In this feature article, “A stroke of GENIUS for stablecoins as post-trade faces change,” FinScan industry and product experts Steve Marshall and Chris Ostrowski break down how blockchain payments and stablecoins are reshaping the foundations of post-trade operations and why legacy processes may not keep up:
Instant, blockchain-based settlement eliminates the comfort of pending transactions and end-of-day batch reconciliation. Instead, firms must adopt continuous monitoring, real-time liquidity management, and modernized reporting frameworks built for cross-chain data flows. Without rethinking infrastructure, today’s data and reporting models simply won’t scale.
The operational and regulatory risks that accompany this speed. From third-party oversight and vendor governance to persistent data-quality challenges and AI accountability, compliance responsibility ultimately remains with firms, not their technology.
Together, their insights offer a practical roadmap for institutions navigating faster settlement cycles, rising regulatory expectations, and global fragmentation—making clear that modernization is foundational to competing in the next era of digital payments.
