Last night at Mansion House, the Chancellor gave a strong update on #UKfintech: GBTD moving to live transactions, the UK's stablecoin regime, agentic payment tools, and plans for the UK to become the first G7 country to issue a Digital Sovereign Bond.
#GBTD moving from concept to live transactions is a strong signal that #tokeniseddeposits are becoming an operational reality, and that interoperability between traditional and tokenised infrastructure is now a policy priority. That's the gap we've built our platform to close.

Where should the fiat sit that backs a tokenised deposit? And which ledger is the source of truth?
Our new joint point of view with @Capgemini, drawing on our work building #GBTD's infrastructure, breaks down the mirror vs. omnibus account models and what it takes to get from strategy to production.

🏦The UK Gov recently dropped a new report on Wholesale Digital Markets to the Chancellor
And $QNT fingerprints are all over it💥
Three things stood out to me immediately
• GBTD titled "exceptionally important to the UK"
• ISO TC 307 cited as a key standards body
• APIs & API standards as a top priority
• Project Agora referenced
Now here's why each of those matters
Let's start with GBTD
The report's exact words:
"Commercial banks are developing tokenized deposits through the GBTD. This latter initiative is exceptionally important to the UK."
Exceptionally important.
That's the UK Government's own language in a report to the Chancellor
And who orchestrates the strings behind GBTD?
Quant Network's Overledger paired with Payscript.
Then there's the recommendation itself
"Continue to build GBTD at scale."
Not explore it. Not pilot it.
Scale it.
The UK Government is telling the Chancellor to scale the infrastructure Quant is building
But that's far from all...
GBTD is already in the Bank of England's Sync Lab
It integrates with RTGS, Faster Payments & Open Banking under an ISO 20022 compliant scheme.
And if that wasn't enough...
There's clear mentions of ISO TC 307 here under the UK's existing standards initiative.
And the mentions of API standards for interoperability is just the cherry on top, referencing IETF SATP.
Both obviously being standards founded within the Quant Network leadership.
While retail continues watching price,
The UK Gov just told the Chancellor the infrastructure Quant powers is "exceptionally important" to the country.

THAT is the difference between retail crypto & real Enterprise DLT developments.
Quant Network just joined the x402 Foundation as a General Member. ethereum:0x4a220e6096b25eadb88358cb44068a3248254675
The same table as Visa, Mastercard, Stripe, Coinbase, and American Express...
The open standard being built for agentic payments on the internet.
ethereum:0x4a220e6096b25eadb88358cb44068a3248254675 has been building institutional interoperability since 2018.
x402 is the infrastructure that kind of work connects into.
Hedera is aware of the incident affecting Bonzo Lend, an independently operated DeFi application built on Hedera. Based on the findings to date, Hedera’s consensus mechanism and core network services were not compromised, and mainnet remained operational. Bonzo’s preliminary report points to an issue involving a third-party oracle verifier.

Recently $HBAR was included in an ISDA & GDF study for tokenized money market funds
Other participants included:
• BlackRock
• BitGo
• BNY
• CME
• SWIFT
• JP Morgan
• Archax
Both TradFi & Web3 Finance leaders.
And the DLTs selected?
Ethereum & Hedera Hashgraph
This is quite an eye opening list.
As we've known, Ethereum has been tested across various institutional use cases due to their long standing of being a leading L1.
But Hedera, has moreso been reserved for specific cases in finance by specific TradFi players.
Quite interesting to see they're the ONLY other DLT leveraged in here.
But also remember, Hedera has already proven viable utility for tokenized MMFs at the institutional level.
Just a few months back we saw Hedera in the UK x EU tokenized collateral trial by Global Digital Finance too.
Now Hedera's becoming a preferred choice here🔑
AI agents are already making transactions, executing trades, and settling obligations autonomously and at machine speed. That infrastructure needs to be fit for purpose.
Quant has joined the x402 Foundation, hosted by the @linuxfoundation, connecting internet-native payment protocols to the regulated banking rails that underpin the real economy. Our Fusion multi-ledger rollup already supports x402 out of the box, across 70+ networks.
Interoperability between decentralised and institutional finance is what we're building.

(1/5) Keeta now supports x402.
x402 is an open, HTTP-native payment standard built around the 402 Payment Required status code by @CoinbaseDev. It lets any API or endpoint charge for access, per request, per token, or per call, without accounts, API keys, or subscription billing.
Below is a breakdown of how it works on Keeta.
AI agents are increasingly making transactions, executing trades, and settling obligations autonomously and at machine speed. The infrastructure behind these payments needs to be fit for purpose.
Banks authorise transactions and provide safeguards to our money. Agentic AI transactions should be no different, operating within the secure guardrails of bank security and protection.
That's why @quantnetwork has joined the x402 Foundation, hosted by The Linux Foundation.
Our @FusionLayer25 multi-ledger rollup is x402-ready today, across 70+ networks.
Interoperability between decentralised and institutional finance is what we're building.

What Ondo started, the industry followed.
Robinhood, Binance, Bitget, Coinbase and Kraken all launched tokenized stocks, replicating the same Just-In-Time liquidity model that Ondo pioneered to bring traditional exchange liquidity onchain. For many of these, Ondo's assets remain their most popular tokenized stocks.
A few things are now clear:
1. The market has fully embraced the wrapper model.
2. Ondo has set the industry standard for how liquidity comes onchain.
3. Despite these entries, Ondo's tokenized stocks are the preferred best in class option, commanding ~60% market share of the category (more than all others combined)
Imitation is the ultimate sign of Product Market Fit. While others play catch up to where we started, we're already building what's next. Ondo will continue to raise the bar for the industry, and I'm very excited to share soon what comes next.
Binance Research: "2026 marks RWA tokenization's maturation from a treasury-dominated narrative into a diversified yield ecosystem."
The boring sector just got interesting.
$ONDO. $CFG. $LINK. $XDC. $QNT.
Altseason 2026 isn't for everyone. It's for the narratives that survived the bear.
And for those who positioned early.
Real 24/7 trading for tokenized stocks is here.
In a landmark first for the industry, the most popular Ondo tokenized stocks and ETFs can now be minted & redeemed anytime.
While others have claimed 24/7 trading, this has only ever been for CEX or DEX transfers, with actual minting and redemption limited to traditional market hours. Now, tokenized stocks are truly trading 24/7:
✅ Overnight
✅ Weekends
✅ Public holidays
The first wave of 24/7 assets are SPYon, QQQon, CRCLon, NVDAon, TSLAon, and GOOGLon, with more to follow.
This builds on existing 24/7 permissionless transfers of Ondo tokenized stocks, moving the industry another step closer to the always-on onchain markets that will define the future of global finance.

Today, our CEO, @gverdian, joined a panel at the @UKFtweets#DigitalInnovationSummit on tokenisation and GBTD alongside representatives from @Barclays, @LloydsBank and @NatWestGroup.
"This is the world's first tokenised deposit payment system built for industry, by industry - an essential orchestration layer that gives every participant the ability to innovate, differentiate and compete."
Full insights coming soon.
