The Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) announced London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) as the winner of its Global vLEI Hackathon in the Digital Asset and Financial Infrastructures category, highlighting use cases for the Legal Entity Identifier (LEI) and verifiable LEI (vLEI) to support automated compliance, real-time auditability and trusted digital transactions. LSEG’s winning solution was selected from 110 global submissions. Clearstream was named runner-up for applying the vLEI as a secure login standard for its ClearstreamXact platform, positioning organizational digital identity as a way to streamline access and improve operational efficiency. The Hackathon, hosted during Chainlink’s SmartCon in New York, framed the vLEI as enabling organizations to prove identity and authority instantly and embed trust and transparency directly into digital ecosystems.
