Midnight ๐ค Monument Bank
Monument is set to become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain โ representing interest-bearing savings as digital tokens while remaining fully backed, redeemable in GBP, and protected under existing regulatory frameworks.
Built on Midnightโs privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, this approach ensures that transaction data remains shielded and accessible only to authorized participants โ enabling the use of blockchain technology while maintaining the confidentiality and compliance required in regulated financial services.
The initiative begins with a target of ยฃ250 million in tokenized deposits and represents the first phase in a broader rollout to expand access to tokenized financial products. Over time, this includes enabling exposure to asset classes such as private equity and structured products, and introducing more flexible lending models โ capabilities historically reserved for institutional and private banking clients.
Together, this partnership demonstrates how regulated financial institutions can bring traditional financial products on-chain โ unlocking a more flexible, accessible, and programmable financial system without compromising privacy or regulatory standards.
