Canadian bank VersaBank is piloting tokenized deposits on Algorand, bringing a Canadian project into a field where U.S. efforts also explore blockchain-based commercial bank money.

The pilot centers on VersaBank’s Real Bank Tokenized Deposits (RBTDs).

A commercial launch is anticipated after the pilot succeeds.
