DBS Bank has teamed up with Ant International to introduce a new blockchain-driven treasury and liquidity management system.
Announced on August 13, the DBS Treasury Tokens will be utilized by Ant International for real-time, multi-currency financial management.
These tokens will operate on DBS Bank’s private blockchain, which is designed for secure and controlled access. This blockchain integrates with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and DBS’s core payment systems, enhancing compatibility with various payment networks.
Ant International’s treasury management platform, Whale, will leverage these tokens for seamless liquidity management, benefiting from the bank’s blockchain’s extensibility and interoperability. Whale also incorporates AI and encryption to boost the efficiency of fund transfers.
The DBS Treasury Tokens project builds on insights gained from the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s (MAS) Project Orchid and Project Guardian, which explore the potential of tokenization.
DBS Bank’s global transaction services head, Lim Soon Chong, emphasized that this initiative addresses the growing need for scalable liquidity management in the e-commerce and on-demand sectors.
