Soci茅t茅 G茅n茅rale has gone live on Broadridge鈥檚 distributed ledger technology repo platform (DLR) to further transform its capital markets operations.
The blockchain-enabled platform aims to accelerate the digitisation of the global repo market to reduce risk and operational costs and enhance liquidity.
