Tokenized Bank Deposits

Definition

Tokenized bank deposits represent traditional bank deposits issued as digital tokens on a blockchain. These tokens maintain a 1:1 peg to fiat currency held in a commercial bank account, combining the programmability of blockchain with the stability and regulatory oversight of traditional banking. They offer a potential mechanism for faster, more efficient interbank settlements and wholesale payments. Tokenized bank deposits could bridge the gap between conventional finance and decentralized ledger technology.
