Settlement Technology for Digital, Physical and Tokenised Markets

Settlement technology is the infrastructure that completes trade obligations through the transfer of cash, assets, ownership records or ledger balances. It connects the exchange’s internal records with external asset control.

A modern settlement system must support multiple asset classes, multiple settlement cycles, multiple custody models and structured reporting.

ADEX Technology can support settlement workflows across:

Different products require different settlement logic. A digital asset, commodity, carbon credit, fiat currency, security, freight obligation and climate future cannot all be treated the same way.

Clear Vault™ is ADEX Technology’s settlement and collateral operations interface. It is designed to support post-trade allocation, treasury management, settlement readiness, asset control and collateral visibility.

Clear Vault™ provides an operational layer through which settlement activity can be monitored, managed and reconciled across the exchange infrastructure.

Settlement depends on reliable asset control. ADEX Technology supports integration with custodians, banks, vaults, warehouses, registries and other approved asset control environments.

Custodian integration may include:

ADEX Technology can support different settlement cycles depending on the asset and market model. These may include T+0, T+1, T+2, intraday settlement, delivery-period settlement or expiry-based futures settlement.

The platform is designed to make settlement status visible and auditable, reducing operational uncertainty across the market.

For commodities, carbon, freight and tokenised real-world assets, settlement must be asset-aware. The system must understand what is being delivered, where it is held, who controls it and how ownership or rights are transferred.

ADEX Technology is designed to support markets where settlement is not simply a cash movement, but a controlled transfer of real economic value.

Settlement data must be accessible through dashboards and reporting APIs. A settlement reporting API allows authorised users and connected systems to retrieve settlement information in structured form.

Depending on market configuration, the settlement reporting API may support:

This improves operational transparency and allows participants, operators and integrated systems to track settlement activity efficiently.
