How the Cosmos Partner Network Accelerates Digital Asset Initiatives

As of mid-2026, only 3.4% of the top 290 banks globally have live tokenized deposit capability, with roughly 21% expected to be live or committed by mid-2027. Although adoption at scale is still early, that doesn't mean banks are sitting on the sidelines.

The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), which provides custody for more than $114 trillion in assets, is building a tokenization service this year with more than 50 financial firms, and Wells Fargo has its own tokenized deposit platform underway. JPMorgan, Citigroup, and BNY have each launched their own tokenized deposit platforms this year. Even so, in June 2026, twelve of the major US banks announced plans for a shared tokenized deposit network through The Clearing House to facilitate 24/7 liquidity movement, cross-border payments, and treasury management.

Cosmos has seen this play out across the banks and financial institutions we work with. We launched the Cosmos Partner Network to help banks accelerate tokenized deposits and digital asset initiatives. The Partner Network, launched with seventeen initial participants, brings together industry service providers across custody, compliance, and infrastructure, with the deep expertise that banks need to move their business forward in a digital-first market. This article covers what the Partner Network means for banks and other financial players moving into tokenization, and who makes up the network's first cohort of partners.

The Cosmos Partner Network

The firms in the Cosmos Partner Network bring deep industry knowledge, global delivery capacity, and proven results to help global financial players accelerate digital asset initiatives through the Cosmos Tokenization Suite and Cosmos digital ledger solutions.

The Cosmos Tokenization Suite gives banks and financial institutions capabilities like 24/7 payment settlement and improved treasury management, along with new use cases such as programmable escrow, fast cash sweeps, and agentic commerce.

The Cosmos Partner Network provides a platform for easy multi-vendor solutions that banks can use to safely and seamlessly offer tokenized deposits to power these new digital use cases. Cosmos provides the tokenization and ledger platform, while Partner Network members deliver the integrated services and products around it, including KYC/KYB verification, custody, and regulatory compliance monitoring. Together, this eliminates the friction of building multi-vendor solutions from scratch.

"Financial institutions understand the potential of tokenization, but it's difficult to move from a pilot to a high-quality, live customer experience. The Cosmos Partner Network brings together the specialized firms that institutions need to modernize their business through tokenization and digital assets, while reducing the complexity of sourcing those providers individually."

The ecosystem of trusted partners can also participate in tokenized deposit initiatives and use cases alongside the financial institutions and banks Cosmos is actively working with.
