ISLA Americas & EY - From Boom to Bust: Considerations for the Securities Lending Industry

ISLA Americas is pleased to announce the release of our latest white paper, "From Boom to Bust: Considerations for the Securities Lending Industry,” developed in collaboration with EY.

This forward-looking publication explores the transformational power of emerging technologies—particularly Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and tokenization—and their profound implications for liquidity, collateral management, and market accessibility. It challenges conventional thinking and provides a blueprint for how securities lending markets must evolve to stay ahead.

The future of securities lending is not merely about adopting new technologies; it’s about fundamentally rethinking and restructuring securities lending markets to thrive amidst rapid changes. DLT and tokenization are reshaping the securities lending landscape, enabling near real-time settlement and automated collateral management. 

This paper is essential reading for ISLA Americas members. It not only highlights the opportunities ahead but equips you with the strategic insights needed to lead through change.

The full report is available to read here.

We encourage you to explore this important work and join us in shaping the next chapter of securities lending.
