Distributed ledger technology (DLT) and services firm R3 has launched the R3 Digital Markets product suite.
Kate Karimson has been appointed chief commercial officer and will lead the roll out of the suite.
Powered by Corda, R3’s tokenisation platform, the suite provides full lifecycle management of digital currencies and digital assets.
It also includes R3 Digital Connect, which enables the integration of existing systems with DLT networks, and R3 Digital Lab, a cloud-based collaborative lab for companies to launch DLT projects without a complex infrastructure.
Through the launch, R3 aims to support firms’ concurrent management of digital and traditional assets, promoting interoperability and enhancing existing operations.
With more than a decade of experience, Karimson joins R3 from trading platform LedgerEdge. Prior to this, she held roles at CME Group including executive director for BrokerTec products, and was global product manager for TrueQuote CrossTrade at ICAP.
Karimson says: “R3 Digital Markets is all about bringing together the experience of R3 and the foundations of Corda to modernise infrastructures and lay the groundwork for regulated networks that are not built in silos.
“R3 Digital Markets further removes barriers to entry for firms looking to build innovative DLT solutions, so they can prepare for the future of digital finance.”
David Rutter, founder and CEO of R3, comments: “We’re designing long-term solutions for a seamlessly connected financial world.
“With the launch of R3 Digital Markets, we’re further progressing Corda’s mission to unlock the true potential of digital currencies and digital assets, bringing unparalleled value to economies as they digitise.”
