Custodia Bank, in collaboration with Vantage Bank, successfully tokenized a U.S. bank's dollar demand deposits on a permissionless blockchain.
The issuance, transfer, and redemption of Avit stablecoins were carried out, showcasing the activation of a new U.S. dollar payment rail within the banking system.
Efficiencies observed during the test transactions included low transaction costs, fast settlement, programmability, and auditability in a regulated banking environment.
Both banks complied with U.S. banking regulations and worked closely with regulators to ensure the success of this first-of-its-kind project, highlighting the potential of permissionless blockchain technologies.
