Bank for International Settlements Announcement:
Last month the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) Innovation Hub unveiled Project Agorá, its ambitious project with seven central banks to transform cross border payments with tokenization.
It proposes using a Unified Ledger involving wholesale central bank digital currencies (wCBDC) and tokenized deposits on a shared infrastructure to execute payments. Today the BIS released a short paper on “Next generation correspondent banking“, which outlines the vision for Agorá. A large part of that relates to how compliance is dealt with.
