Deon Digital's SFI system can revolutionise securities trading

In collaboration with DIKU, Agreena ApS, BEC Financial Technologies a.m.b.a. and Capital Market Partners A/S, Deon Digital has, through four courses supported by Copenhagen Fintech, shown that their Smart Financial Instruments system (SFI system) has the potential to revolutionise processes in connection with securities trading.

The SFI system is like a safe and fast digital cashbox for trading money and investments. It makes it easier and safer for citizens and businesses to buy and sell e.g. bonds and digital assets. Everything happens almost instantly and all information is stored on a highly secure digital platform. This helps reduce errors and makes financial transactions more reliable and transparent.

The four Copenhagen Fintech programmes showed such good results that all parties involved were invited to the Danish FSA's FT Lab, which aims to create a safe environment where selected companies can test new technologies and business models in the financial sector. Here, the SFI system also proved its usefulness.

Fritz Henglein, Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Director of Research at Deon Digital, highlights the importance of the process and the valuable dialogue between companies, universities and regulators:

- The trial has been crucial in demonstrating the significant utility of the SFI system and how it can transform the capital market infrastructure.

This successful test has not only benefited Deon Digital, but has also helped enrich the financial community's understanding of DLT technology and its potential in practice. Overall, the entire programme has created a fruitful forum for the exchange of knowledge and experience between companies, regulators and universities in the field of DLT, capital market infrastructure and regulation.
