<p>The DBS Treasury Tokens pilot is designed to streamline and optimize the management of multi-currency treasury and liquidity for Ant International entities.

<p>Kelvin Li, Head of Platform Technology at Ant International, highlighted the potential of this pilot, noting that it has already demonstrated use cases in areas such as instant tax refunds and cross-border payments for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) on Ant Group’s Whale platform. The collaboration with DBS Bank is expected to expand these capabilities further, providing a robust platform for innovation in financial services.</p>  
<p>According to the bank, DBS Bank’s Treasury Tokens project builds upon the bank’s involvement in <a href="https://cryptonewsland.com/crypto-giant-coinbase-obtains-a-permit-in-singapore/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Singapore’s</a> broader efforts to explore the benefits of tokenization. The project follows DBS’s participation in Project Orchid and Project Guardian, both led by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. These initiatives aim to upgrade the understanding and use of tokenized assets and financial instruments, positioning Singapore as a leader in financial innovation.</p>
