1. Overview of the Initiative on Cross-Border Remittances Using Tokenized Deposits
SBI Shinsei Bank has a large corporate client base. To deliver new value to both corporate and retail customers, the bank has initiated consideration of introducing DCJPY (a JPY-denominated tokenized deposit), while also exploring the handling of tokenized deposits in foreign currencies within this framework.
Partior already provides its digital money settlement platform to leading banks such as DBS, J.P. Morgan, Standard Chartered, and Deutsche Bank, with proven capabilities across multiple currencies, including USD, EUR, and SGD.
DeCurret DCP provides a tokenized deposit issuance platform for Japanese banks, enabling JPY-denominated deposit tokens.
Through this strategic partnership:
- SBI Shinsei Bank will begin concrete studies on issuing tokenized deposits not only in JPY but also in multiple currencies to meet the diverse needs of its customers.
- Partior will enhance its service offerings by adding the JPY to its portfolio of supported currencies, thereby improving both functionality and user convenience.
- DeCurret DCP will connect its JPY-denominated tokenized deposits to Partior’s international network, aiming to enable real-time cross-border settlement between JPY and other currencies, even within closed domestic chain environments.
The three companies will leverage their respective strengths to create a settlement environment that is transparent, rapid, and available 24/7.
2. Next Steps
The three companies will soon begin discussions to define detailed roles and responsibilities with the aim of concluding a formal business collaboration agreement at an early stage.
*１ DCJPY: A JPY-denominated tokenized deposit provided by DeCurret DCP.
*２ Tokenized Deposits: Conventional bank deposits enhanced through the use of blockchain and other technologies, often referred to as “deposit tokens,” with adoption expanding globally.
