πŸš€ Citi and DTCC Advance Tokenized Collateral Amid Regulatory Challenges

According to PANews, financial giants Citi and DTCC have revealed at the SmartCon event in New York that their cross-asset, cross-border 'Tokenized Collateral' is now operational in real-world transactions.

DTCC's 'Great Collateral Experiment' has validated the use of tokenized U.S. Treasuries, stocks, and money market funds as collateral across time zones. The parties involved emphasized the need for unified laws and standards, with institutions like SWIFT participating in the development of shared protocols to avoid fragmentation and compliance conflicts.

πŸš€ SWIFT to Introduce Global Payments Scheme by 2026

SWIFT has announced plans to implement a new global payments scheme by 2026, designed to enhance the speed and predictability of cross-border transactions for consumers and small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). According to NS3.AI, the initiative will focus on improving transparency and fee disclosure, aiming to make international payments as seamless as domestic transfers.

The organization is integrating a blockchain-based ledger to enhance payment tracking capabilities. However, SWIFT will maintain its existing correspondent banking settlement system and will not be adopting cryptocurrencies such as XRP. Ripple's blockchain-powered liquidity-saving solutions continue to be relevant in certain areas where SWIFT's model does not address pre-funding capital inefficiencies.
