Summary

SBI Shinsei Bank has partnered with Singapore’s Partior and Japan’s DeCurret DCP to explore multicurrency tokenized deposits for international transactions. The three firms signed a Memorandum of Understanding to create a blockchain-based settlement framework supporting real-time clearing across multiple currencies. DeCurret will link its DCJPY platform, which issues yen-denominated tokenized deposits, with Partior’s infrastructure, which already supports U.S. dollars, euros, and Singapore dollars. SBI Shinsei will lead issuance efforts to expand beyond yen, while Partior will integrate yen support. The collaboration seeks to provide 24/7 settlement as an alternative to traditional correspondent banking, aiming to cut settlement times and costs.

Terms & Concepts
  • Tokenized Deposits: Digital representations of bank deposits on a blockchain, enabling faster and more secure transactions.
  • DCJPY: A Japanese yen-denominated tokenized deposit platform operated by DeCurret DCP for digital settlement.
  • Correspondent Banking: A traditional system where one bank holds accounts for another to facilitate cross-border payments, often leading to higher costs and delays.
