The Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME) has called on EU co-legislators to be more ambitious with the DLT reforms in the Market Integration and Supervision Package (MISP). It argues that greater settlement choice for users is key to integrating Europe’s fragmented capital markets.

T+1 is changing far more than settlement

Ben van der Velpen — Tue, 29 Sep 2026 05:55:13 +0000

The move to T+1 is often framed as a settlement challenge. But for the panellists at Sibos 2026 in Miami, the real test comes before the trade reaches settlement, and across the entire post-trade chain.
“T+1 is definitely a settlement redesign, but it’s not only about settlement and it’s mostly about anything but settlement,” said Camille Papillard, deputy head of Banks and Brokers Securities Services at BNP Paribas.

Building on the original Shareholder Rights Directive (SRD I) from 2007, it introduced binding requirements across five areas: shareholder identification, the facilitation of shareholder rights, the transmission of information through intermediaries, transparency of proxy advisors, and director remuneration.

Will convergence kill coexistence?

Ben van der Velpen — Wed, 19 Aug 2026 05:15:04 +0000

DEEP LOOK | As TradFi and DeFi draw closer, the post-trade world is asking a pointed question: will convergence mean fewer standards, a convergence of standards, or just the mounting cost of maintaining too many?

The question sounds abstract. It isn’t. As settlement cycles compress from T+2 to T+1 and the industry looks beyond that towards T+0 and atomic settlement, the data richness, uniformity and consistency required to operate at speed and scale comes sharply into focus. Standards either enable that journey or slow it down. In the view of Paul Fullam, chair of ISITC and senior business consultant at FIS, one in particular is doing both simultaneously and the industry holds the key.

Shortening settlement cycles is a relay, not a sprint, says EU regulator

Ben van der Velpen — Wed, 08 Jul 2026 05:28:05 +0000

Ross was direct about where the burden now sits on EU T+1 readiness. “No one can be ready in isolation,” she told delegates. “Each firm must, of course, assess its own readiness, but that alone is not enough.” Firms, she said, need to check the readiness of their entire ecosystem — clients, brokers, custodians, CSDs, trading venues, CCPs, vendors and outsource providers — because “readiness has to be tested up and down the trading and settlement chain, and one weak link can create pressure throughout that chain.”
