Wall Street has moved trillions of dollars onto the blockchain, but retail users remain on the sidelines. Major banks are accelerating the tokenization of deposits and payments, yet most existing infrastructure still serves institutional clients and permissioned networks rather than individual consumers. JPMorgan reports that its blockchain platform, Kinexys, has processed over $3 trillion, while Citi Token Services is handling billions of dollars in cross-border payments daily. A new direction is emerging in the UK. Monument Bank plans to tokenize up to £250 million ($335 million) in retail interest-bearing deposits on the Midnight blockchain. These deposits remain bank-backed, are redeemable 1:1 for GBP, and utilize zero-knowledge proof technology to protect customer data. The long-term goal is to enable customers to access fractionalized private equity, tokenized structured products, and asset-backed loans directly through traditional banking apps—without needing to interact with or even understand crypto. This trend signals a shift from large institutions’ internal blockchain experiments toward bringing assets and deposits on-chain to mainstream users, while still maintaining privacy and compliance requirements.
