London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has set in motion its digital markets infrastructure (DMI) platform for private funds and enabled its initial transaction.
DMI will provide blockchain-powered scale and efficiencies for the entire asset lifecycle—from issuance, tokenisation, and distribution, to post-trade asset settlement and servicing, across multiple asset classes.
The platform will be compatible with existing market solutions in distributed ledger technology (DLT) and conventional finance.
Built in partnership with Microsoft, DMI is in line with LSEG’s aim to be the first global exchange group to back customers through the entire funding spectrum.
The DMI platform will initially be accessible to private funds, but will be extended to other asset classes.
DMI, which was developed on Microsoft Azure will be further evolved and scaled by LSEG and Microsoft.
Private funds brought onto DMI will be visible to workspace’s users through their day-to-day workflow, allowing general patterns to engage with investors and access private market investment opportunities.
MembersCap and Archax have been integrated onto the platform as the first clients.
The first transaction has been enabled with MembersCap, the general partner of MCM fund 1, creating a primary fundraise with Archax, operating as nominee for a web-3 foundation.
EJF capital has also been onboarded as an early adopter.
Dr. Darko Hajdukovic, head of digital markets infrastructure, LSEG, says: “There are many processes in private markets today that can be improved. At LSEG we are committed to significantly improving access to private markets, by streamlining workflows, enhancing distribution, and enabling liquidity. We intend to do this by continually working with all stakeholders to enhance efficiencies and connectivity for both digitally-native and traditional assets.”
Bill Borden, corporate vice president, worldwide financial services, Microsoft adds: “Microsoft’s collaboration with LSEG on its DMI is a powerful example of the innovation driving our strategic partnership.”
