Sergey Nazarov spoke at Sibos 2026 about banks shifting toward tokenized deposit chains and the need for interoperability across those systems. He also described tokenized cash, equities, and funds as parts of a parallel financial system that could be used by AI agents.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Banks, fintech teams, and enterprise users watching Sibos would notice a continued push toward tokenized deposit chains and the need to connect those systems across institutions. The practical effect is that interoperability sits in the middle of the setup, because tokenized deposit chains are being discussed as infrastructure rather than isolated experiments.
In practice, tokenized cash, equities, and funds are being framed as components of a separate financial layer rather than as standalone assets. That leaves the basic idea of those assets in place, while adding an AI-agent use case on top of them. (per tokenpost.com)
Market reaction i
The move was larger before the first headline than after. That is an observation, not an explanation: the market also moves on things nobody publishes.
