Solana’s Institutional Bet: DvP Settlement Standard Could Make Tokenization Real (or Just Another Press Release)
- Published
Solana Foundation announced an open-source program called Solana DvP for settling tokenized assets with delivery-versus-payment. JPMorgan contributed to the build, and the program is described as allowing trades to settle in seconds instead of days when both sides are available in advance.
Key claims & sources
What it means
Institutions that handle tokenized assets are the immediate audience for this announcement, because Solana DvP is aimed at settlement practices they already use. JPMorgan’s involvement also puts Wall Street-focused users and market infrastructure teams in view, since the build includes institutional settlement practices and compliance language.
In practice, the change is that delivery and payment are described as happening together within seconds instead of on a longer settlement cycle. The requirement that both funds and assets be available in advance stays in place, so this is a different settlement method rather than an open-ended transfer process. (per crypto-economy.com)
