About DelphX:
DelphX is a technology company focused on optimizing fixed income markets globally by transforming how credit capital is secured. Its blockchain-powered solution employs proprietary distributed ledger technology, actuarial science and reinsurance protocols to facilitate broad diffusion of credit default risks. The new DelphX alternative trading system ("ATS") facility will be regulated by the SEC and operated by DelphX Services Corporation, a FINRA member firm, to facilitate the negotiation, purchase and trading of two new forms of Smart Securities:
- Covered Put Options (CPOs) that provide secured default protection for underlying corporate, municipal and sovereign securities, with each CPO strike-price equaling the par value of its underlying security; and
- Covered Reference Notes (CRNs) that allow investors to take on exposure to the default risk of a single underlying security or to optionally participate in a pool of diversified risks that broadly diffuses the impact of credit events among all participants.
All CPOs and CRNs will be issued by Quantem Capital Corporation Ltd.("Quantem"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of DelphX, and transparently administered within an immutable Distributed Ledger. A traditional book-entry record of each CPO and CRN will also be maintained in parallel by Quantem's issuing and paying agent to provide additional transparency and efficiency.
