Citi Digital Assets
Citi’s Digital Assets teams are pioneering digital assets solutions across the firm with a unified strategic approach and next generation of blockchain technology infrastructure. These advanced solutions enhance Citi’s products and services including digital money, trade, securities, custody, asset servicing and collateral mobility.
Citi Integrated Digital Assets Platform (CIDAP)
Citi is leveraging blockchain technology enabled by Citi Integrated Digital Assets Platform (CIDAP) to develop secure, efficient, and innovative digital asset solutions through a single integrated platform.
CIDAP, developed by Citi Innovation Labs, is Citi’s foundational infrastructure for enabling the future of regulated digital finance. It powers the issuance, transfer, custody, and programmability of tokenized assets — across both public and private blockchains — enabling Citi clients to unlock new efficiencies in settlement, liquidity, and capital markets innovation.
From tokenized deposits to private equity funds and cross-border payments, CIDAP was built to support the evolving needs of global institutions.
Here are some of the top capabilities of CIDAP: asset tokenization, smart contracts orchestration, digital assets custody, foreign exchange (FX) settlement and more.
