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.

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
Workflows
The 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 Instruments
Tokenisation 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 Operations
The 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.
