🏦 Five US Banks Launch Tokenized Deposit Network on ZKsync
🏦 Five US Banks Launch Tokenized Deposit Network on ZKsync
🏦 Banks move $600B onchain
Cari Network is building the first tokenized deposits network in the United States, developed alongside five regional banks: Huntington Bank, First Horizon, M&T Bank, KeyBank, and Old National. Together representing $600B in deposits, these institutions are leveraging ZKsync's Prividium technology to bring bank-issued digital deposits onchain.
Key differences from stablecoins:
- Tokenized deposits are direct bank liabilities, not synthetic assets
- Integrated with core banking systems
- Eligible for FDIC insurance
- Operate within existing regulatory frameworks
What Prividium enables:
- Private, enterprise-controlled blockchain infrastructure
- Real-time settlement while maintaining compliance
- Security anchored to Ethereum
- 24/7 programmable money within banking regulations
The network aims to modernize deposit infrastructure for the $8.3T held by regional banks, allowing them to compete in the digital assets economy while preserving privacy and regulatory safeguards.
The Cari Network is being developed alongside five U.S. regional banks: @Huntington_Bank , @FirstHorizonBnk , @MandT_Bank , @keybank , @Old_National . Together they are building a tokenized deposit network integrated into banks’ existing systems and risk frameworks.

Corporate Treasury is fragmented, slow and expensive. Treasury infrastructure wasn't built for global, real-time business. Prividiums enable programmable Treasury management so that corporations can consolidate their global operations in real-time with near-instant transfers.
"Banks are on a race to modernize. Working with @BitGo, we offer a full stack tokenized deposits solution enabling every financial institution to compete on the digital assets economy." @gluk64 laying out the vision of our partnership with @BitGo on stage at @blockworksDAS.
The objective is simple: Combine blockchain speed and programmability with the safety and regulatory safeguards of the banking system. Tokenized deposits let banks deliver 24/7 digital money within existing regulatory frameworks. Programmable. Real-time. Bank-issued money.
Treating privacy and compliance as opposites is an outdated assumption. Modern cryptography allows both to coexist. Prividiums were built to enable this future: private onchain infrastructure where compliance is enforced cryptographically. x.com/TziokasV/statu…
