Driving Innovation in the Financial Sector

This collaboration marks the bank's commitment to exploring asset tokenization applications within regulated financial markets. Project Guardian, a multi-year initiative involving global policymakers and financial industry representatives, aims to pave the way for the adoption of digital assets in the traditional financial landscape.

The bank aims to test an open architecture and interoperable blockchain platform designed to service tokenized and digital funds. By leveraging technology and collaborating with industry stakeholders, Deutsche Bank seeks to shape the future of asset servicing in Singapore and the Asia Pacific region.

Anand Rengarajan, the Head of Securities Services for Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Global Head of Sales, mentioned: "Contributing to Project Guardian will bolster our efforts to help shape the new frontier of asset servicing and strongly position us to contribute to industry progress, and not only anticipate our client's needs but exceed their expectations."
