Different Use Cases, One Feed
The xStocks Corporate Actions Data Feed is a standardised, event-driven CF Benchmarks product that gives market participants a dependable operational view of xStocks corporate actions.
It shows what is coming, when it becomes effective, and which economic details matter for downstream workflows, turning corporate action complexity into standardised, action-ready guidance.
Why it matters
Complexities of xStocks Corporate Action Handling
In xStocks, the same corporate action does not have the same impact on every downstream product. How it should be handled depends on the use case and on the moment the event becomes live, which turns corporate actions from simple reference data into a real operational challenge.
Corporate actions sit inside market mechanics
In xStocks, events can affect positions, cashflows, or product state, so corporate actions sit inside the market mechanics rather than beside them.
One event can matter differently by use case
Perpetuals, options, lending, collateral, and treasury workflows may all look at the same corporate action through a different operational lens.
Confidence matters at the event boundary
Consumers need advance notice, a clear live state, and dependable timing so internal workflows stay aligned when an event becomes actionable.
Applications
Use Cases
Perpetuals and derivatives
Synthetic Price Return products that must stay anchored to xStocks spot pricing through corporate action events.
Collateral and lending
Venues holding xStocks directly, where collateral behaves like Total Return and risk state must stay aligned.
Options and structured products
Contracts that must preserve economic continuity across strikes, contract size, and settlement terms.
Treasury, valuation, and operations
Versioned history and active-record logic for valuation, reconciliation, reporting, and auditability.
Lifecycle
Pending vs. Effective
Every event moves through a clear lifecycle so consumers can prepare before it matters and align once it becomes operationally live.
Pending
Advance visibility into an upcoming event so teams can assess impact and prepare internal processes before the market change is live.
Effective
The point at which the event is live and the relevant economic information is confirmed for downstream alignment.
If event details change, updated versions create a clear audit trail so consumers can see what changed and when, rather than relying on silent edits.
Technical details
What a Feed Record Gives You
Each feed entry is a self-contained operational record. Consumers can see the category and type, the lifecycle stage, the authoritative Effective Time, the current version and status, and the normalised fields relevant to that event. The interpretation complexity stays inside the product, while the example below gives a glimpse of how that surface becomes actionable for a downstream market.
Record surface
Every record exposes the operational signals downstream systems need to monitor, prepare, and act.
Category and type
A normalised view of the event, from the broad economic category down to the specific corporate action type.
Stage and timing
Pending or Effective, together with the authoritative Effective Time, so consumers know when an event becomes live.
Relevant action fields
Only the fields relevant to that event, rather than a raw issuer notice that each consumer must interpret for itself.
Version and status
A clear record of whether an event is new, updated, or no longer active.
Mock record
Summarised illustrative schema view. Not every field is populated for every event.
Example: spin-off
A spin-off can be categorised as a Cashflow event. Its value is translated into a normalised cashflow amount, which a perpetual market can use as the corporate-action funding input needed to keep the contract economically aligned through the event. That is the kind of action-ready bridge the feed creates between issuer events and downstream market handling.
