Banks and payment infrastructures have invested in new rails and standards. Yet #settlement still lags behind messaging.
Most #crossborderpayments settle sequentially: leg one, then leg two. In the gap between them, risk, cost, and failed settlement can creep in.
Synchronised settlement closes that gap. Both legs settle together, or neither does.
Live deployments across the UK, Europe, and Latin America show it’s already possible.

How does this impact $CELO holders?

Last month, UK #banks completed the first live customer transactions using tokenised sterling deposits.
🏠 Remortgaging: funds were locked in advance and released automatically at completion
🛒 Buying from a private seller: payment was released only once the goods were exchanged
In both cases, money moved the moment the agreed conditions were met, giving customers more control and helping reduce fraud.
These transactions ran on the #GBTD platform built by Quant, as part of the Great British Tokenised Deposit initiative convened by @UKFtweets with seven UK banks:

The UK's first digitally native government bond just moved closer to market.
@hmtreasury has appointed six Joint Lead Managers for #DIGIT, the Digital Gilt Instrument pilot, with issuance expected by Q1 2027. It will test #DLT across the issuance and lifecycle of a gilt, with on-chain settlement in the Digital Securities Sandbox.
A #digitalbond is only half the picture. For digital markets to work at scale, the securities leg and the cash leg need to settle together, often across different ledgers and systems.
Quant's infrastructure connects #tokeniseddeposits, #tokenisedassets and existing RTGS and payment systems, so that #settlement is synchronised across them.

2. Corporate transaction banking
3. Cross-border intra- and inter-bank flows
