TD Bank, financial institutions experimenting with blockchain
TD Bank has also shown involvement in the crypto space joining big names, including the Bank of New York Mellon, Citibank, HSBC, PNC Bank, Swift, Truist Bank and Wells Fargo, in a 12-week proof of concept for a shared ledger system aimed at facilitating instant cross-border transactions in USD, with regulators actively involved.
The initiative, known as the Regulated Liability Network (RLN), aims to address the need for real-time settlement, especially during holidays and weekends, enabling businesses to make payments seamlessly using United States bank holidays and weekends while operating on a shared ledger that includes central banks, commercial banks, and electronic money on the same chain.
Although the outcome of the pilot is still unknown, the continued interest by institutional players presents a positive message for the future of digital currencies.
