Odaily Planet Daily reports that UK digital bank Monument Bank announced plans to tokenize up to £250 million (approximately $335 million) in retail deposits on Midnight Network, calling it the UK’s first such practice promoted by a regulated bank on a public blockchain. The bank stated that the related deposits will earn interest, be fully backed by the bank, and can be exchanged for GBP at a 1:1 ratio. Unlike previous efforts mainly focused on institutional clients or closed networks, Monument will offer this product to retail customers, with the initial target being the “affluent mass” group holding investable assets between £50,000 and £5 million.
