BMO launches tokenized cash and deposits on CME's 24/7 settlement network: Bank of Montreal

Bank of Montreal announced it will allow clients to convert dollars into tokenized cash and deposits on CME and Google Cloud's Universal Ledger infrastructure, enabling 24/7 settlement for margin, collateral and business-to-business payments. The move integrates one of North America's largest banks by assets into the CME's continuous settlement rails, expanding institutional access to tokenized financial services beyond traditional trading hours.

The Universal Ledger platform, operated jointly by CME and Google Cloud, supports real-time asset movement and settlement outside conventional market windows. BMO's integration represents a major adoption milestone for institutional tokenization infrastructure, allowing the bank's client base direct access to around-the-clock digital asset settlement capabilities.
