Tokenized Cash Equivalents

Definition

Tokenized cash equivalents are digital representations of highly liquid, short-term investments that are readily convertible to cash. These digital assets are built on blockchain technology and represent traditional financial instruments such as treasury bills or commercial paper, offering the stability of cash with the benefits of blockchain. They aim to provide efficient, programmable, and transparent methods for holding and transferring value within digital asset ecosystems. Their utility includes collateral in decentralized finance or as settlement assets.
