Every single respondent that fed back said:
Instant settlement/collateral
management would significantly
improve their industry
4. • If asset tokenisation allows for peer-to-peer, instant atomic transfer – does that really solve
anything for institutions without tokenized cash?
• How could capital markets move toward instant settlement, is that even desirable?
• Is there cash asset that is high quality enough for settlement that could that be tokenised?
• Would the tokenisation of a cash asset also provide solution to some of the limitations of
the existing payment systems?
• What would be the legal and regulatory parameters relevant to these new services and
systems?

Effective Cash Transfer Problem Statement
• Counterparty Exposure
• Cash-in-transit
• Up/Down balances
In 24/7 global economy, global businesses should not be constrained by time zones, high
costs and inefficiencies when instructing settlement, transferring cash and moving
collateral.
8. Ivno Cordacon 8
Ivno Core Ideas
• Immobilising cash equivalent
collateral so that it does not move
lowers risk associated with
moving money.
• Passing beneficial ownership of
the immobilised collateral in
secure, instant tokens is simpler,
safer, cheaper and faster than
sending large value cash transfers
through the payment
infrastructure.
• Atomic settlement is only
desirable when the receiver of the
cash equivalent token instantly
becomes title holder to a very high
quality underlying asset,
something they can book in their
systems, and if needed easily
convert to cash.

Ivno Tokens
Designing a Collateral Backed Digital Token
1. Legal Structure. Legal enforceability
against underlying collateral.
2. Compliance with regulations including
but not limited to regulated activities,
KYC, AML and e-money
3. Underlying Collateral. Highly liquid
and transparent. Cash & Cash
Equivalent1 & Level 1 HQLA2
4. No introduction of Counterparty &
Credit Exposure. The quality of the
underlying asset cannot be
compromised by tokenisation.
5. Universal & Scalable Technology
