In a recent interview with Finadium, David Raccat, co-founder and chief revenue officer of Wematch.live, discussed the significant disruption underway in securities financing markets.

Securities financing volumes have grown rapidly, surpassing $300bn, while total return swap (TRS) volumes and turnover continue to hit new records.

Wematch’s latest initiatives include solutions for automating TRS workflows, providing pricing transparency, and enabling DLT-based intraday repo trading and real-time portfolio updates. With the sell-side facing regulatory pressures, Wematch is well-positioned to facilitate the shift from physical to synthetic financing.
