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.

Midnight mainnet is coming.
On the #ConsensusHK stage, we shared that Midnight mainnet will officially go live before the end of March. This marks a major milestone and the beginning of a live, production network designed to support early applications built around selective disclosure and real-world privacy.
Mainnet is foundational. It provides a stable environment for builders to launch, test, and iterate, while setting the stage for rapid protocol and tooling expansion ahead.
Join the conversation LIVE as we unpack how to get started with Midnight mainnet and what to expect.

🔥HOSKINSON: “THERE’S A REASON I’M NOT IN THE EPSTEIN FILES.”
“There's a reason why when scandals seem to happen, my name doesn't seem to be mentioned in them.”
"It's because my default answer is no."
Hoskinson says he doesn’t care if that costs him money, influence, or an invitation to the White House — calling access a “poison chalice.”
“All you have at the end of the day is your integrity.”
