Imagine a blockchain so powerful, it’s not just part of the conversation but leading the charge in the financial sector.
That’s XDC Network for you.
The world of blockchain and finance is evolving at breakneck speed, and recent developments are showing how key players are shaping this future. Today, let’s dive into what’s happening with the XDC Network and its growing adoption in global financial systems, from R3 Corda to DTCC’s Project Ion. We’ll explore who these organizations are, why they matter, and what all this means for XDC—and, by extension, platforms like GEMxAPP.
XDC Network and R3 Corda: A Blueprint for Interoperability
This collaboration is a game-changer. A proof-of-concept (PoC) between XDC Network and R3 Corda—two heavyweights in blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT)—showed how digital assets could move seamlessly between their systems. Conducted by SBI R3 Japan and SBI XDC Network APAC, this experiment demonstrated the power of interoperability. The result? A blueprint for how blockchain can streamline trade finance, enabling faster settlements, lower costs, and smoother transactions across different platforms. Not sometime in the future, but happening now!
DTCC’s Project Ion: Revolutionizing Securities Settlements
The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the backbone of the global financial system, handles over $2.4 quadrillion in securities annually. With Project Ion, DTCC has embraced blockchain to modernize securities settlements. Running parallel to traditional systems, Project Ion processes over 100,000 equity transactions daily on a DLT. This initiative underscores blockchain’s potential, offering fast, secure, and cost-effective settlements while maintaining scalability and reliability. For XDC, these developments highlight the critical role blockchain can play in financial markets.

DTCC: With its scale and influence, DTCC’s adoption of blockchain in Project Ion signals a shift in the financial industry. Its endorsement of distributed ledger solutions demonstrates that blockchain is no longer experimental—it’s the future of finance.
Japan’s SBI Group: A Strategic Partner in Innovation
The collaboration between XDC and R3 also involves SBI R3 Japan and SBI XDC Network APAC, subsidiaries of Japan’s financial services giant SBI Holdings. SBI has been a driving force in blockchain adoption, integrating the technology into banking, trade, and securities. While not a state bank, SBI Holdings aligns closely with Japan’s government-backed efforts to modernize financial systems and enhance international trade. SBI’s involvement reflects how nations and corporations are prioritizing blockchain as a competitive advantage. This partnership further validates XDC’s growing reputation as a trusted solution for global trade finance.
