ColleX in turn provides a centralised liquidity hub for collateral lending and repo transactions.
The collaboration will connect the two trading venues, for improved price discovery through the CRC legal document and triparty platform. CRC clients can then actively trade with each other directly with simple settlement connectivity.
Glen Stone, head of ColleX, said: 鈥淏y coupling Clearstream鈥檚 capability to manage the operational lifecycle of triparty repo transactions with the ColleX trading technology, ColleX is offering price discovery and best execution to further streamline and simplify a historically fragmented market which can be difficult to access.鈥�
