UK Financeは、ブロックチェーン技術を用いたトークン化預金による銀行間取引が初めて完了したと発表した。これは「Great British Tokenised Deposit(GBTD)」プロジェクトの下、2026年9月24日木曜日に行われたもので、ロイズ、ナットウエスト、バークレイズ、HSBCを含む英国最大手の銀行グループが実環境でのテストを完了し、住宅ローンの決済とオンライン決済の両方を対象とした。ロイズ・バンキング・グループ、ナットウエスト、バークレイズは実際の住宅ローン借り換え取引を2件行い、システムは不動産の所有権移転がブロックチェーン上で確認されるまで資金を保留し、その後、銀行間で自動的に送金した。一方、HSBCはオンライン市場での取引に基づく別の取引をテストし、プログラマブルな預金を用いて買い手の資金を口座に保留し、商品の発送が完了したことをシステムが確認した後に売り手へ解放した。このプロジェクトはQuant Networkの技術を採用しており、UK Financeによると、各行はすでにこの段階を進めており、2027年初頭に3件のトークン化デジタル債券を発行する計画で、取引、清算、決済に同じトークン化預金システムを使用する見込みだ。シティ・インスティテュートは、トークン化された金融資産が2030年までに5兆5000億ドルから8兆2000億ドル規模に成長する可能性があると予測している。
