A Tokenized Deposit Service involves converting traditional bank deposits into digital tokens that operate on a blockchain or distributed ledger. These tokens represent a claim on an underlying deposit held at a regulated financial institution. This service aims to combine the programmability and efficiency of blockchain with the stability and regulatory oversight of conventional banking. It offers a new mechanism for digital value transfer.
