Singapore Bank DBS Completes Fixed Income Trade on JPMorgan's Blockchain Network Onyx
DBS said it is the first Asian bank to use Onyx network to complete a trade.
DBS (D05), Singapore's largest bank by market cap, said it has become the first Asian bank to use JPMorgan's (JPM) blockchain-based fixed income trading network Onyx, joining international heavyweights including Goldman Sachs (GS) and BNP Paribas (EPA).
The Onyx Digital Assets network uses tokens for short-term trading in fixed income markets, enabling investors to lend assets for a period of hours without them leaving their balance sheets.

The aim of the Onyx network is to allow banks to settle such transactions in a matter of hours, as opposed to the one or two working day-period it has taken historically.
Over $300 billion of intraday repo deals have been carried out on Onyx since JPMorgan launched it in 2020.
