The former New York governor will chair a new effort aimed at tokenizing financial products on chain and bringing 24/7 digital trading to NYSE-listed assets.

The DTCC is building out a blockchain-based platform for post-trade processing and custody; if it works, it will mean a significant rewiring of the markets.

Tokenization of assets is going to transform global finance, but by dragging their heels on establishing clear rules of the road, U.S. regulators could be pushing the development of key infrastructure overseas.

The blockchain fintech acquired the real estate lender through a joint venture to tokenize housing loans and test its new AI-powered onboarding agent.

Citi, DTCC and others are quietly using Hyperledger Besu as a neutral, enterprise-grade blockchain for tokenized deposits and collateral. Daniela Barbosa, general manager of decentralized technologies at the Linux Foundation, explains why.

Regulators must move toward a more workable model that regulates the intermediaries that custody and control assets, not the underlying software. This would actually be the smarter choice, as blockchains provide transparency and thus better compliance than in traditional banking.

Financial institutions, regulators, and developers are aligning around a common goal of creating infrastructure that makes our global financial system faster, more efficient, and more secure.

The credit card giant's BVNK acquisition wasn't a bet on crypto hype. It was a hedge against irrelevance. It suggests that the companies that defined the last era of finance are now preparing for a very different future.

Banks are more active in the digital asset option than stablecoins. Those involved say the appeal is the similarity to traditional banking, only faster and more digital.

Most banks are likely not large enough to not support stablecoins and tokenized deposits on their own, creating a new way for legacy IT firms to compete with fintechs.

Banks' core ledger systems are a sclerotic holdover from the past. The future belongs to the banks that set them aside and allow transactions to close in real time.

American Banker data finds that a majority of executives investing in technology expect payments enhancements in the immediate future as well as further out.

JPMorganChase, Citi, Bank of America and Anchorage Digital are among the banks that are using or planning to work with the Solana distributed ledger and network. Solana Policy Institute CEO Miller Whitehouse-Levine explains how it works.

Unionization efforts at several Wells Fargo locations go in reverse, while the buzzy blockchain stuff overshadows the plain fact that customers want products that help them rather than gee-whiz technology.

JPMorganChase, Invesco and other digital asset leaders are increasingly open to working with public blockchains like Solana as well as private, permissioned ledgers like Ethereum layer 2s.

Trading bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies is fine, but it's a sideshow: Blockchain is the underlying innovation that has the potential to change the way markets operate.

Participate, a loan participation network, has agreed to use tokenized dollars issued by Custodia Bank and Vantage Bank.

Brett Tejpaul, co-CEO of Coinbase Institutional, discussed how the crypto exchange plans to bring its trading infrastructure to more financial institutions.

The SEC appears to be serious about moving from quarterly reporting to semiannual, but what if technology could provide a path in the other direction?
