The Central Securities Depository (CSD) of the Czech Republic has become an associate member of the Czech Fintech Association (CEFTAS), the organisation announced.
The move follows the CSD’s recent launch of a record-keeping system based on distributed ledger technology (DLT). According to the CSD, the membership is intended to support cooperation with fintech firms and enable the exchange of knowledge, particularly in areas such as digital assets. “Cooperation between the capital market and the fintech sector is crucial for the modernisation and openness of financial markets,” said CEO Ondřej Dusílek.
CEFTAS brings together more than 80 members, including startups, established firms, banks, and investors. The association focuses on innovation in digital finance and aims to connect market participants while contributing to financial legislation and regulation in both the Czech Republic and the EU.
