DBS Survey: 88% of Large Enterprises Already Use or Pilot Tokenized Currencies, Stablecoins Most Common

TechFlow, Oct. 28 — According to CoinDesk, DBS commissioned EY to survey 422 senior finance leaders at large enterprises (each with annual revenue exceeding $500 million) across 11 markets. The results showed that 88% of respondents already use or are piloting tokenized currencies, including 24% that have deployed at scale, 43% with limited rollouts in certain markets, and 21% in pilot or proof-of-concept stages.

Among the tools used or planned for adoption, stablecoins account for 63%, tokenized deposits for 53%, and tokenized money market funds for 52%. 71% of respondents said real-time cross-border payments have already improved or are expected to improve within two years. Regulatory uncertainty, security risks, and system integration challenges remain key barriers, and about 64% of respondents want banks to serve as a unified gateway to the tokenized currency ecosystem.
