London Stock Exchange Group has launched a digital settlement hub called DiSH, which utilizes blockchain technology to enable 24/7 real-time settlement of commercial bank tokenized deposits. The platform supports multi-currency trading, cross-network settlement, and risk management, and can act as a notary to complete settlements.

【BlockBeats】London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) recently made a big move—launching a digital settlement center called DiSH. In simple terms, this platform aims to use blockchain technology to connect tokenized deposits of commercial banks, enabling 24/7 real-time settlement.

What can the platform do? Supporting multi-currency trading and cross-network settlement are basic functions, along with advanced features like dynamic intraday liquidity management, synchronized settlement (PvP/DvP), and risk mitigation mechanisms. The entire system is operated by the LSEG Post Trade Solutions department. Interestingly, DiSH can settle on its own ledger and also act as a notary to support settlements on other networks.

Earlier, LSEG teamed up with software company Digital Asset to conduct a proof of concept with multiple financial institutions on the Canton Network. The results were promising—successfully achieving intraday repurchase transactions across different currencies and asset types. In fact, LSEG has been active in this area for some time, having launched a blockchain platform for private equity funds as early as September 2025.

Established exchanges are also starting to compete in blockchain settlement, and this time it's for real.

LSE finally got started. Traditional finance still needs to embrace blockchain, but whether this set of technologies can truly be implemented depends on what happens next. Anyway, I'm keeping an eye on it.

Now traditional finance has finally started to move, but how many times has the 24/7 settlement been hyped up? How quickly it can actually be implemented remains to be seen.

Traditional finance is finally starting to seriously play with blockchain, but I'm still a bit worried whether they can truly implement decentralization properly...
