Quant introduces QuantNet to connect payment rails
UK‑based fintech company Quant announced QuantNet – a platform for settlement operations and tokenized digital assets. The company describes it as “the world’s first programmable settlement network.”
QuantNet is framed as a software bridge that links different payment rails and platforms for traditional and digital assets, while also integrating with existing financial infrastructure. The idea is that banks can run settlement workflows and move liquidity across otherwise incompatible systems without replacing their current technology stacks.
According to the company, the network can connect commercial bank money held in digital wallets, tokenized deposits internally, and bank‑issued stablecoins. It can tie together private asset networks and trading venues (such as HSBC’s Orion or Euroclear’s D‑FMI), as well as public blockchains and enterprise distributed ledgers where needed. It’s also positioned to interoperate with existing settlement systems like RTGS, CREST, and T2S.
Use cases cited by Quant include automated DvP and PvP, “atomic” settlement, and built-in rollback and cancellation mechanisms. Control of funds remains with banks; Quant says the network itself does not hold customer money.
For context, Quant notes that the architecture is already being used in the UK tokenized pound deposit initiative (GBTD) coordinated by UK Finance together with major banks.
Expected benefits include lower operational costs through automation, a single real‑time view of activity, and a faster path from pilots to production. Actual impact, rollout speed, and regulatory fit will vary by bank and jurisdiction.
The implementation path is described as “deploy / connect / scale”: banks would first issue tokenized deposits on their side, then orchestrate flows between wallets, asset platforms, and settlement systems, and ultimately move pilots into full production.
A public demo of the platform is scheduled during the industry conference Sibos 2025, running from September 29 to October 2, 2025.
