Abaxx to Introduce MarketOS™ at FIA Global Cleared Markets Conference to Accelerate Velocity of $915 Billion of Collateral

TORONTO, March 04, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Abaxx Technologies Inc. (CBOE:ABXX)(OTCQX:ABXXF) (“Abaxx” or the “Company”), a financial software and market infrastructure company, indirect majority shareholder of Abaxx Singapore Pte Ltd. (“Abaxx Singapore”), the owner of Abaxx Commodity Exchange and Clearinghouse (individually, “Abaxx Exchange” and “Abaxx Clearing”), today announced it will introduce MarketOS™ at the Futures Industry Association’s (“FIA”) Global Cleared Markets Conference, March 8–11, to accelerate collateral mobility in cleared markets.

The FIA has identified the modernization of post-trade collateral movement as one of tokenization's most compelling use cases. Derivatives markets move billions in daily collateral transfers, yet much of it still settles on banking-hour timelines. Compressing settlement toward real-time could fundamentally reshape how collateral supports trading, clear the path to 24/7 markets, and lower structural margin requirements, with initial margin held at 10 of the leading clearinghouses totaling $915.7 billion at the end of 2024.¹

As BlackRock CEO Larry Fink noted in his 2025 annual letter, however, realizing that potential depends on solving one critical problem: identity verification. Next week, at the FIA conference, Abaxx will introduce MarketOS™, its technology for solving identity verification and accelerating the velocity of collateral.

MarketOS™ is Abaxx’s integrated transaction productivity suite: unifying identity verification, communication, documentation, and agreement workflows for institutional markets. Built on the ID++ protocol, it enables participants, institutions, and intelligent agents to act with verifiable authority, privacy, and legal enforceability embedded directly into transaction workflows.

Identity and enforceable ownership are established at execution, eliminating the need for post-trade verification that slows collateral movement in institutional markets. Supporting applications include Verifier+, Sign, Messenger, and Drive, operating on ID++, Abaxx’s proprietary identity protocol implementing W3C standards on decentralized identity, verifiable credentials and private data stores. 

The first use case for MarketOS™, Abaxx Digital Title, has already mobilized physical gold and money market fund shares as collateral through . By establishing cryptographically secured, transferable evidence of ownership with embedded identity, privacy, and legal finality, Digital Title converts commodities and securities into high-velocity, yield-bearing T+0 instruments, unlocking collateral value across $42 trillion in assets and supporting a more capital-efficient global trading system.²

Elements of MarketOS™ will first be introduced within Abaxx Exchange and Abaxx Clearing this year, subject to meeting all regulatory requirements, while the Digital Title pilot program expands to additional collateral use cases, including commodities in transit.

Abaxx will present MarketOS™ at the FIA Global Cleared Markets Conference in Boca Raton from March 8–11. Market participants evaluating collateral mobility and post-trade infrastructure may contact the Abaxx team at to arrange meetings during the conference.
