Citibank Tests Tokenized Securities on Avalanche, Eyes Blockchain Expansion

February 15th, 2024
Citibank has embarked on a pioneering initiative, testing tokenized securities on the Avalanche blockchain. This move aims to explore the potential of integrating distributed ledger technology into Wall Street operations. In collaboration with Wellington Management and WisdomTree, Citibank's test involves tokenizing a hypothetical private equity fund on Avalanche, known for its smart contract capabilities. The test evaluates fund distribution rules embedded in smart contracts and the use of tokenized assets as collateral in automated lending. With a keen eye on regulatory compliance, Citibank's foray into blockchain-based services could significantly influence the future of financial transactions and asset management.
