Why choose Institutional Deposit Tokens?

Frictionless Institutional Deposit Tokens work seamlessly and instantly across international markets, by leveraging next-generation tokenization infrastructure that’s more secure, far more efficient, lower cost, and more transparent than legacy rails, such as the correspondent banking network or SWIFT.

Instant Settlement

Transactions settle instantly via our audited tokenization technology, 365/24/7, error-free, enabling global markets to thrive.


The correspondent banking network can take several days to settle transactions and typically does not clear transactions on weekends or holidays introducing settlement risk.

Multi-Currency

Execute FX transactions in multiple currencies with transparent spot and forward rates from regulated FX partners.


Traditional FX providers often layer FX fees on transactions adding significant costs to transactions and requiring expensive currency sleeves.

Secure, Safe, Permissioned

Issued in Luxembourg  with key protections and compliance of Luxembourg & E.U. laws. Fully audited technology and fully reserved at G-SIB banks. Permissioned transactions provide safe KYT whilst benefiting from public blockchains


Corporate banks have varying degrees of credit risk whilst stablecoins are permissionless, opening institutional investors to hacking risk.

Zero Fee Transactions

Transactions executed by the frictionless protocol on behalf of institutional clients are fee-free. Institutional clients can execute their own transfers for a few cents regardless of the value of the transaction.


The SWIFT and traditional banking networks charge high fees for completing institutional-scale transactions.
