Technical approach

As reported
Shared ledger

One record instead of many

Banks keep balances on one blockchain ledger instead of mirrored correspondent accounts that must be reconciled.

Atomic

Both legs or neither

FX trades settle payment-versus-payment: both currencies move in the same instant or not at all, removing settlement risk.

Bank money

Tokenised deposits, not stablecoins

Balances are claims on regulated settlement banks such as Deutsche Bank and J.P. Morgan, not on a crypto issuer.
