Collateral and liquidity have emerged as central concerns for banking and capital markets participants across the globe. Driven by regulatory change, risk mitigation needs, and increased capital sensitivity, collateral has become a strategic asset with far-reaching impact.

In response, Wepoint has established a dedicated Collateral Advisory practice, seamlessly integrated with our industry-leading risk, regulatory, and technology service lines. This practice reflects the inherently cross-functional nature of collateral management, intersecting credit, legal, liquidity, and front-office disciplines.

Through this offering, Wepoint delivers leading-practice management and technology consulting across the full collateral lifecycle. Our capabilities are further enhanced by an exclusive partnership with Finadium, a specialist consultancy recognized for its deep expertise in funding, financing, and market infrastructure across securities finance, repo, collateral, and derivatives.

As regulatory mandates continue to drive convergence between treasury, trading, and risk functions, Wepoint works with clients to design and implement efficient, forward-looking collateral and liquidity management strategies. Our solutions help firms optimize organizational resources, meet regulatory objectives, and reduce capital consumption in an increasingly complex environment.

The move to shorter settlement cycles (T+1 and T+0) is reshaping capital markets infrastructure. While T+1 offers benefits like reduced risk, lower capital requirements, and cost efficiencies, firms must reengineer their settlement processes to keep pace. A shift to T+0 will demand end-to-end automation and advanced technologies like AI to ensure timely delivery and avoid costly settlement fails.

Beyond equities, instruments such as centrally cleared derivatives require accelerated settlement to enable efficient collateral mobility, liquidity management, and risk reduction.

Wepoint specializes in delivering settlement efficiency strategies across products and regions. We support clients throughout the full implementation lifecycle—from design through execution—working closely with global FMIs, custodians, and market participants.

Our work is often embedded within broader digital transformation programs, focused on automating manual tasks, mutualizing non-differentiating functions, and unlocking enterprise data for reuse and monetization—areas where Wepoint brings deep, proven expertise.

Industry challenges

The adoption of tokenized assets continues to face significant structural and regulatory challenges. Interoperability between distributed ledger technology (DLT) platforms and legacy systems remains limited, inhibiting seamless integration across the post-trade ecosystem. Regulatory frameworks governing tokenized assets vary widely across jurisdictions, creating uncertainty in cross-border compliance and market participation. Existing back-office and inventory infrastructures are often ill-equipped to support tokenized workflows, further complicating operational alignment. The absence of standardized, scalable, and open platforms restricts industry-wide adoption, while the lack of comprehensive data on tokenization usage and outcomes limits risk oversight and strategic planning.

Implications/Impacts

Tokenized assets present a compelling value proposition for capital markets firms by streamlining operational workflows and enhancing financial outcomes. The potential for near-instant settlement dramatically reduces operational costs and settlement risk, while enabling real-time liquidity optimization.

Additionally, tokenization broadens access to traditionally illiquid asset classes, unlocking new revenue streams and fostering greater investment democratization. The inherent transparency and immutability of blockchain-based transaction records bolster trust, facilitate auditability, and support regulatory oversight. Moreover, tokenized instruments have the capacity to accelerate cross-border payments, diminishing reliance on conventional banking networks and enhancing payment efficiency across jurisdictions

How Onepoint can help

Effective blockchain adoption in capital markets begins with targeted use case identification—anchored to business objectives, risk appetite, and evolving market dynamics. Technical and financial viability must be rigorously assessed, including competitor benchmarking and market fit analysis.

Quantitative modeling of ROI and operational gains—such as cost reductions, improved cycle times, and enhanced transparency—helps validate investment rationale. Regulatory complexity must be navigated with precision to ensure multi-jurisdictional compliance, particularly in areas involving tokenized assets and smart contracts. Solution design should encompass a resilient architecture, automated smart contracts, seamless legacy integration, and intuitive user experience to accelerate adoption and value realization

Capital markets firms—whether buy-side or sell-side—are under increasing pressure to evolve their middle- and back-office operations. Regulatory mandates continue to expand in scope and complexity, demanding infrastructures that not only comply today but are scalable for tomorrow. At the same time, firms must deliver operational efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and clear return on investment (ROI).

A strategic focus on post-trade transformation delivers far more than compliance. It fuels front-office performance by unlocking opportunities such as increased liquidity through faster settlements, and actionable insights derived from trade reporting data. When leveraged effectively, this data can inform trading strategies or be repackaged as a monetizable asset.

Furthermore, a transparent and streamlined clearing and settlement process enhances decision-making across the trade lifecycle

True transformation extends beyond automation. It involves the mutualization of non-differentiating functions—like margin calculation, regulatory reporting, and trade compression—while empowering revenue-generating teams with the tools and insights they need to outperform.

However, achieving this requires more than technology. It demands a deep understanding of capital markets combined with digital integration capabilities that connect siloed, legacy systems to a modern, flexible post-trade ecosystem—ready to adapt, scale, and grow with the business.
