first_img The Bank of England has launched a consultation on the use of tokenized collateral for central clearing

The Bank of England has launched a consultation on how central counterparties (CCPs) can accept digital forms of eligible collateral, stating that current rules allow for such arrangements provided that the relevant assets meet clearing standards. The draft regulatory statement released by the bank will clarify the matters that CCPs must specify when submitting applications under the existing approval process, covering collateral that has been accepted as well as types that meet the criteria under the proposed UK CCP rulebook but have not yet been used in practice. The Bank of England emphasized that this statement will not create new regulatory obligations.The Bank of England pointed out that tokenized collateral must always be capable of being valued, transferred, and liquidated, including under stress scenarios; the improvement in cross-border transfer speed helps institutions meet margin calls in a timely manner. Sarah Breeden, the Deputy Governor responsible for financial stability, stated that this consultation reflects the bank's goal of promoting innovation in financial market infrastructure while maintaining financial stability, and is part of a broader agenda by regulators and the industry to promote the responsible application of tokenization in financial markets.The consultation document will close for feedback on February 12, 2027, and the Bank of England plans to subsequently publish a policy response and related rules.

The Canton Foundation has approved a grant of nearly 15.8 million Canton Coins to the blockchain oracle provider RedStone, equivalent to approximately 1.55 million USD at the time, for the development of the open-source pricing tool Canton Access and Privacy Standard (CAPS) aimed at institutional clients. This standard is designed to allow institutions to use shared market prices for transaction valuation while not disclosing their agreed settlement amounts to data providers.According to the plan announced on Thursday, RedStone will release reference prices that can be used to calculate transaction values, with initial development covering tokenized funds, private market assets, and structured products. The pricing calculation and authorization module will be released under the Apache 2 open-source license, allowing other data providers to adjust and use it. Viv Diwakar, head of the Canton Foundation, stated that supporting open-source initiatives like CAPS helps establish a shared privacy and authorization framework, enabling multiple data providers to serve the network.RedStone has been providing pricing data for Canton since December 2025 and collaborates with ecosystem participants such as Temple Digital Group. Canton Network previously disclosed that it has connected with over 600 institutions, including Goldman Sachs, DTCC, Bank of New York Mellon, and Franklin Templeton, with a monthly transaction processing volume of approximately 9 trillion USD. CoinGecko data shows that the CC token price is about 0.0979 USD, with a market capitalization of 3.91 billion USD and a trading volume of 23.23 million USD in the past 24 hours.

first_img Polygon integrates Solana into the payment stack, connecting bank accounts with stablecoin payments

Polygon Labs announced that it has integrated Solana into its Open Money Stack payment platform, allowing the network's enterprise clients to connect their dollar bank accounts directly to the global payment network through a single API framework. The platform supports enterprises in depositing funds from bank accounts, transferring funds across chains, and making payments to recipients, while also providing functionalities such as customer accounts and wallets, currency exchange, and routing payments to supported bank accounts, debit cards, cash services, and cryptocurrency wallets.Kira is one of the first clients to use the Solana integration, helping clients convert between dollars and stablecoins, send payments through banking channels, and pay overseas suppliers. Kira's CEO Edrizio De La Cruz stated that the company has been using Solana to transfer stablecoins, and collaborating with Polygon allows these transfers to be converted into dollars in their bank accounts when clients need to pay suppliers. Open Money Stack simultaneously connects Polygon, Ethereum, and TRON, which was integrated earlier this month.This integration occurred after Solana activated the Alpenglow consensus upgrade a week ago, which reduced the final confirmation time for transactions from approximately 12.8 seconds to 150 milliseconds. According to data from The Block, the total supply of dollar stablecoins has approached $290 billion, with USDT exceeding $182 billion and USDC nearing $76 billion. Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer of the Solana Foundation, stated that the volume of stablecoin transactions processed by Solana in 2026 has exceeded $5.5 trillion. Earlier this month, Polygon also completed the acquisition of Coinme, obtaining money transmission licenses and exemptions covering 48 states in the United States.
