Exchange group sees growth in multi-asset class integration and innovation with purchase of FX trading platform and blockchain stake.
Clearstream's GSF Summit ran Jan 27 to 28, 2016 in Luxembourg
As the new asset class in the Group, 360T is fitting its OTC background into the on-exchange environment.
It seems that getting the ‘right balance’ between innovation and stability has people ‘living, breathing and working on it on a daily basis’, according to Carlo Kölzer, 360T Group’s CEO and Global Head of FX for DB, speaking at Clearstream’s annual Global Securities Finance (GSF) Summit held in Luxembourg in late January.
How the platform integrates within the whole group is a work in progress, and in an earlier statement, derivatives were floated as a ‘potential’ instrument to add to spot FX, though a spokeswoman declined to comment on the stage of development.
You cannot start early enough to invest and also to test new technologies.
In the "German speaking world", 360T has market penetration of between 80% and 90% for FX trading, so coordinating with Clearstream means making it easy for corporates to trade repos, a type of short-term borrowing.
“The advantage here is electronically traded, straight through processing…and this is an advantage for corporates which have only a small team, information straight away (is) put into the treasury management systems,” said Nicole Sattinger, who handles GSF sales and relationship for Clearstream.
On the buy side, FX is getting more and more focus amid a trend towards active management, said 360T’s Kölzer. Part of that is because of ‘credit sensitivity’ in the aftermath of the SNB crisis, when Switzerland's central bank unpegged the Swiss franc from the euro in January 2015.

Jean Robert-Wilkin, Executive Director, Head of Product Management at Clearstream, added that the acquisition is part of an evolution as banks and broker-dealers move away from balance sheet intensive activities in an era of deleveraging, and pointed to the benefit of the “fantastic distribution network they offer the Group, with many different clients which we have no access to so far”.
Technology challenges
The biggest challenge, Kölzer said, is keeping up with tectonic shifts in technology and being prepared for changes across multiple organizational layers in a tough economic environment. Digital finance is on his radar in particular.
“You cannot start early enough to invest and also to test new technologies,” Kölzer added.
CEO of Clearstream, Jeffrey Tessler, pointed to DB’s recent investment in Digital Asset Holdings, the blockchain start up, as part of a strategy to “explore developments in the Fintech space”.
And there’s no doubt that technology is shaking up the established order, with five specific areas of interest: big data and analytics; equity crowdfunding; social media mining; robotics; and blockchain.
“Blockchain technology is the big one,” said Robert Somogyi, Clearstream’s Director of Business Planning, adding that activities will be across the whole of the Group – including trading and clearing - in what is intended to be a holistic approach.
I suspect regulators are going to want to get rid of the obfuscation and risk pooling that clearing corporations very often create.
Somogyi said that aside from working with colleagues, DB has been assessing the technology and its potential uses, building prototypes and dealing with both internal and external parties on ideas and developments, investing in and joining the board of Digital Asset Holdings, as well as joined the Linux Foundation Hyperledger project. There is also constant dialogue with clients and regulators.
Blockchain skeptics
It was a skeptical audience however, and cynicism and questions about security were a dominant theme when it came to blockchain, albeit a subject that garnered huge interest.
Not to mention, that in a distributed ledger world trading, execution, clearing and settlement collapses into one function, which has major banks and custodians asking whether they are looking at disintermediating technology.

That’s yet to be determined, but prime brokerage is the space to watch, said Edan Yago, CEO of Epiphyte, a firm providing blockchain-powered SaaS service for instant settlement and DVP (delivery versus payment) for financial trades.
“Prime brokers are going to be one of the most interesting places in terms of the changes that we are going to be seeing in the next few years, which is also why we are seeing them lead the charge into the market,” said Yago, pointing to the R3 coalition as a case in point.
Today, they are in a ‘privileged’ position allowing for bundled services, he explained: “They may be able to improve this position, be able to provide even deeper, even more of a cradle-to-grave service, from order to settlement, because now – if their clients give it to them – they have access to the entire trade cycle.
I don’t trust anyone. I trust the basic mathematical laws of the universe.
“On the other hand, this privileged position is no longer as pure, any other local bank can now begin to try and offer the same kind of services as these technologies become accessible and more easily used.”
Regulatory intervention, meanwhile, was somewhat dismissed. “I suspect regulators are going to want to get rid of the obfuscation and risk pooling that clearing corporations very often create,” said Yago. “The Bank of England, one of the things that they are most excited about is the fact that they can ask for, and demand, real time transparency for every single transaction happening in the market, and be able to see its entire history.”
Transparency and trading
Still, the industry has not yet sorted through the regulatory and legal topics around blockchain, and this will not only take time but distributed ledgers will also have to prove cost efficient, said Clearstream’s Somogyi.
“Blockchain would have to really have a huge major factor of savings in how long it takes to program something and get it to market to really compete with existing systems, that are extremely complex, in a very short amount of time,” he said. “And that may or may not happen.”

And though transparency is great for the middle and back office, there’s a big question mark over the benefits for trading: “Having all of your positions on the ledger, which anyone in the market can derive is not necessarily good for trading strategies and for other market activities, so it will take time to get through all of these challenges.”
High frequency traders in particular can breathe easy because security of blockchain systems is often achieved by inefficiency, explained Epiphyte’s Yago. “We burn time in order to make sure that the transactions that go through are fully validated, so there’s no such thing as true real-time transactions on a distributed ledger…the more time you wait the more secure you are.”
One thing’s for sure, the issue of trust is turned on its head and the industry better get used to it.
“Today, finance has developed around trust in the intermediary, there is someone to sue,” Yago said. “The distributed ledger is based on an entirely different idea: I don’t trust anyone. I trust the basic mathematical laws of the universe.”

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
