[Seven Major UK Banks Complete World's First Interbank Tokenized GBP Deposit Transaction] According to a report by Jinse Finance on September 24, confirmed by CoinDesk and multiple other media outlets, seven UK banks—Barclays, HSBC UK, Lloyds, Monzo, Nationwide, NatWest, and Santander—have completed the world's first interbank tokenized GBP deposit customer transaction under the 'UK Tokenized Deposits (GBTD)' initiative led by UK Finance. Among them, Lloyds, NatWest, and Barclays completed two remortgage transactions, with funds automatically released upon settlement after being locked. Three banks, including HSBC, completed peer-to-peer payments simulating online shopping. The platform was built by Quant, with EY serving as project manager and Linklaters drafting the rules. The project plans to establish a company and draft a rulebook, with three digital bonds enabling tokenized deposit transactions set to be issued in the first quarter of 2027.
