DBS Leverages Ethereum for Tokenized Structured Notes—But Keeps Trading Under Wraps
DBS Leverages Ethereum for Tokenized Structured Notes—But Keeps Trading Under Wraps
17
1
DBS just plugged into Ethereum to tokenize structured notes—then locked the trading behind institutional gates.
Why It Matters
The move signals growing bank-level confidence in blockchain infrastructure—even if end investors can’t touch the tokens directly. DBS isn’t just dipping a toe; it’s building the pool before letting anyone swim.
The Catch
Trading stays restricted to accredited players. Retail gets the brochure, not the keys. Classic finance—innovating boldly, then putting up velvet ropes.
Bottom Line
Banks love blockchain efficiency—just not enough to skip the gatekeeping. Maybe next they’ll tokenize the waiting list.
