Global Banks Pilot Tokenised Settlement on Shared Ledger
A consortium of global banks has launched a pilot to test tokenised settlement of selected transactions using a shared distributed ledger. The objective is to evaluate whether tokenisation can enable faster settlement, lower operational overhead, and smoother cross-border payments compared with traditional systems. Participants stress that the project is an early-stage experiment focused on learning, not a commercial product launch.
