London and Luxembourg, 15 January 2024 – Montis Group today announced the Founding Members of its Advisory Council, in response to the rapid pace of digital transformation across global financial markets.

The Advisory Council comprises industry leaders and opinion formers who are perfectly placed to provide strategic advice, guidance, and expertise to the Montis leadership and management, as well as exchange views on legal, technical (DLT), tokenisation and related infrastructure matters.

Martin Watkins, CEO at Montis Group , comments:
“With our regulation in Luxembourg expected to be received in the first half of this year and the technology build in final testing, we are preparing to launch our digital CSD. Consequently, now is the right time to put in place our Advisory Council to help steer the business over the next phase of evolution as we go live and start to establish our place in the post-trade ecosystem. Montis’s revolutionary blockchain-agnostic solution will be at the heart of the new digitally-native financial markets infrastructure (“dFMI”), and the experience of these council members, working closely with myself, our chairman, David Lester, and our leadership team will mean we can leverage our innovation and firmly establish ourselves in the space.”
