HSBC Holdings (LSE:HSBA) and Standard Chartered completed the first live cross border interbank transaction using tokenised deposits over Swift’s blockchain ledger. <\/p>\n

The pilot payment used Swift’s distributed ledger infrastructure to move tokenised deposits between the two banks in different jurisdictions. <\/p>\n

The live transaction highlights HSBC’s efforts to apply blockchain technology within regulated banking for cross border payments. <\/p>\n

HSBC is far from the only bank or infrastructure provider tied to this kind of payment technology shift. It is worth looking at a broader group of stocks linked to the systems that support it through 55 AI infrastructure stocks<\/a>. <\/p>\n

What HSBC’s tokenised deposit trial signals for its AI and digital push <\/p>\n

For investors, this Swift blockchain trial fits directly into HSBC Holdings’ narrative around digital transformation and AI driven efficiency gains. It shows the bank testing tokenised deposits within established market plumbing rather than building entirely separate systems. That approach lines up with the push to improve cost to income and support higher margin transaction banking revenues from cross border trade and Asian flows, without changing the existing risk profile overnight. <\/p>\n
