DBS Report: Tokenized Money Adoption Accelerates, 71% of Respondents Expect Real-Time Cross-Border Payments
A DBS report shows tokenized money is gaining traction in cross-border payments, with 71% of respondents citing real-time cross-border payments as their most anticipated capability. The report also notes that tokenized money is moving from pilots to broader commercial use.
A report released by DBS shows that the adoption of tokenized money in cross-border payment scenarios is accelerating, with 71% of respondents listing real-time cross-border payments as the capability they most look forward to. The report also notes that the application scope of tokenized money is moving from pilots toward broader commercial scenarios.
The report did not disclose details such as the sample size of respondents or the timing of the survey. In recent years, DBS has participated in multiple tokenized deposit and settlement trials under projects related to the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and is itself advancing blockchain-based settlement infrastructure.
From an industry perspective, the division of labor between tokenized deposits and stablecoins in cross-border clearing and settlement is still taking shape. Whether real-time settlement can be achieved depends on regulatory connectivity between markets and on- and off-ramp channels, rather than on any single technological component.

This judgement can sit inside your own product
One line of code; it touches neither your CSS nor your JS. The same pre-settlement judgement can appear in your articles, on your wallet's confirmation screen, or as an endpoint your agent calls before it pays.
