Securitization issuance, including agency and non-agency mortgage-backed securities (MBS) and asset-backed securities (ABS), totaled $2.2 trillion in 2016 — a 9.3% increase from 2015.
As this market continues to grow, decentralized trading platforms are demonstrating how blockchain technology can be applied to allow issuers to sell securities themselves, without having to go through any middlemen. As a result, a number of benefits become evident, such as more revenue going directly to e-commerce providers, along with assets that are fully secure and transparent over the blockchain.
"When looking at the fixed-income market, the question comes to mind: Why do I need a human broker to issue and sell securities? We want to use blockchain technology to make this task fully automated," said Dr. Michael Yuan, Chief Scientist at CyberMiles.
