VersaBank has started the commercial phase in the U.S. for its Real Bank Tokenized Deposits™ (RBTDs™), branded as VUSD™, which are encrypted digital bank deposits on the blockchain. These deposits pay interest, are FDIC-insured, and comply with U.S. federal banking regulations, aiming to attract consumers and businesses. The bank plans to list VUSD™ on major digital asset exchanges and sees this technology as a secure, regulated alternative to stablecoins, with potential growth in its Structured Receivable Program. VersaBank also intends to offer this tokenized deposit technology to other U.S. community and regional banks facing competition from non-bank blockchain alternatives.
