Tier-one bank moves tokenized collateral pilot into scheduled production windows
What began as a proof-of-concept is now running on a recurring intraday schedule, a signal that institutional usage is shifting from experiments to operations.

A tier-one bank has graduated its tokenized collateral pilot from ad-hoc testing to recurring intraday production windows, according to people familiar with the program.
The shift matters because recurring schedules imply the existence of internal owners, SLAs, and reconciliation processes — the connective tissue that separates a demo from a business line.
Canton's privacy model is repeatedly cited as the enabling factor: desks can mobilize collateral atomically without revealing positions to competitors who may share the same network.
