first_img IBM will connect Digital Asset Haven to the Swift shared ledger, supporting tokenized deposit transactions

IBM announced that customers of its digital asset management platform IBM Digital Asset Haven can now connect to permissioned blockchain networks, including the blockchain-based shared ledger from Swift. A new beta version of the ISO 20022 message adapter allows financial institutions to initiate tokenized deposit transactions through this ledger using standard payment messages. IBM stated that financial institutions participating in Swift-related programs have tested tokenized deposits on this ledger using Digital Asset Haven. The ledger supports tokenized deposits issued by banks, enabling participating IBM clients to transfer digital assets around the clock, with final settlement still completed through existing systems.Swift first announced this ledger at Sibos 2025, based on a prototype developed in collaboration with Consensys, with over 40 financial institutions involved in its design, 17 of which are participating in the tokenized deposit pilot. Swift currently connects over 12,500 financial institutions across more than 200 markets worldwide. The aforementioned message adapter allows banks to continue using existing payment message formats and operational processes without adopting blockchain-specific workflows.IBM is also expanding Digital Asset Haven to a localized deployment beta version, which can be installed on IBM Z and IBM LinuxONE in the client's own data center for managing digital assets such as stablecoins and tokenized deposits, without relying on public cloud infrastructure. IBM stated that the platform and key management layer are fully retained within the client's own environment, with keys protected by IBM Crypto Express hardware security modules.

first_img Aave Founder: Aave V4 defaults to risk isolation, securing 1.2 billion dollars in deposits

The founder and CEO of the decentralized lending protocol Aave, Stani Kulechov, responded to various statements regarding Aave V4. He stated that the Hub and Spoke of Aave V4 are by default isolated according to risk characteristics, allowing risk-adjusted markets to share liquidity within set limits through the Hub to support new use cases while avoiding unnecessary fragmentation of liquidity. He believes that completely isolating liquidity often splits funds, reduces utilization, and increases user costs, which becomes more apparent after the incentives used to guide liquidity end.Stani mentioned that in V4, Spoke represents the lending market, and the Hub can share liquidity between these markets, allowing isolated risk characteristics to utilize the capital pool, thereby improving utilization and capital efficiency. Unlike typical curation vaults that start with zero liquidity and require funds or incentives to guide them, V4 Spoke can rely on the entire Hub balance sheet from the first day of launch. He also stated that the V4 architecture is simpler and remains flexible, with the overall codebase significantly smaller than Aave V3.According to him, Aave V4 has secured $1.2 billion in deposits and is deployed across multiple networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Arc. V4 has supported third-party curators like EtherFi, allowing curators to build and manage complete market structures and participate in the economic distribution of a broader lending market, rather than just charging fees for managing deposit scales.

first_img After 11 years of operation, BitMEX has stopped trading and deposits, retaining only withdrawals

The cryptocurrency derivatives platform BitMEX has ceased trading, deposits, and opening new positions, retaining only the withdrawal function. The platform announced on social media platform X that as of this Tuesday at 04:00 UTC, the aforementioned services will no longer be available. Users can still log in and withdraw their balances through the official website, but deposits have been confirmed as impossible. BitMEX was co-founded by Arthur Hayes, Ben Delo, and Samuel Reed in 2014, known for promoting perpetual contracts as mainstream trading tools in the cryptocurrency derivatives market.BitMEX urges customers to withdraw their funds as soon as possible and states that account fees will be charged to users with completed KYC certification who still have a balance, billed monthly, at a standard of 1% annualized on assets or a minimum equivalent of $50, whichever is higher. The company emphasizes that this shutdown does not freeze customer assets, and the withdrawal channel remains open during the liquidation process.BitMEX announced its closure in July this year, following a strategic assessment by its parent company HDR Global Trading, as the exchange's market share in the perpetual contract market it helped create continued to decline. According to research data from CoinDesk, the monthly trading volume of centralized cryptocurrency exchange derivatives reached $3.4 trillion in August, with an annual scale potentially reaching $50 trillion. Previously, BitMart also announced its shutdown in July after nine years of operation due to market conditions.

first_img The six major banks in Canada jointly launched an interbank tokenized deposit program

The six major banks in Canada announced a joint exploration of a tokenized Canadian dollar deposit system, aimed at accelerating the transfer of funds between financial institutions and ultimately connecting with other digital asset programs. TD Bank announced on Tuesday that the Bank of Montreal, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, National Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, Scotiabank, and Toronto-Dominion Bank Group have jointly formed this joint venture project, with the possibility of more banks joining in the future.The first phase of the project will focus on promoting the transfer of tokenized deposits among participating banks. The parties stated in a joint statement that the first phase aims to enable efficient circulation of tokenized deposits among Canadian financial institutions, with the long-term goal of connecting with other emerging digital asset programs. Tokenized deposits are digital representations of funds and assets already held by banks, differing from independent stablecoins issued by crypto companies; this system allows for 24/7 programmable payments within a regulated banking system.Canada's move comes as global banks compete to put deposits on the blockchain. In the United States, regional banks are building a shared tokenized deposit network, while JPMorgan, Citigroup, and Wells Fargo have also launched their own institutional products. Recently, Swift has begun testing cross-border payments for tokenized deposits. Additionally, the Bank of Canada, Royal Bank of Canada, and Toronto-Dominion Bank completed the Project Samara test in March this year, issuing, trading, and settling CAD 100 million (approximately USD 71 million) bonds on a distributed ledger; in May, Shopify and National Bank of Canada also supported the launch of a regulated digital Canadian dollar.

first_img UK challenger bank Monument plans to tokenize £250 million in retail deposits

According to CoinDesk, while Wall Street giants like JPMorgan and Citi have processed huge amounts of money through blockchain, tokenized payment services are still primarily aimed at institutional clients and licensed networks. JPMorgan's Kinexys blockchain platform has processed over $3 trillion, and Citi Token Services handles billions of dollars in cross-border payments daily, neither of which is open to regular savings users.The UK challenger bank Monument Bank is attempting to fill this gap. The bank has a balance sheet size of approximately $2.4 billion and plans to tokenize up to £250 million (about $335 million) of retail customer deposits on the privacy public chain Midnight. These deposits will still earn interest, be fully backed by the bank, can be exchanged 1:1 for pounds, and are protected by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. The project utilizes zero-knowledge proofs to protect customer data and meet regulatory requirements, allowing users to engage without needing to understand or directly use cryptocurrencies.Mintoo Bhandari, founder of Monument Bank, stated that most tokenization projects are currently internal bank projects and have not yet truly allowed retail users to participate directly in tokenization. In the long term, the bank plans to offer fractional private equity, tokenized structured products, and Lombard loans to customers through regular banking applications under compliance, and is considering licensing related infrastructure to other banks through its subsidiary Monument Technology.
