Summary
Monument Bank is making waves by tokenizing £250 million in retail deposits on the Midnight blockchain, targeting “mass-affluent” savers with £50K–£5M to access tokenized private equity via a regulated app. Though initially poised to be the first globally, regulatory hurdles—specifically finding an FCA-compliant custodian capable of handling zero-knowledge proofs—delayed launch by months. They’ve secured a Canadian-based custodian (name undisclosed) to navigate UK rules while preserving privacy. Deposits remain fully backed, earn interest, and retain FSCS protection. This bold move bridges traditional finance and blockchain for retail customers, potentially setting a new precedent for the industry.
