He also says he plans to digitize the repo market, the daily turnover of which usually exceeds $1 trillion in the first place.

According to McDermott, currently there are many outdated processes that lead to an increase in the cost of operations, and their standardization on the blockchain will increase the efficiency of the entire system.

Moreover, McDermott wants to integrate the distributed ledger technology into the credit and mortgage markets, and hinted at the possibility of cooperation in this direction with JPMorgan.
