[London Stock Exchange Group Launches Digital Settlement Hub, Completes Proof of Concept on Canton] Foresight News reports that the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has launched the Digital Settlement Hub (LSEG DiSH), an open-access platform that supports programmatic real-time settlement between on-chain and off-chain independent payment networks. By utilizing commercial bank deposits stored on the DiSH ledger (DiSH Cash), the service enables 24/7 real-time movement of commercial bank funds across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, including PVP and DVP. The London Stock Exchange stated that this launch follows the successful completion of a proof of concept (PoC) in collaboration with Digital Asset and a consortium of financial institutions. The PoC was conducted on the Canton network, covering transactions involving multiple assets and currencies. It utilized commercial deposits from major commercial banks, with ownership recorded on the LSEG DiSH ledger, allowing PoC participants to transfer commercial deposits instantly. These deposits were tokenized on the Canton network and used as the cash component in transactions.
