🗓️ Jul 31 2026 20:30 UTC - Sajjal Ali
BIS Project Agorá settles $1M in tokenized cross-border payments, proving faster, secure wholesale settlements in real-value testing.
➤ The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) successfully completed a trial for Project Agorá, settling $1 million in tokenized cross-border payments using real money across six currencies in an average of 80 seconds.
➤ The trial involved 28 financial institutions and central banks, demonstrating faster, safer, and more transparent wholesale settlements through tokenized central bank reserves and commercial bank deposits.
➤ While still a research project, the successful trial indicates growing institutional interest in tokenization for improving international payment efficiency without compromising the existing banking system's safety.
