Minsait marks a milestone in financial innovation

Minsait, an Indra Group company, has successfully completed its participation in the Bank of Spain's experimental programme, which focuses on the use of digital tokens in the financial sector. 

This project, which forms part of the Banco de España's innovation initiatives, has made it possible to examine how this technology can improve the efficiency and traceability of financial transactions, although any development in this area would fall under the umbrella of the Eurosystem. 

Started in May 2024, the project has investigated the issuance and settlement of digital assets on the same DLT (distributed ledger technology) platform, with the aim of exploring possible improvements in the efficiency, security and agility of wholesale market transaction settlement. 

The programme of experimentation relating to the use of wholesale digital tokens (known as Wholesale Central Bank Digital Currencies or wholesale CBDC) offers the Bank of Spain an opportunity to collaborate with the private sector to explore the advantages and disadvantages inherent in the use of an emerging technology. 

Specifically, this initiative allows for an analysis of the extent to which the application of these tokens in the field of financial market infrastructures could serve to accelerate their adaptation to the needs and demands of an increasingly digital society. During this experimentation phase, several use cases have been developed and tested, such as the issuance of a wholesale central bank coin (wCBDC), the creation of tokenised bonds, delivery versus payment (DvP), coupon payments and amortisation, among others.

Minsait's work on this programme reinforces its commitment to technological innovation and its ability to collaborate with leading institutions in digital transformation. The results obtained offer valuable insights for the development of solutions based on blockchain and digital tokens, thus contributing to a more robust financial ecosystem that is prepared for future challenges. 

This achievement positions Minsait as a leading technology partner, capable of offering innovative solutions for the evolution of the financial sector, always in accordance with the standards and guidelines of the competent authorities.
