Midnight 🤝 Monument Bank

Monument is set to become the first UK-regulated bank to tokenize retail customer deposits on a public blockchain — representing interest-bearing savings as digital tokens while remaining fully backed, redeemable in GBP, and protected under existing regulatory frameworks.

Built on Midnight’s privacy-enhancing blockchain infrastructure, this approach ensures that transaction data remains shielded and accessible only to authorized participants — enabling the use of blockchain technology while maintaining the confidentiality and compliance required in regulated financial services.

The initiative begins with a target of £250 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 — capabilities historically reserved for institutional and private banking clients.

Together, this partnership demonstrates how regulated financial institutions can bring traditional financial products on-chain — unlocking a more flexible, accessible, and programmable financial system without compromising privacy or regulatory standards.

He denunciado a Gustavo Petro ante la Corte Penal Internacional por instigación a crímenes de lesa humanidad y genocidio.

Colombia no puede normalizar la persecución política ni la violencia como herramientas de poder.

At the opening of the IOG office in Buenos Aires, @IOHK_Charles said:

“It doesn't matter if you are @Bitcoin, @ethereum, or @solana. This is the home of the entire blockchain community.”

Three months after that historic day, tomorrow we will have a panel with distinguished representatives of those blockchains + @cardano in the context of @midnightntwrk's first exclusive hackathon in LATAM. See you there 🫡

El precandidato presidencial Abelardo De La Espriella (@ABDELAESPRIELLA) presentó un derecho de petición a la Mesa Directiva del Senado en la que solicita que desde la rama legislativa se pida realizar un informe médico al presidente @PetroGustavo, tras los cuestionamientos que surgieron sobre su estado en la pasada alocución presidencial.

Asegura el precandidato que “si lo amerita” se debería “iniciar el trámite de declaratoria del estado de incapacidad física temporal o permanente al presidente”.
