UK banks make first interbank transactions using tokenised deposits

Britain's biggest banks have ​completed the world's first transactions using tokenised deposits to move money between themselves, a boost for ‌a blockchain-based version of commercial bank money that proponents say offers a safer alternative to stablecoins.

  • UK banks have successfully conducted the first interbank transactions using tokenized deposits, a blockchain-based alternative to commercial bank money.
  • These trials, part of the 'Great British Tokenised Deposit' project, demonstrated potential for cheaper, more efficient transactions and reduced fraud risks through programmable deposits.
  • The initiative aims to establish a framework for full production, with plans for digital bond issuance and international interest in replicating the model.
