Institutional Settlement & Margin Infrastructure

Adhara's institutional infrastructure provides banks and financial market participants with enterprise-grade clearing, settlement, and margin management capabilities through wholesale digital money infrastructure. The platform delivers structural balance sheet benefits, reduces counterparty credit risk, and enables real-time atomic settlement across cross-border payments and derivatives clearing.

MarginBloc - Digital Margin Settlement

MarginBloc reimagines the cash settlement process for cleared and uncleared initial and variation margin in the digital age. The solution delivers structural balance sheet benefits including improved cash ratios, reduced counterparty credit risk leading to lower RWA charges, decreased cash management operational costs, and avoidance of large exposure risk.

Stakeholder Integration

The platform provides a consistent solution across the entire margin ecosystem, streamlining the use of new digital settlement assets across treasuries, operations teams, CCPs, calculation agents, and bilateral counterparties. This unified approach eliminates fragmented workflows and creates a standardized interface for all margin-related cash movements.

Liquidity Optimization

MarginBloc connects banks to multiple CCPs across multiple currencies, enabling a single source of liquidity for a given settlement pool. This consolidated approach eliminates the need for separate pre-funded accounts at each CCP in each currency, dramatically reducing total liquidity requirements while maintaining operational flexibility.

Benefits for CCPs

CCPs gain the ability to address new digital markets while driving efficiencies in existing product lines. The solution delivers systematic risk reduction through funds being earmarked in central bank omnibus accounts, providing enhanced certainty and oversight. CCPs eliminate internal cash management requirements as underlying funds are pledged and held securely at the central bank.
