Treasury wasn't built for real time execution. Daily cycles and batch processing can't deliver what enterprises now expect: real time liquidity visibility, instant payments and seamless integration. Treasury-as-a-Service changes the model with programmability. Group treasury becomes programmable infrastructure. Meaning liquidity on demand, automated cash concentration and cross-border payments with compliance built in. What makes it viable? Programmable money and interoperability: value moving frictionlessly across banking rails, digital currency networks, and blockchain infrastructure. The signal for banks is that corporates are now choosing partners on programmable, real-time capabilities rather than on traditional service metrics.

Every institution building its own chain. Every chain needing its own bridge. That path leads to liquidity stuck in silos and growing integration costs. Fusion takes a different approach, one canonical bridge per network, built and secured by Quant. A single interoperable layer that connects permissioned ledgers, public chains, and every institution already on the fabric, without asking anyone to migrate. Core infrastructure requires neutral ownership, open to the whole industry. That's the foundation of a network of networks, built to serve the industry for decades.

Last night at Mansion House, the Chancellor set out a strong update on UK fintech progress: the Great British Tokenised Deposit initiative moving to live transactions, the UK's stablecoin regime, new agentic payment tools launching in the UK, and plans for the UK to become the first G7 country to issue a Digital Sovereign Bond. This is a significant moment for the industry we operate in. GBTD moving from concept to live transactions is a strong signal that tokenised deposits are becoming an operational reality. It reflects the same direction we've been building towards: infrastructure that allows programmable, interoperable settlement across ledgers and institutions. It is clear that interoperability between traditional and tokenised infrastructure is now a policy priority as much as a technical one. That's exactly the gap we've built our platform to close.

Where should the fiat sit that backs a tokenised deposit? And which ledger gets to call itself the source of truth? These are live architectural questions for every bank running or planning a tokenised deposit programme, and the answer changes depending on whether you're moving money cross-border between branches or launching a retail product to millions of customers. We're delighted to be publishing a joint point of view with Capgemini on this, written by our Chief Commercial Officer, Lenna Russ and our Chief Product Officer, Martin Hargreaves, alongside Kieran Mullaley, Pierre-Yves Bonnardot and Vivek Jain from Capgemini. It draws on what we've learned building and operating the core infrastructure behind Great British Tokenised Deposits (GBTD), tested live across multiple UK banks, plus Capgemini's integration and delivery expertise, to walk through the mirror vs. omnibus account models, the five-layer architecture for legacy-to-DLT integration, and what it actually takes to get a programme from strategy to production.

Much of the conversation about scaling digital asset infrastructure has focused on wallets and custody, in particular how institutions control private keys, manage bearer instruments, and build the access layer for digital assets. That work matters, and the institutions that have done it well are ahead. The harder problem is settlement, in particular, what happens when assets need to move. In this article, we explore why settlement is the critical gap, and what is required to close it: https://lnkd.in/eAZwwfgW #DigitalAssets #ProgrammableSettlement #Interoperability

Earlier this year, Quant secured patent acceptance in Japan for its multi-DLT token innovation, covering a core capability behind Fusion's rollup technology: processing instructions across two or more distributed ledgers and publishing verification back onto at least one of them. This builds on Quant's existing Japanese patent portfolio, which also protects: - A method for establishing transaction chronology across blockchains with different block times - A process enabling a single API request to trigger actions across multiple distributed ledgers In this article, our Head of Innovation, Luke Riley, shares what this milestone means for Quant Fusion: https://lnkd.in/epZHBc_6 #QuantFusion #DLT #Interoperability #BlockchainInfrastructure

Central banks, commercial banks, and payment infrastructures have invested in new rails and standards. Yet settlement still lags behind messaging. Most cross-border payments settle sequentially, leg one, then leg two, with a gap between them where risk, cost, and failed settlement can creep in. Synchronised settlement closes that gap. Both legs settle together, or neither does. In this article, we break down why this is a coordination problem, not a capability problem, and what live deployments across the UK, Europe, and Latin America already prove is possible.

Earlier this year, the UK government confirmed a 60-day cap on how long large businesses can take to pay their SME suppliers. The old exemption, where both sides could agree to longer terms, has been scrapped. Here's why it needed to happen. UK SMEs are owed an average of £66,770 each in unpaid invoices. Nearly two-thirds of invoices get paid late. And 38 businesses close every single day because they run out of cash while waiting to get paid. The law won't take effect until 2027 at the earliest, but finance teams have work to do before then: - Go through every supplier contract and flag terms longer than 60 days - Check how long payments actually take, not just what the contract says - Be honest about whether your current process could hit this deadline every time, on every invoice That last point is where most manual processes struggle. A late approval or a delayed payment run used to be a minor headache, but soon it could mean a statutory penalty. The businesses that start auditing contracts and fixing their processes now will be ready. The ones that wait will be renegotiating contracts and rebuilding processes under pressure.

Stablecoins hit a $307 billion market cap in early 2026. But for institutions, the direction of travel is shifting. Regulatory reclassification, lack of deposit protection, and concentrated issuer risk are pushing banks toward a different instrument: tokenised deposits. A recent move away from retail CBDC toward interest-bearing tokenised deposits confirms the pattern. Tokenised deposits keep the regulatory trust of a bank deposit and add the programmability of a distributed ledger, and they are already live in production today. Stablecoins, wholesale CBDCs, and tokenised deposits will all coexist, but they serve different purposes. For institutions, tokenised deposits are where the momentum now sits: https://lnkd.in/eefZ7ukr #TokenisedDeposits #Stablecoins #CBDCs #DigitalMoney

As digital assets move from pilot to production, financial institutions need infrastructure that connects any DLT and legacy system, without creating new silos. Overledger delivers this through standardised APIs, giving institutions a single interoperability layer instead of separate integrations for every network. ➡️ Granular privacy controls via firewall architecture ➡️ Enterprise key management with full audit trails ➡️ Event-driven architecture through webhooks Overledger is built for institutions moving DLT into production.
