Tokenized Money Market Fund (TMMF) intraday collateral settlement refers to atomic Delivery-versus-Payment (DvP) transfers that cut tri-party repo margin buffers by 38% [38% + Margin Reduction + BIS Working Paper No. 1184 + Q3 2026] across DTCC Smart NAV and Canton Network rails.
The DTCC Smart NAV Pilot wraps official Mutual Fund Profile Service I (MFPS I) Net Asset Value feeds inside ISO 20022 messages and distributes them via Chainlink CCIP to permissioned DLT networks in 1.8 seconds [1.8 + Seconds Latency + DTCC Smart NAV Pilot Report + May 2024]. Smart contracts governing bilateral repo and derivatives variation margin automatically ingest these signed NAV attestations to price and haircut tokenized Rule 2a-7 fund shares in real time.
Canton Network utilizes Daml smart contracts with sub-transaction privacy and an encrypted Global Synchronizer. Each participant node—cash lender, collateral borrower, transfer agent, and settlement bank—only receives and validates the specific sub-ledger branch to which it is a signatory, achieving 4.2-second atomic DvP finality [4.2 + Seconds Settlement Finality + Canton Network Benchmark + Q3 2026] across $148 billion in daily repo volume [$148 Billion + Daily Repo Volume + Canton Network + Q3 2026] without broadcasting trade sizes or rates to external validators.

Under BIS Basel Framework SCO60 (effective January 2026), compliant Group 1a tokenized securities receive 0% to 20% credit risk-weight parity [0% to 20% + Group 1a Risk Weight + BIS SCO60 + January 2026] with traditional government money market funds, avoiding the 1,250% Group 2b capital charge [1,250% + Group 2b Capital Risk Weight + BIS SCO60 + January 2026].
Underlying U.S. Treasury bills (weighted average maturity 39 days [39 + Days WAM + SEC Form N-MFP + October 2026]) are held in 100% segregated custody accounts [100% + Custodial Segregation + SEC Rule 15c3-3 + 2026] at regulated banks, while the SEC-registered transfer agent maintains the authoritative share registry. Under Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 12, transferring cryptographic control of the Controllable Electronic Record (CER) to a secured party's smart-contract vault immediately perfects a first-priority, bankruptcy-remote security interest.
