Tokyo-based bank Nomura Holdings Inc. (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nmr#NYSE">NMR</a>) has invested in Fnality, a blockchain-based interbank payment and settlement network that is now sponsored by 17 major financial institutions.
What Happened: After raising &pound;50 million ($54 million) Series B funding in 2019, Fnality is in the process of raising a similar amount again.
&ldquo;The transformation of financial services powered by <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-blockchain-penny-stocks/">blockchain</a> technology is clearly accelerating, and we believe Fnality is uniquely positioned to capitalize on the significant opportunities brought by this evolution,&rdquo; Angel Issa, global head of corporate development and strategic investments at Nomura, said.
&quot;We look forward to leveraging Fnality&rsquo;s technology and expertise to continue delivering differentiated value to our clients and partners globally,&quot; Issa added.

Originally known as the Utility Settlement Coin, Fnality tokenizes funds deposited at a central bank and enables the settlement of DLT-based transactions with on-chain digital currency.
&quot;We at Fnality are excited to draw on Nomura&rsquo;s extensive experience in capital markets across Japan, the U.S., and Europe as we expand beyond the UK,&quot; Fnality CEO Rohomaios Ram said.
Fnality&#39;s other investors include Bank of New York Mellon (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bk#NYSE">BK</a>), Banco Santander (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/san#NYSE">SAN</a>), Barclays (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>), CIBC (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cm#NYSE">CM</a>), Commerzbank (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crzby#OTC">CRZBY</a>), Credit Suisse (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cs#NYSE">CS</a>), Euroclear, ING Groep (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ing#NYSE">ING</a>), KBC Groep (EBR: KBC), Lloyds Banking Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lyg#NYSE">LYG</a>), Mizuho Financial Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mfg#NYSE">MFG</a>), MUFG Group (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/mufg#NYSE">MUFG</a>), Nasdaq Inc.

Why It Matters: After Mizuho, MUFG, and SMBC, Nomura is the fourth Japanese company to back Fnality.
Japan has emerged as one of the most successful countries when it comes to security token issuances.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/22/05/27182986/nomura-brings-in-its-first-bitcoin-derivatives-just-as-crypto-market-tumbles">Nomura</a>, which has been active in the blockchain and capital markets for several years now, also founded Boostry, which offers a tokenization platform used for bonds and other securities. It also established Laser Digital Holdings, a company that deals in digital assets, in Switzerland.
What&#39;s Next: Since HM Treasury has formally recognized Fnality as a payments system, it is anticipated to introduce its first currency, the British Pound, next month, followed by Euros, U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, and Japanese Yen.
Fnality is reportedly progressing with its digital euro effort, which was supported by an investment made by Euroclear earlier this year.
The necessity for settlement with cash on a ledger in central bank money will become more pressing as security token issuances progress further.

Morning Brief: Top Financial Stories Dominating on Monday, May 23

A single portfolio manager at&nbsp;Capital Group&nbsp;caused an &euro;8 billion sell-off of European bank stocks this year following the Ukraine crisis and global recession concerns,&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.ft.com/content/57d318ca-19bd-44f5-b7b3-ca25f9ec7270" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">the Financial Times reports</a>.&nbsp;
Capital, until recently, had been one of the few active investors backing European bank stocks, which had been marred after a decade of depressed profitability, misconduct scandals, and market share losses as they restructured after the financial crisis.&nbsp;
Capital had built up large, top-five stakes in lenders, including&nbsp;Barclays PLC&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bcs#NYSE">BCS</a>),&nbsp;Deutsche Bank&nbsp;(NYSE:&nbsp;<a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/db#NYSE" style="color:#4a6ee0; background:transparent; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt" target="_blank">DB</a>),&nbsp;Commerzbank AG&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crzby#OTC">CRZBY</a>),&nbsp;Societe Generale&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/scgly#OTC">SCGLY</a>), UniCredit, Santander,&nbsp;BNP Paribas&nbsp;(OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpzy#OTC">BNPZY</a>), and&nbsp;UBS Group AG&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ubs#NYSE">UBS</a>).
The drop in the European Stoxx and FTSE bank benchmark indices by 20% and 14% restored the belief in investors that European banks were inherently undervalued.
Portfolio manager Nick Grace had earned good returns as the global economy recovered from the initial shock of Covid-19, and central banks started to raise rates meaningfully for the first time in a decade.&nbsp;
Grace bet that European lenders were undervalued and traded at an unfairly steep discount to the book value of their assets and were poised to generate billions more in profits as interest rates rose, improving loan margins.&nbsp;
Grace and other managers hoped that a long-awaited consolidation would generate value through cross-border and domestic mergers.&nbsp;
But concerns over rising inflation and falling growth sparked by Russia&rsquo;s invasion of Ukraine pushed Grace and some of his fellow Capital managers to sell &euro;8.1 billion of those banks&rsquo; shares.

Top News In Fintech And Beyond For April 22, 2022

Retail interest in the crypto market wains as Google searches for Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>)&nbsp;has plummeted to lows not seen in over a year. In addition, Crypto Fear and Greed Index is at 27, which is classified as &lsquo;Fear&rsquo; levels and further indicates negative sentiment. Historically, low a significantly low interest from retail has created profitable buying opportunities.
Despite retail being fearful and uninterested, institutional adoption continues as the second-largest listed bank in Germany, Commerzbank (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/crzby#OTC">CRZBY</a>), has now applied for a local crypto license. This would allow it to provide exchange and crypto asset services and become the first major bank in Germany to make this step.
According to recent data released by a jobs platform, London is a world leader in cryptocurrency. This platform revealed the number of employers currently seeking staff in the crypto industry, which showed the US as the highest number of vacancies at 3,893 with the UK as second with 954 vacancies - most of these roles are based in London. Canada came in at third with 386 current vacancies. After the UK recently displayed plans to become the global hub for crypto, this data is a promising sign. We are seeing a series of high-profile departures from traditional finance sector to the crypto space as crypto is transforming countless sectors with innovative products.
