Full Definition
Clearstream Banking S.A. is one of the world's largest settlement and custody organizations, part of Deutsche Börse Group. It provides post-trade infrastructure services for domestic and international securities. Through Sails.to's CrossConversion, CrossSecurities can be converted to bankable ISIN format and held in Clearstream, allowing traditional financial institutions to custody these assets within their existing infrastructure.
Why It Matters
Clearstream is the gold standard for institutional custody. When your security tokens can be held in Clearstream, they're accessible to virtually every institutional investor, private bank, and wealth manager in the world.
This is Sails.to's secret weapon: by bridging to ISIN format and settling through Clearstream, we give blockchain-native assets the same credibility and accessibility as traditional securities. No new custody arrangements needed—your tokens fit into existing workflows.
