- Murex and Quant partnered to embed tokenised deposits into core capital markets infrastructure—trading, risk, and post-trade workflows
- Institutional traders gain on-chain settlement capabilities without rebuilding legacy systems, reducing operational friction across buy and sell side
- The integration signals enterprise appetite for blockchain-native liquidity, positioning both firms to capture demand from banks and asset managers seeking tokenisation readiness
Murex and Quant just collapsed a critical technical barrier: institutional traders can now settle tokenised deposits across capital markets infrastructure without abandoning the risk and post-trade systems they depend on daily. The partnership embeds blockchain-grade asset settlement directly into Murex’s core trading and risk workflows. For the first time, tokenised deposits become a production-ready option for asset managers, prime brokers, and investment banks—not just a theoretical advantage.
Institutional Blockchain Adoption Moves Beyond Pilots
This is live infrastructure, not a sandbox experiment. Murex’s software powers trading, risk analytics, and post-trade processing at over 4,000 financial institutions globally. By integrating Quant’s tokenisation layer at that scale, blockchain settlement becomes available to traders managing trillions in daily flows. The crucial part: traders execute trades against tokenised collateral without learning new tools or bypassing compliance. On-chain settlement happens inside the same workflow where position limits, market risk, and counterparty exposure are already calculated.
For institutional finance, the practical problem is fragmented settlement. Traders today manage spot settlement, repo, derivatives clearing, and collateral moves across disconnected systems. Blockchain promises atomic finality and transparent collateral accounting—but only if it’s wired into the systems traders actually use. Embedding tokenisation directly into Murex’s trading engine solves this. It eliminates the integration friction that has confined blockchain settlement to crypto-native venues and specialist traders.
Risk Infrastructure Gets Blockchain Native
Risk management tools on Murex’s platform will now calculate real-time exposure across both traditional and tokenised collateral pools. The difference matters: institutional risk models have never had to account for on-chain liquidity conditions, gas costs, or blockchain finality timelines. Now Murex’s risk systems can ingest on-chain data—token balances, staking conditions, smart contract exposure—and fold it into the same VaR and stress-testing calculations that govern position limits and capital allocation.
Banks unlock a cleaner collateral stack. Instead of maintaining multiple ledgers (traditional deposits, tokenised assets, staking pools), traders treat tokenised deposits as direct substitutes. Risk systems automatically rebalance collateral based on real-time blockchain settlement outcomes. It’s practical infrastructure—and practical is what enterprise adoption needs.
Capital Markets Tokenisation Gets Real Infrastructure
Murex and Quant are now positioned as critical infrastructure for institutional tokenisation. Murex reaches the risk and operations teams; Quant provides the blockchain rails. Together, they’re removing the “build it yourself” burden that has kept mid-market asset managers from experimenting with tokenised settlement.
This also clarifies the regulatory picture. When tokenisation lives inside Murex’s compliance and surveillance layers, regulators see institutional-grade governance. The DFSA, CBUAE, and VARA in the UAE already signal openness to blockchain settlement for capital markets. This partnership gives regional banks and ADGM-licensed firms a clear integration path to test tokenised deposit infrastructure alongside traditional flows.
Murex and Quant have just handed enterprise finance a no-excuses toolkit for tokenised settlement. This is the infrastructure that shifts tokenisation from pilot programs to production deployment. For MENA investors and banks already exploring CBDC and tokenised asset strategies—particularly those under VARA’s digital asset framework—this partnership provides a proven pathway to integrate blockchain settlement without rearchitecting legacy systems.
