Uber is running a pilot that uses tokenization and blockchain-based infrastructure to invest its corporate cash while keeping funds available for payments. According to the reports, the arrangement involves HSBC and Franklin Templeton and is designed to let Uber continue investing in money-market-style products while still accessing liquidity when needed, including outside standard market hours.
The outlets emphasize different aspects of the same test. CoinDesk highlights the operational feature that Uber can invest idle cash in money market products while accessing funds for payments, even on weekends. Business Line - Home frames the effort as a blockchain-powered treasury trial aimed at improving yields and liquidity amid broader corporate cash-management shifts. Bloomberg focuses on the use of a public blockchain and the weekend-trading angle, describing expectations that similar setups could be adopted by more companies in the months ahead.
