Custody at the Centre of Market Scale Why a continuously aligned post- trade state is becoming foundational to the next phase of global market growth

Global custody is at a turning point. What once looked resilient now exposes fragility as trillions in assets move under compressed settlement windows. Institutions face widening gaps between ownership records, liquidity visibility, and settlement certainty – gaps that threaten scale, transparency, and trust.

This Market POV introduces a breakthrough perspective on how custody is evolving from safekeeping into a Market Coordination Layer. It signals the structural model that can sustain alignment across participants, redefining resilience, transparency, and coherence in real time.

The institutions that move first toward continuous alignment will not just reduce reconciliation overhead – they will define the next generation of market resilience, transparency, and trust.
