APPENDICES
Distributed ledger technology
Distributed ledgers use independent computers (referred to as nodes) to record, share and synchronise transactions in their respective electronic ledgers (instead of keeping data centralised as in a traditional ledger) (World Bank Group, 2018).
Final settlement
The irrevocable and unconditional transfer of an asset or financial instrument, or the discharge of an obligation by the financial market infrastructure or its participants in accordance with the terms of the underlying contract. Final settlement is a legally defined moment (CPMI- IOSCO, 2012).
Financial market infrastructure
A multilateral system among participating institutions, including the operator of the system, used for the purposes of clearing, settling or recording payments, securities, derivatives or other financial transactions (CPMI-IOSCO, 2012).
the recognised numbering authority for issuing ISINs for South Africa, as authorised by the Association of National Numbering Agencies (ANNA) (JSE, 2022).
International token identification number
The International Token Standardisation Association (ITSA) is developing and implementing an open market standard for the safe and secure identification of cryptographic tokens. An ITIN involves the assigning of a 9-digit alphanumeric identifier to all types of cryptographic tokens for an unambiguous identification, decreased operational risk and increased transparency (ITSA, 2021).
Native network
A native network is the network upon which a token is issued on and is inherent/native to. A non-native network is any other network or distributed ledger.
Netting
Netting is the offsetting of obligations
between or among participants in the netting arrangement, thereby reducing the number and value of payments or deliveries needed to settle a set of transactions (CPMI-IOSCO: 2012).
Pledge
The delivery of assets to secure the performance of an obligation by one party (the debtor or pledgor) vis-à-vis another (the secured party
or pledgee). For the secured party, a pledge creates a security interest in the assets delivered, while ownership of the assets remains with the debtor (however, in certain jurisdictions, irregular pledge arrangements include the transfer of ownership) (ECB, 2009; CPSS, 2003).
Real-time gross settlement
The real-time settlement of payments, transfer instructions or other obligations individually on a transaction-by-transaction basis (CPMI-IOSCO, 2012).
Gross settlement
The settlement of transfer instructions or other obligations individually on a transaction-by- transaction basis for full value (ECB, 2009).
Interoperability
The technical or legal compatibility that enables a system or mechanism to be used in conjunction with other systems or mechanisms. Interoperability allows participants in different systems to conduct clear and settle payments or financial transactions across systems without participating in multiple systems (ECB, 2009; CPSS, 2003).
International securities identification number
An ISIN is a 12-digit code that is used to uniquely identify a security’s issue (e.g. shares and bonds). This is currently the main method of securities identification worldwide. The JSE is
