National Settlement Depository
From CryptoWiki
Basics
- Based in Moscow
- From Forbes Blockchain 50 (19-2-2020):
"After a few early tests issuing bonds on a blockchain, Russia’s central securities depository has helped to create the Distributed Digital Depository (D3Ledger) for storing and exchanging crypto assets even if they are issued on different blockchains. The NSD is also working with the Russian Agricultural Bank to issue grain tokens that more transparently track the movement of grain stored in Russian silos—often used as collateral in swaps transactions. In April 2019 NSD parent company Moscow Exchange discovered shortages in six such grain silos resulting in $37 million in losses, something the depository thinks could be fixed if its technology was integrated at every layer of the supply chain."
