In order to test distributed ledger technology for financial settlements utilizing tokenization, <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/1inch-network-collaborates-with-mastercard-to-launch-crypto-debit-card/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Mastercard</a> has partnered with major US banks including Citigroup, Visa, and <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/jpmorgan-ceo-jamie-dimon-continues-criticism-of-bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">JPMorgan</a>. 
This collaboration between the payment processor and the banking titans is a test run in Regulated Settlement Network (RSN), a distributed ledger technology. Through RSN, it is possible to settle tokenized assets collectively, including Treasurys, investment-grade financial instruments, and money from commercial banks.

Moreover, assets like money from commercial banks and securities like investment-grade debt operate on separate systems at the moment. Also, by pooling resources and issuing tokens for different assets, RSN will allow settlement processes to take place on a single platform using a distributed ledger. 
Expanding on a 12-week pilot phase that began in late 2022, the current trial phase is already underway. Prior iterations of the test have concentrated on interbank dollar transactions, both local and international. The current proof-of-concept (<a href="https://www.techtarget.com/searchcio/definition/proof-of-concept-POC" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">PoC</a>) RSN tests are centered in modeling dollar settlements. 
Mastercard stated in a statement on May 8 that the project’s goals are to streamline international payments while decreasing the likelihood of fraud and mistakes. 
Shared ledger technology used to dollar settlements might open the door to the next generation of market infrastructures, according to Raj Dhamodharan, Mastercard’s head of blockchain and digital assets. This would allow for programmable settlements that are available 24/7 and do not cause any friction. 
Two major banking organizations have just joined the RSN PoC: the USDF Consortium and the <a href="https://tassat.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Tassat Group</a> will both be involved in the interbank tokenized deposit networks, while another financial behemoth, Deloitte, will be offering advisory services.&nbsp;
