Murex and Quant Partner to Bring Digital Assets into Core Capital Markets Systems
As tokenized real-world assets surpass the $100 billion milestone, Murex has announced a strategic partnership with Quant to integrate digital asset capabilities directly into its flagship MX.3 platform.
The collaboration is designed to help banks and capital markets firms incorporate tokenized assets—such as digital bonds and deposits—into their existing trading, risk, and post-trade operations without replacing legacy systems.
Bridging the Gap Between Innovation and Legacy Systems
While tokenization is gaining traction across the financial sector, many institutions have struggled with how to integrate these new capabilities into long-established infrastructure. Major players like BlackRock, Franklin Templeton and JPMorgan Chase are already deploying tokenized products, but operational integration remains a key hurdle.
The Murex-Quant partnership aims to address this challenge by enabling firms to manage digital assets within systems they already use. Instead of building separate platforms, institutions can issue, settle and monitor tokenized instruments directly through MX.3, reducing complexity and cost.
Making Capital Markets “Programmable”
Quant’s infrastructure, including its Flow and Overledger platforms, will allow MX.3 users to interact with multiple blockchain networks through a single interface. This enables interoperability across public and private chains while maintaining the controls required in institutional finance.
The integration also introduces programmable features, such as automated corporate actions, conditional payments and advanced settlement processes, all embedded within existing workflows.
According to Quant CEO Gilbert Verdian, the goal is not to replace traditional systems but to enhance them. “The next generation of capital markets infrastructure will not replace what works. It will make what works programmable,” he said.
Supporting Compliance and Flexibility
A key focus of the partnership is ensuring that digital asset operations meet regulatory and operational standards. The integrated system includes built-in audit trails, compliance checks and privacy controls, helping institutions manage tokenized assets in line with jurisdictional requirements.
At the same time, firms retain flexibility over custody arrangements, with support for multiple custodians and wallet providers through standardized interfaces.
Accelerating Institutional Adoption
Murex said the partnership reflects a broader shift as tokenization moves from experimentation into real-world deployment. By embedding digital asset capabilities into core capital markets infrastructure, the company aims to lower barriers to adoption and help institutions transition more smoothly into the next phase of financial innovation.
For many firms, the message is clear: the future of capital markets may not lie in replacing existing systems, but in upgrading them to operate in a programmable, blockchain-enabled environment.
