💣 BREAKING: Citi says global collateral markets are being fundamentally rebuilt around tokenized assets and 24/7 settlement.
In a new report released today, Citi says 77% of firms expect to use tokenized collateral in 2026, while 5% of repo turnover is already being traded in tokenized form.
The bank highlights:
• DTCC tokenized U.S. Treasuries launching in October 2026
• Citi Token Services already processing billions in 24/7 institutional transactions
• Franklin Templeton, BlackRock, Fidelity and WisdomTree expanding tokenized money market funds
• SIX bringing pre-IPO securities onto regulated blockchain infrastructure
• CCPs moving toward 24/7 liquidity and margining
• The Clearing House building interoperable tokenized deposits across major banks
Citi says the average G-SIB posts $74B in collateral every day, while legacy settlement constraints leave roughly 25% of collateral idle.
Tokenization is moving from isolated pilots into the infrastructure of global capital markets.

Scaling #tokenisation depends on moving cash and asset together.
Our new paper with Murex shows how #programmablesettlement synchronises cash and asset movement within existing workflows.

A ledger records what moved. It rarely records why. That gap is where banks will earn on #tokeniseddeposits.
Our new whitepaper 'Above the Ledger' by our Chief Commercial Officer, Lenna Russ, shows how banks can commercialise them.

Who is Gilbert Verdian, the man behind Quant?
Gilbert Verdian (@gverdian) spent more than 20 years in cybersecurity as a CISO, CIO, and CTO. His resume spans Downing Street, HM Treasury, and the Cabinet Office, as well as Mastercard and HSBC.
In 2015, he started the push for TC307, ISO's committee for blockchain standards, and has led its working group on interoperability.
He founded @quantnetwork, the firm behind $QNT, in 2018 after serving as security chief at Vocalink, which runs the UK's Faster Payments system.
This week, The Clearing House (@TCHtweets) picked Quant to power its On-Chain Money Initiative, a tokenized deposit network for US banks. Banks and other financial institutions can start using it in the first half of 2027.
Money is entering a new era, and this week the UK proved it with real customer money.
UK banks and @UKFtweets have completed the first live customer transactions using tokenised sterling deposits on #GBTD, the platform built by @quantnetwork. Two remortgages and a marketplace purchase, each settling automatically the moment agreed conditions were met.
This is the move from simple push/pull transfers to #programmablepayments. Same trusted bank money, same protections, now able to carry its own rules.
And it happened on shared infrastructure, with #tokeniseddeposits moving between institutions on a common platform built for the whole industry.
This is where money is headed: programmable, always-on and moving seamlessly across the financial system.

Quant secures a key role in US bank payments
The Clearing House (@TCHtweets) has selected @quantnetwork to power its On-Chain Money Initiative, a network where banks will clear and settle tokenized deposits. Quant's tech will also connect it to the RTP and CHIPS systems that banks use today.
Tokenized deposits work like normal bank deposits, with the same protections, but move on a blockchain. It is expected to open to participating banks in the first half of 2027.
🚨A HUGE DAY FOR QUANT: $QNT is partnering with The Clearing House to bring programmable, tokenised bank money to the U.S!
A second HUGE announcement today, @quantnetwork will provide the infrastructure allowing tokenised deposits to move between regulated banks.
Quant is positioning itself at the heart of the future financial system. 🔥

🌐Linux Foundation's Hyperledger Cacti's built around SATP compliance for years
We've seen alignment to $QNT via API Gateways
Cacti = Linux Foundation's DLT Interoperability Tool
We get a few interesting SATP update points
• LF directly contributing to IETF SATP
• Confirmation SATP is advancing in IETF
• Cacti next goal to expand on SATP deployment
It seems the consensus around enterprises now is finding a STANDARDIZED interoperability solution
