The New Financial Stack - Who Partners with DevvX and Why

Discover how DevvX’s deterministic blockchain is redefining global finance. This article explores which major institutions could partner with DevvX, what they gain, and how Contingent Transaction Sets replace legacy post-trade infrastructure.

In every technological shift, there are two kinds of players: those who build on the new foundation, and those who get built over.

With DevvX’s Contingent Transaction Sets (CTS) and Mathematically Instant Settlement (MIS) redefining what “finality” means in finance, the next decade will see a complete reconstruction of market infrastructure from trading to custody, from clearing to compliance.

The question is no longer if this transition happens, but who will drive it.

Below are the partners, industries, and global giants most likely to benefit from joining the DevvX revolution — and what each stands to gain as the legacy stack collapses beneath them.

Exchanges and Market Operators Need Instant Settlement, With No Intermediaries

Example Names:

London Stock Exchange (LSE), New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, Euronext, TMX, Deutsche Börse

The Opportunity:

Traditional exchanges execute trades in milliseconds but still depend on a post-trade chain of custodians which are mandatory for them to use to remain compliant. This includes clearing houses, and central securities depositories (CSDs) to actually settle them, often taking two full days!

By integrating DevvX’s deterministic settlement layer, exchanges could move from matching engines to completion engines! Meaning they instantly finalize trades without relying on Euroclear, Clearstream, or DTCC.

CTS-enabled exchanges could offer:

  • T+0 instant settlement for all listed instruments

  • On-chain record-keeping of beneficial ownership

  • Instant cross-border securities transfers

  • Integrated digital asset listings alongside traditional equities and bonds

Imagine a world where buying a share on LSE or Nasdaq is as instant and final as sending a text message. DevvX makes that not only possible, but compliant and auditable too.

Banks and Custodians From Middlemen to Node Operators

Example Names:

J.P. Morgan, Citi, HSBC, BNY Mellon, State Street, Northern Trust

The Opportunity:

Custodian banks today make billions safeguarding securities, managing corporate actions, and maintaining client sub-ledgers. But in a DevvX world, custody is no longer about holding, it’s about verifying.

Banks can evolve into regulated node operators:

  • Hosting nodes that verify and timestamp ownership directly on-chain

  • Providing institutional wallet infrastructure for clients

  • Automating fund accounting, repo operations, and collateral movements using CTS

Instead of spending hundreds of millions on reconciliation and settlement, banks could move assets instantly across accounts and jurisdictions.

J.P. Morgan’s Onyx or Citi’s DLT division could run parallel infrastructure atop DevvX to replace legacy SWIFT and CLS workflows — but with mathematical settlement guarantees rather than trust-based confirmations.

These banks are already publicly exploring blockchain solutions and heavily investing in them... they just have not met DevvX yet!

Asset Managers and Fund Administrators Can Offer Real-Time Portfolios

Example Names:

BlackRock, Vanguard, Fidelity, Franklin Templeton

The Opportunity:

Today’s fund industry operates on batched valuations and delayed settlement. NAVs (Net Asset Values) update daily, and investor subscriptions/redemptions can take days.

By issuing tokenized fund shares via DevvX:

  • Subscriptions and redemptions can settle instantly

  • Portfolios update in real time

  • Fund administrators gain immutable audit trails

  • Cross-border distribution becomes seamless

The next generation of ETFs and mutual funds could be CTS-native, offering real-time liquidity and transparency without intermediaries.

Imagine a BlackRock money market fund settling instantly with tokenized cash on DevvX — no transfer agents, no clearing delays, no missed cut-off times.

Payment Networks and Fintechs - The Bridge Between Money and Assets

Example Names:

Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Revolut, Circle, PayPal

The Opportunity:

Payment networks are optimized for consumer payments, not institutional settlement. But with tokenized fiat and digital asset interoperability, DevvX offers them a new role — bridging tokenized money with tokenized assets.

  • Visa and Mastercard could use CTS for atomic currency conversion and settlement between issuers.

  • Fintechs like Revolut or Circle could issue stable assets directly on DevvX and integrate them into instant securities settlement flows.

  • PayPal could settle e-commerce, remittances, and tokenized bonds in the same ledger environment.

This is the merging of payments and capital markets into one programmable layer — something no public blockchain has been able to achieve securely or deterministically.

Regulators and Central Banks - Real-Time Oversight and CBDC Integration

Example Names:

Bank of England, Federal Reserve, ECB, MAS, SEC, ESMA

The Opportunity:

Regulators today rely on after-the-fact reporting. In a DevvX-powered market, they could monitor risk, liquidity, and compliance as it happens.

DevvX’s deterministic architecture means:

  • Every transaction is validated, auditable, and immutable

  • Every asset movement can be permissioned and visible to regulators

  • Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) can settle trades natively within the same CTS flow

This is “RegTech at the base layer”. Compliance built into the ledger, not layered on top of it. As traditional finance has a way of solves issues with more layers of complexity... please stop!

For regulators, DevvX doesn’t mean loss of control. It means perfect control with zero latency.

Market Data and Infrastructure Providers

Example Names:

Bloomberg, Refinitiv (LSEG), FIS, Broadridge, SWIFT

The Opportunity:

Market infrastructure players thrive on data and messaging, but in a deterministic world, the data is the ledger.

  • Bloomberg and Refinitiv could evolve from data aggregators to live blockchain data providers.

  • Broadridge could rebuild its corporate-action and proxy systems directly atop DevvX’s CTS logic.

  • SWIFT, instead of carrying settlement messages, could reinvent itself as a secure messaging overlay for regulated node networks.

Each of these firms could pivot from intermediaries to connectors of real-time truth.

Governments and Public Infrastructure

Example Names:

World Bank, IMF, BIS Innovation Hub, OECD, national treasuries

The Opportunity:

DevvX’s deterministic architecture can underpin national issuance platforms with bonds, carbon credits, infrastructure projects, and social programs.

Instead of tracking billions in spending through fragmented systems, governments could operate on a single verified ledger, executing contingent disbursements with mathematical certainty and zero leakage.

From sovereign debt issuance to public finance transparency, this is infrastructure-grade trust, programmable and auditable at the source.

Why They Partner - Not If, But When!

The incentives are overwhelming:

  • Lower capital requirements (instant settlement = no collateral drag)

  • Reduced operational risk

  • Full regulatory visibility

  • Transparent and programmable compliance

  • Reduced costs from automation

In short, DevvX offers institutions what blockchains never could before: determinism, compliance, and scale.

For the first time, banks, exchanges, asset managers, and regulators can all operate on one source of truth — without sacrificing speed, control, or confidentiality.

What DevvX Replaces

DevvX doesn’t just improve the financial stack. It compresses it.

The Takeaway

Every major institution in global finance faces a simple choice: Adapt to determinism, or be replaced by it.

DevvX’s architecture doesn’t compete with the old financial system, it absorbs it, fully replaces it and capturing all the value! Imagine the combined volume, revenue and market cap of these useless intermediaries today... holy sh*t! By enabling compliant and mathematically instant settlement, DevvX allows traditional giants to rebuild their value on top of something that finally matches their scale and responsibility.

The future financial stack isn’t a patchwork of intermediaries. It’s one deterministic layer, governed by math, trust, and transparency.

And DevvX is the first blockchain built to make that layer real.
