What's Holding Bond Markets Back
Bond issuance is fast. Everything after it isn't.
Settlement Lag
T+2 and T+3 settlement cycles tie up capital and create counterparty risk. Without atomic settlement, asset and cash legs move independently — creating reconciliation gaps and operational drift that compliance teams scramble to manage.
Manual Servicing
Coupon calculations, dividend distributions, coupon payments, and maturity redemptions still run through spreadsheets and manual workflows. Every corporate action is an error surface: withholding miscalculations, missed payments, month-end reconciliation headaches.
Fragmented Access
High minimum denominations — often $100K+ — restrict investor participation. Geographic restrictions and fragmented secondary market infrastructure limit distribution reach and lock up liquidity.

What changes with DALP
Configurable Issuance
Configurable Issuance
Deploy bonds with configurable terms, coupon schedules, and maturity logic. Purpose-built contract templates carry the operational logic the bond lifecycle demands — integrated into existing core systems and governance frameworks.
Ex-ante Compliance
Ex-ante Compliance
Every transfer validated against accredited investor verification, jurisdiction checks, holding periods, and supply limits — before execution, not after. 12 compliance module types model complex multi-jurisdictional requirements across EU MiCA, Singapore MAS, UK FCA, and Japan FSA.
Atomic DvP Settlement
Atomic DvP Settlement
Delivery-versus-Payment executed atomically. Both asset and cash legs complete together or both revert — eliminating counterparty risk, reconciliation gaps, and the operational drift of fragmented settlement workflows.

Compliant Peer-to-Peer Transfers
Compliant Peer-to-Peer Transfers
Compliant peer-to-peer transfers between verified investors. T+0 settlement finality within the compliance framework.
Fractionalization
Fractionalization
Configurable denominations open bonds to new investor segments. OCBC reduced minimum investment to SGD 10,000 — enabling participation from investors previously locked out of corporate bond markets.
