BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole in New Interbank Digital Currency Project
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Last week a new project was unveiled to explore an interbank digital currency to settle security token transactions.

The French group aims to explore instant atomic settlement or delivery versus payment. That’s for a settlement token to be used to make payment for transactions on a regulated securities exchange that leverages blockchain or distributed ledger technology (DLT).
