The pilot involved collaboration with multinational clients and various banks to streamline fund transfers and support domestic and international payments in major currencies.
UBS Digital Cash provides greater visibility into cash positions, enhancing liquidity management.
The closed permissioned blockchain network ensures confidentiality, and the integration of smart contracts automates transaction processes.
UBS plans to expand the capabilities of Digital Cash in the future, aligning with its long-term vision of incorporating blockchain technology across all financial services.
This initiative demonstrates the growing recognition of blockchain's value in the financial industry and positions UBS as a leader in integrating blockchain within traditional finance.
