Blockchain Use Cases in Capital Markets

Powering Transparent, Tamper-Proof, and Trust-Driven Capital Market Solutions with Blockchain

Blockchain has redefined how capital markets function – bringing unprecedented levels of security, transparency, and automation to financial transactions and market operations. By leveraging distributed ledger technology (DLT), market participants can streamline processes, reduce operational costs, and eliminate reconciliation delays across the trade lifecycle.

eVoting & AGM/EGM Management

In our Meeting Management & eVoting Solution, blockchain secures the entire voting lifecycle—ensuring immutable recording of votes, real-time quorum validation, and full transparency for shareholders and regulators. This adds a powerful layer of trust to virtual and hybrid AGMs, EGMs, and BOD meetings.

IPO Allocation & Subscription Validation

TTS integrates blockchain into its Retail IPO and Institutional Book-Building Platforms to ensure secure subscription tracking, real-time bid transparency, and tamper-proof final allocation records. This fosters greater investor confidence and audit readiness.

Post-Trade Reconciliation in Dividend & Fund Distribution

Our Dividend Distribution and Fund Management Solutions utilize blockchain for real-time transaction tracking, reducing manual reconciliation between banks, registrars, and custodians—eliminating delays and ensuring accurate disbursements.

Investor Identity & KYC Lifecycle

Through blockchain integration, our Investor Onboarding Platform enables reusable, tamper-proof KYC records that reduce friction for investors while maintaining compliance for institutions. Verified identities are securely accessible across the capital market ecosystem.

Private Placement & Crowdfunding Management

In our Private Placement and Crowdfunding Platforms, blockchain ensures transparency in investor qualification, secure capital subscription, and real-time audit trails—building trust in alternative capital-raising environments.

Audit & Regulatory Reporting

TTS platforms across IPOs, funds, and meetings are equipped with blockchain-based audit logs. This empowers issuers, lead managers, and regulators with verifiable records of actions and transactions—simplifying compliance and strengthening market oversight.

Blockchain Benefits Across the Ecosystem

  • Increased Trust: Greater confidence among investors, regulators, and stakeholders

  • Streamlined Compliance: Real-time audit trails and transparent reporting

Regulatory Technology Trends in MENA

Shaping the Future of Compliance, Risk Management & Digital Market Infrastructure

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is undergoing a rapid transformation in capital markets—driven by increasing regulatory sophistication, market modernization, and digital adoption.
