admin@vtoollab.com (vtoollab) — Mon, 24 Aug 2026 16:00:00 +0800

China’s securities fund custody has undergone two leaps: the first (2004-2008) introduced bank-based third-party custody, completely eliminating broker misappropriation of client deposits; the second (2018-present) piloted and expanded the broker settlement model, upgrading from ‘retail protection’ to ‘institutional efficiency’. Together, these two leaps have shaped the new landscape of China’s securities fund custody.

The Grand Centralized Counter used the Oracle RAC architecture to consolidate client, fund, and holding data from branches nationwide to headquarters, eliminating the ‘client locked in a single branch’ model and laying the foundation for over a decade of securities trading. However, its deep reliance on the ‘IOE’ architecture foreshadowed the Xinchuang substitution wave after 2020.

From KCBP to KOCA-LDP: The 30-Year Evolution of Kingdom Technology's Middleware

admin@vtoollab.com (vtoollab) — Sun, 23 Aug 2026 10:00:00 +0800

📌 Core Argument: The evolution of Kingdom Technology’s middleware is essentially an industrial history of China’s securities trading systems transitioning from “branch-level” to “enterprise-level”, from “centralized trading” to “distributed low-latency ultra-fast trading”, and from “IOE dependency” to “full-stack IT Application Innovation (Xinchuang)”.

This main thread can be clearly divided into five stages: the introduction of self-developed middleware into securities trading systems around 1998 → KCBP/KCXP becoming the cornerstone of domestic financial middleware in 2003 → the initiation of the 5th-generation core trading and settlement technology platform in 2017 → the release of the KOCA cloud-native platform in 2019 → and the iteration of the KOCA-LDP distributed low-latency platform to V2.0 in 2023.

Every leap in each stage was not an isolated technical upgrade, but the result of the combined effects of brokers’ business demands, regulatory environments, hardware computing power, and the Xinchuang (IT Application Innovation) strategy. Understanding this evolutionary path means understanding the complete trajectory of China’s FinTech self-reliance and controllability over the past 30 years.
