BNY and Citadel Securities have completed a transaction using tokenised US Treasuries, a tokenised Treasury collateral trade that CoinDesk reports shows how blockchain-based government bonds could move faster between settlement and financing. BNY, described as the world's largest custody bank, and trading firm Citadel Securities said the transaction was completed on Tuesday.
The aim was to show tokenised government bonds moving from settlement into financing, so firms could reuse collateral sooner.
Carolyn Weinberg, BNY's chief innovation and market transformation officer, said using a tokenised representation of a US Treasury across settlement and financing enables a more connected and always-on financial system.
What to watch: BNY aims to extend its traditional settlement hours for Federal Reserve-eligible securities and US triparty transactions to European and Asian trading hours next year.
