Quant (QNT), a blockchain interoperability project, has announced a landmark strategic partnership with Murex, a leading enterprise-wide capital markets platform for trading, risk management, and post-trade processing (MX.3). The primary objective is to enable banks and financial institutions to issue, manage, and settle tokenized assets—specifically tokenized deposits and digital bonds—within their existing, trusted systems.
The integration embeds Quant's programmable money infrastructure directly into the MX.3 platform. This allows institutions to operationalize tokenization without compromising the risk management, compliance, and operational resilience they have built over decades. The collaboration focuses on enhancing existing workflows rather than building separate, parallel infrastructure.
The announcement comes as the total value of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has surpassed the $100 billion mark, signaling mainstream institutional interest moving beyond pilot projects into live deployments.
Gilbert Verdian, Founder and CEO of Quant, stated: "Banks and capital markets firms know tokenization is happening. The question they are working through is how to operationalize it... By integrating our programmable money infrastructure with MX.3, we are giving them a clear path forward. The next generation of capital markets infrastructure will not replace what works. It will make what works programmable."
The integration unlocks cross-chain interoperability for institutions, enabling programmability, cross-rail payment orchestration, and interaction across both public and private blockchains through a single interface. It supports features like automated corporate actions and conditional payments while maintaining necessary compliance controls.
Solène Khy, Head of FX, Equities, Commodities and Digital Assets at Murex, commented: "Tokenisation is rapidly moving into mainstream finance... This partnership enables clients to integrate these new capabilities into existing capital markets systems without overhauling their infrastructure, with comprehensive coverage across both TradFi and DeFi."
The partnership represents a significant shift in capital markets infrastructure, aiming to bridge Traditional Finance (TradFi) with blockchain by integrating digital asset capabilities directly into established systems. Adoption success will hinge on interoperability, regulatory alignment, and seamless integration into current institutional workflows.
