This one has been in the works for over a year. Tokenization is not about bringing existing assets onchain anymore - that problem has already been solved by Ondo Stocks.
What's next is bringing asset management and wealth management onchain, starting with intelligent portfolios. People globally can invest in sophisticated portfolios, developed by Blackrock for Ondo, with a single click, and access products that were previously only available to the wealthy select few.
Over the next few months, expect Ondo to launch more intelligent portfolios that combine stocks, commodities, ETFs, and even prediction markets, to enable seamless and diversified investing. We are just getting started.
UK banks have completed the first live customer transactions using tokenised sterling deposits, and they ran on the #GBTD platform built by Quant.
Delivered through the Great British Tokenised Deposit initiative, convened by @UKFtweets with @Barclays, @HSBC_UK, @LloydsBank, @monzo, @Nationwide, @NatWestGroup and @santanderuk, the transactions included:
➡️ Two remortgage completions, with funds locked and released automatically at completion
➡️ A marketplace purchase from a private seller, with payment released only once the goods were exchanged
Payments that execute the moment agreed conditions are met give customers more control and can help reduce fraud. More pilots are expected in the coming months, including digital asset settlement.
We're proud to have built the shared infrastructure behind this milestone, alongside @UKFtweets, the participating banks, @EYnews and Linklaters.

JUST IN: Saudi Arabia’s $138 billion Riyad Bank partners with Ripple to explore digital assets
The collaboration will examine cross-border payments, digital asset custody and tokenization as the bank explores blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
@Linda36758099@real_shirelass Possibly, I really hope so and I’ve gone down this rabbit hole - either way there needs to be a shock event which will turns the tide but there is more pain coming, it has to be this way and they will cause maximum damage on the way out imo.
This week, @UKFtweets and @OliverWyman published a report 'Building Digital Markets of the Future,' setting out how the UK can build deep, liquid #tokenisedmarkets across the full lifecycle.
The report points to industry momentum: progress on the DIGIT sovereign debt instrument, growing engagement from the FCA and Bank of England, strong participation in the Digital Securities Sandbox, and innovations like the Great British Tokenised Deposit.
The message is clear and the foundations are in place, the priority now is turning that progress into execution.
This is exactly the space that Quant operates in, helping build the #settlement and orchestration infrastructure that lets #tokeniseddeposits and #digitalassets move efficiently and securely across the financial system. Reports like this reinforce why that work matters and why the UK has a genuine opportunity to lead.

@Nostre_damus@wmiddelkoop The important part is they are switching from long term to FED controlled short term debt so they can contain the interest rate.
British farmers are under immense pressure right now – and they need our full support.
This summer’s relentless heatwaves and drought have hit UK agriculture hard. Record temperatures and the driest July on record in England and Wales have left fields cracked and parched.
Harvests have come weeks early in many places, with cereal and oilseed yields looking set for one of the worst years since detailed records began in 1984.
Wheat, spring barley and oats are well down on the 10-year average – some farms reporting 15-50% lower yields – potentially costing arable producers hundreds of millions in lost revenue. Grass growth has stalled, milk production has dropped due to heat-stressed cows, and livestock are struggling in the extreme conditions. Root crops, fruit and potatoes are also at risk.
On top of that, the hot weather has fuelled a serious bluetongue outbreak. Cases of the virus (mainly BTV-3), spread by midges that thrive in these conditions, have climbed rapidly – hundreds confirmed across the UK, with the South West particularly hard hit. Sheep and cattle are suffering fever, swelling, lameness and worse; some farms have lost animals.
Farmers are being urged to stay vigilant, report symptoms and talk to their vets about vaccination.
It’s a perfect storm of extreme weather and disease, coming after previous tough seasons. Family farms are feeling the financial and emotional strain. These are the people who put food on our tables every day, often working around the clock in challenging conditions.
To every British farmer out there: we see you. We know how tough this is. Keep going – your resilience, skill and dedication keep this country fed. You’re not alone. The public is behind you, buying British where we can, and calling for the support you need to weather this. Hang in there. Better days and better seasons will come. We’ve got your back. 🇬🇧🌾

Today we go live on mainnet with the Fusion Rollup, the world's first multi-ledger rollup, connecting 74 blockchain networks in one unified environment, built for institutions.
When I started @quantnetwork in 2015, the vision was simple: make blockchain work for institutions at scale across any network, without the complexity and fragmentation that's held the industry back.
For years, institutions had two bad options: bet everything on a single chain, or stitch together insecure bridges across many. Fusion refuses that trade-off. It connects to many networks at once, moving assets, settling transactions, and messaging across chains as built-in capabilities, not workarounds.
The breakthrough is unified assets. A example of a stablecoin like USDC or tokenised fund like BUIDL or any other digital assetspread across 7 chains collapses into one: uUSDC or uBUIDL. One asset, one liquidity pool, instead of 7 copies and 7 fragmented pools. Each stays anchored to its origin chain and is withdrawable anytime. No custody or compliance trade-offs.
This isn't another layer 2 or a blockchain. It's a new category of infrastructure and it's live.

I’m delighted to announce that @quantnetwork and Murex are partnering to bring tokenised deposits and digital bond settlement into MX.3.
Institutions have been asking the same question. How do we move forward with tokenisation without disrupting the trading, risk and post-trade operations we depend on?
The answer is now inside the platform they already use.
Tokenised RWAs just crossed $100 billion. DTCC has SEC approval to tokenise real-world assets from mid-2026 and major UK banks are already working with Quant through the Great Britain Tokenised Deposit initiative - all of which signals that the market is moving.
Users in banks, asset managers, insurance companies, pension funds, hedge funds, corporations and energy utilities in over 65 countries now have a production-ready path into tokenisation through the systems they already run.
