Content overview: “BNY and Citadel Securities Pilot Tokenized U.S. Treasuries for Faster Collateral Moves”. Bank of New York Mellon and Citadel Securities have tested using tokenized U.S. Treasury securities to accelerate collateral transfers between settlement and financing, according to a recent report.
