STO Global-X to adopt ‘STACS’ Protocol
Joint Launch
It was recently announced that Hashstac will be seeing their ‘Securities Trading Asset Classification Settlement’ protocol, aka ‘STACS’, adopted by STO Global-X.
Through this integration, STO Global-X will be able to expand their developing, all-in-one, platform to include clearing and settlement services – among other capabilities.
This partnership is beneficial to both companies, as Hashstacs strives for industry adoption of their STACS solution, while STO Global-X becomes better-rounded through increased capabilities.
