OCBC (ISIN SG1S04926220) was trading at EUR 20.12 at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. CEST. The bank launched a tokenized deposit solution with Ant International on October 7 for treasury management and liquidity transfers between Singapore and Malaysia, according to The Asian Banker.

Tokenized deposits move beyond trials

The solution allows Ant International to mobilize SGD and USD-denominated tokenized deposits around the clock through its WhaleRTP platform. OCBC said the system is designed to improve working capital management by enabling near-real-time settlements across borders.

The announcement followed two earlier milestones. In April 2026, OCBC and Lion Global Investors launched a tokenized physical gold fund with DigiFT, while in September 2026 OCBC completed Southeast Asia's first cross-border USD tokenized deposit transaction on Swift's ledger, according to The Asian Banker. The October launch gives the strategy a commercial treasury use case rather than a pilot transaction alone.

What does second-quarter profit mean?

OCBC's second-quarter 2026 net profit rose 22.3 percent year over year to a record SGD 2.2 billion, but net interest margin narrowed 22 basis points to 1.70 percent. Total income increased 17.6 percent to SGD 4.2 billion, with non-interest income rising 51.0 percent to SGD 1.9 billion, according to Bondsupermart. The mix matters because trading, investment and insurance income supplied much of the growth while lending spreads remained under pressure.

Three dated developments

In April 2026, OCBC launched the GOLDX token with Lion Global Investors and DigiFT; in September 2026, it completed a cross-border USD tokenized deposit transaction on Swift's ledger; and on October 7, 2026, it launched the Ant International treasury solution, according to The Asian Banker. The sequence shows a progression from tokenized products to cross-border corporate liquidity.

Next reporting date

OCBC is scheduled to report third-quarter results on November 6, 2026, according to The Business Times. That report will test whether non-interest income can continue to offset pressure on net interest margins.

OCBC stock stays tied to earnings mix

For investors, the key tension is visible in the contrast between record earnings and a 1.70 percent net interest margin. OCBC's EUR 20.12 quote at Lang & Schwarz on October 16, 2026, at 10:30 a.m. CEST provides the latest German-market indication; the dated Xetra reference close was not established in the available venue evidence.
