Putting Bank Deposits to Work Onchain - Powered by Fireblocks
About this session
Standard Chartered has launched Tokenised Deposits for corporate clients in Hong Kong, with inter-bank settlement in central bank money on the HKMA’s EnsembleTX infrastructure. Corporate treasurers, banks, and digital asset businesses can now use commercial bank deposits in digital treasury and investment workflows, with real-time transfers between participating banks and 24/7 settlement. In this fireside chat, Mark Willis, Managing Director, Head of Emerging Payments at Standard Chartered, and Tim Way, Senior Director, Global Banking at Fireblocks discuss what it takes to bring regulated bank money onchain and how corporate clients are putting it to work. They also cover why connecting banks to the digital asset firms their clients already use matters for adoption, and how Fireblocks is working with Standard Chartered to give those clients native access to banking capabilities. Attendees will leave with a clear view of how tokenised deposits fit alongside existing treasury and liquidity operations.
