Draft of categories (to be converted into a mind map graph):
- Capital Markets -Question - Would it make sense to distinguish first between Primary and Secondary Market? If so, Bond Origination/Issuance should be the category under Primary markets and the rest under Secondary Market
- Exchange traded products
- Trading - rarely applicable
- Post-trade
- Fungible products - well suited for DLT in clearing, settlement, and other post-trade activities (GiveUps, allocations, mark-to-market, fees, etc)
- Non-fungible products - well suited for DLT in post trade activities like GiveUp, allocation, mark-to-market, fees, etc
- Risk management
- Margin calculations - typically, too heavy to be done of the ledger itself, but margin management may be a good fit
- Other?
- Over-the-counter (OTC) products
- Deal negotiation - there is a manual process in many markets in this area
- Settlement
- Bond origination/issuance - use of DLT (smart contracts) for syndication process and settlement (commercial paper, bonds)
- Exchange traded products
- Regulation
