Bank of New York Mellon (BNY) and Citadel Securities have completed a tri-party repo transaction using tokenized U.S. Treasury bonds. Citadel Securities purchased a 2-year U.S. Treasury bond via BNY on Tradeweb; the bank recorded the tokenized version of the bond on its private digital ledger and settled the trade in minutes, rather than the traditional T+1 settlement cycle. Citadel then used the tokenized Treasury bond as collateral in an overnight tri-party repo to secure cash from BNY. BNY said this marks the first time tokenized assets have been used on a major tri-party repo platform. Carolyn Weinberg, BNY’s head of bank innovation and market transformation, noted that using tokenized representations of U.S. Treasuries for both settlement and financing will help build a more connected, efficient, and 24/7 operational financial system. The bank also plans to add digital cash and tokenized deposit capabilities for institutional settlement and financing, and aims to extend its related settlement platform’s operating hours to cover European and Asian trading sessions next year.
