Recently it was announced that Spanish National Security Market Commission (CNMV) and several financial institutions, including BNP Paribas, Commerzbank, Banco Santander, Caixa Bank, during the entire previous year have been collaborating on a blockchain project called Fast Track Listing (FLT), which is based on distributed ledger technology.

The main purpose of the collaboration is to make the process easier and reduce the time needed to register issuances of warrants. The project includes the completion of a proof-of-concept test, which consists of the registration of an issuance of warrants.

The beta test showed that the process of issuance can be performed within 48 hours, compared to an average period of more than a week. In other words, it became possible to reduce the time required by more than 70%.

It has already been proven many times that usage of blockchain technologies makes it possible to improve efficiency and save resources for this type of processes. Distributed ledged technology may also increase the security and traceability of routine processes.
