Post-trade change in Asia is following a different path from other regions as firms assess T+1 alongside a broader set of digital and operational priorities. The question is not only whether faster settlement makes sense now, but how it compares with other transformation needs across the region. 

In this episode of Xchange, Barnaby Nelson, Jean-Remi Lopez and Mark Brannigan reflect on recent discussions across Asia, exploring the case for T+1, the regulatory and market practices shaping settlement cycles, and what digital assets, tokenisation and potential 24/5 trading in the US could mean for the region.

The episode highlights:

  • Whether T+1 has a clear business case in Asian markets today

  • How regulation and market practice continue to shape settlement models

  • Why digital assets and tokenisation may address more immediate bottlenecks
