The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) launched a pilot on deposit tokenisation.
Deposit tokenisation refers to deposits held at banks would be represented as tokens, which can then be used, transferred, or settled more fluidly across systems.
The process starts when a customer deposits their selected asset with a trusted custodian.
In return, the custodian issues a corresponding amount of digital tokens on a blockchain network.
Digital tokenisation refers to the process of converting assets such as deposits, stocks, and bonds into digital representations recorded on a blockchain.
