The latest venture from a Wall Street behemoth seeking to go deeper into the use cases of blockchain adoption is Citi’s entry into the network. In an effort to improve trade execution and settlement efficiency, TradFi companies including T.

According to the news release, the bank’s proof-of-concept showed how smart contracts can allow for more automation as well as possibly improve compliance and controls for issuers and investors.

Nisha Surendran, emerging solutions head for Citi Digital Assets, stated, “We believe that by testing the tokenization of private assets, we are exploring the feasibility to open-up new operating models and create efficiencies for the broader market.”CRYPTOCASTER® - DECENTRALIZED FREEDOM!
