FinP2P Specifications

The Genesis of FinP2P

On the 26th of May 2020, an industry group, the Private Markets Digitization Steering Group, which was formed under the umbrella of GDF, came together with the purpose of tokenizing financial markets. The group included leading financial institutions, market infrastructure players, major technology companies, Fintech startups and regulation experts.

About FinP2P

FinP2P is a proposal for a digital security network specification, which would be:

  • Open to all regulated institutions

  • Multi-vendor

  • Ledger agnostic

  • Open Interfaces

The specifications for FinP2P will be driven mainly by members of the Technology work stream, but are public and transparent to the industry. The plan is for these specifications to be open-sourced, so that every market participant across the value chain, can develop and deploy technology utilizing these specification, to form a global, institutional digital securities network.

We encourage all stake holders and contributors to review the specifications, and participate in the discussion.
