Deposit Token Standard is a set of technical specifications defining how tokens representing deposits in a financial institution or other entity are issued and managed on a blockchain. This standard ensures interoperability and consistent functionality for digital representations of real-world assets. It facilitates the use of traditional financial instruments within decentralized environments.
Context
The development of deposit token standards is a significant area of focus for banks and regulators exploring the tokenization of assets. These standards aim to provide a regulated and secure method for representing fiat currency or other deposits on distributed ledgers. News often covers pilot programs and regulatory proposals related to their implementation and integration into existing financial infrastructures.
Establishing a cross-chain deposit standard enables T+0 interbank settlement, unlocking significant liquidity and operational efficiency for the combined institutional client base.
The cross-chain framework links institutional deposit tokens on public and permissioned ledgers, eliminating silo friction to unlock real-time, 24/7 interbank liquidity management.
This pilot validates a systemic shift to T+0 settlement for bank liabilities, drastically compressing counterparty risk across the interbank payment layer.
