Bridging TradFi and DeFi: Murex Embeds Tokenized Assets into Core Infrastructure
As the digital asset market matures, major institutions are actively deploying tokenized real-world assets—now exceeding $100 billion in value. To meet this demand, financial technology provider Murex has partnered with programmable money platform Quant to integrate digital asset capabilities directly into its widely used MX.3 platform.
The collaboration addresses a critical operational gap for firms seeking to leverage tokenization without replacing existing infrastructure. Banks and capital markets firms can now issue, settle, and manage tokenized deposits and bonds within systems they already use—eliminating the need for costly parallel setups.
Key Benefits of the Integration:
- Universal Interoperability: Access multiple blockchain protocols through a single integration layer using Quant’s Overledger platform.
- Operational Efficiency: Seamless digital asset operations within existing trading, risk management, and regulatory reporting workflows.
- Programmable Functionality: Automate corporate actions and complex settlements with smart contracts while maintaining institutional controls.
- Regulatory Compliance: Built-in audit trails, privacy features, and jurisdiction-specific requirements ensure a secure tokenized asset lifecycle.
- Custody Flexibility: Institutions retain complete control over their custody solutions through standardized interfaces.
“The next generation of capital markets infrastructure will not replace what works—it will make what works programmable,” said Quant CEO Gilbert Verdian. Murex head of FX, equities, commodities, and digital assets Solène Khy added that the partnership provides clients with a comprehensive solution covering both traditional and decentralized finance while offering flexibility in custody choices.
The integration enables institutions to participate in the rapidly expanding tokenized asset market without disrupting existing operations—a critical step toward mainstream adoption.
