The Santiago Stock Exchange (STE), Central Securities Depository (DCV) and Global Trade Directory (GTD) announced the creation of a new Blockchain association.

The company BNamericas informs that STE, DCV and GTD have created a consortium for creating Blockchain financial applications, which is reportedly the first of its kind in Latin America.

The agreement provides for the creation of a Blockchain business network: infrastructure to connect public clients around the world via nodes that will provide access to various applications running on the Hyperledger platform.

"Since 2017, we have been cooperating with other securities depositories around the world in the application of Blockchain to the services of our industry, to which is added a project that we are implementing with the central bank of Chile to include this technology in the issue of its financial instruments "- says the Director-General of the Central Securities Depository, Fernando Yanez.

After signing the contract, the three institutions will create a technical committee whose task will be to design the system within six months, consulting the members of the alliance. After this phase, a team of programmers will be employed to build a Blockchain-based platform in about 18 months.
