Murex and Quant have announced a strategic partnership to integrate digital asset capabilities into core trading, risk and post-trade capital markets workflows. The collaboration brings Quant’s programmable money infrastructure into Murex’s MX.3 platform.Singapore Summit: Meet the largest APAC brokers you know (and those you still don't!).The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission recently clarified rules around tokenised stocks. The regulator highlighted the distinction between issuer‑sponsored tokenised securities and third‑party synthetic products. The guidance aims to ensure that tokenised offerings comply with existing securities laws, signaling growing regulatory support for institutional deployments of tokenised assets.Institutional Tokenisation Connects with Existing WorkflowsThe integration allows banks and capital markets firms to issue, settle and manage tokenised deposits and digital bonds within existing systems. Firms do not need to build separate infrastructure.“Banks and capital markets firms know tokenisation is happening. The question they are working through is how to operationalise it without compromising the risk management, compliance and operational resilience they have spent decades building,” said Gilbert Verdian, founder and CEO of Quant. “By integrating our programmable money infrastructure with MX.3, we are giving them a clear path forward.”Major Banks Adopt Tokenised Financial InstrumentsTokenisation of real-world assets has recently passed USD 100 billion. DTCC has received SEC approval to tokenise such assets from mid-2026. BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and JPMorgan have live tokenised funds. The New York Stock Exchange is developing a blockchain-based venue for 24/7 trading of tokenised securities. In the UK, a consortium including HSBC, Barclays and Lloyds is piloting tokenised sterling deposits on Quant infrastructure.“Tokenisation is rapidly moving into mainstream finance as major institutions launch real-world deployments,” said Solène Khy, Murex head of FX, equities, commodities and digital assets. “This partnership enables clients to integrate these new capabilities into existing capital markets systems without overhauling their infrastructure.”Integrated Solution Enables Multi‑Blockchain Digital OperationsThe integrated solution supports multiple blockchains through Quant’s Overledger. Digital asset operations run within MX.3 workflows, enabling smart contracts, automated corporate actions, conditional payments and complex settlement sequences. The system provides full audit trails, privacy controls and compliance with local regulations. Institutions can choose custody arrangements through standardised interfaces supporting multiple providers. This article was written by Tareq Sikder at www.financemagnates.com.
