The Clearing House selects Quant for tokenized deposit interoperability
RWA Signal Insight
InfrastructureThe Clearing House (TCH) has selected Quant to develop an interoperability layer for its On-Chain Money Initiative, aiming to facilitate interbank payments using tokenized deposits. This project seeks to bridge the gap between disparate bank-specific tokenized deposit platforms, which currently operate in silos. By leveraging Quant’s orchestration technology, TCH intends to enable seamless clearing and settlement between customers of different financial institutions. The initiative is scheduled for a target launch in the first half of 2027, building upon TCH's existing role as the operator of the RTP and CHIPS networks. This development is significant for the RWA market as it addresses the critical need for cross-platform liquidity and interoperability in the tokenized deposit space. Beyond standard payments, the system will support conditional payments, treasury liquidity management, and the settlement of digital asset transactions. By integrating these capabilities into a trusted clearing house framework, the initiative aims to bring the efficiency of on-chain settlement to traditional banking infrastructure.
