Odaily Planet Daily News: BNY Mellon is migrating its core transfer agent records onto the blockchain to create a single, on-chain ownership ledger and reduce reliance on intermediaries.
The initiative will initially support clients including Baillie Gifford, BlackRock, and BNY's own Dreyfus, covering the first fully native, UK-regulated tokenized fund and other planned tokenized products.
BNY and other major banks are building blockchain-based infrastructure and tokenized deposit networks. The bank anticipates that legacy systems will continue to coexist for several more years amid persistent cybersecurity and smart contract risks.
