Post-Trade Execution in crypto refers to the sequence of activities that occur immediately following the successful matching and confirmation of a trade in digital assets or derivatives. These activities are essential for finalizing the transaction and updating relevant records.
Mechanism
This process includes trade allocation, confirmation, clearing, settlement, and record-keeping. For crypto, this involves broadcasting transaction details to the blockchain (for on-chain settlement) or updating ledger entries on centralized platforms, moving assets between accounts, and performing margin calculations and reconciliation.
Methodology
The strategic approach to post-trade execution focuses on minimizing operational risk, ensuring data integrity, and optimizing settlement efficiency. Automated systems and smart contracts play a significant role in streamlining these processes, reducing manual errors, and enhancing the speed and transparency of asset transfers in institutional crypto trading.
T+1 settlement compresses the trade lifecycle, forcing a desynchronization between equity settlement and FX funding that demands systemic automation and proactive liquidity management.
