DBS and J.P. Morgan Collaborate on Cross-Bank Tokenized Deposits Framework

Singapore's DBS Bank and J.P. Morgan's blockchain platform Onyx are pioneering an interoperability framework for tokenized deposits, enabling seamless transfers across their respective blockchain networks. The initiative marks a significant step toward institutional adoption of blockchain-based settlement systems.

The proposed system WOULD allow a J.P. Morgan client to send tokenized deposits via Base blockchain to a DBS customer, who would receive equivalent value through DBS Token Services. This cross-platform solution combines the strengths of both public and permissioned blockchains, setting a new standard for interbank blockchain transactions.

Both institutions currently provide 24/7 liquidity and instant settlements within their proprietary ecosystems. The collaboration extends these capabilities across organizational boundaries, demonstrating how traditional finance can leverage blockchain technology without compromising operational efficiency.
