DBS và Citibank hoàn tất giao dịch USD xuyên biên giới đầu tiên vào cuối tuần thông qua các khoản tiền gửi được token hóa

The Huoxing Finance report states that on September 5, DBS Bank of Singapore and Citibank’s New York branch completed the first weekend U.S. dollar payment between Singapore and the United States via Swift’s Digital Ledger, settling with tokenized deposits. DBS noted that the transaction took only minutes, whereas traditional cross-border U.S. dollar payments typically require up to two business days. This trial aims to overcome limitations of traditional banking hours, weekends, and time zones, enabling 24/7 cross-border fund transfers, with potential applications including cross-border e-commerce and digital services. Citibank joined Swift’s 24/7 cross-border payment pilot based on tokenized deposits in July this year and plans to participate in building the U.S. tokenized deposit network. DBS launched its blockchain-based banking system in 2024, including DBS Treasury Tokens for liquidity management.
