Germany's Commerzbank and multinational conglomerate Thyssenkrupp successfully conducted a foreign exchange transaction on a blockchain platform, Reuters reported Thursday.
Thyssenkrupp transferred 500,000 euros using R3's Corda platform through a EUR/PLN FX Forward deal, or a contract locking in an exchange rate between the euro and the Polish zloty at some point in the future. Because the blockchain used will store the entire transaction as a single immutable record, neither the corporation nor Commerzbank need to worry about transaction reconciliation, the news organization said.

That is because confirmation of the deal was sent immediately to Thyssenkrupp, according to the report. Future deals conducted on a blockchain will similarly be confirmed immediately, which will cut down on both delays and manual errors caused by the current reconciliation process.
Commerzbank manager Nikolaus Giesbert said in a statement that reconciliation is "a major issue for banks" when it comes to foreign exchange trading. He continued:
"Significant resources are dedicated to resolving the issues that occur during the matching process. This deal demonstrates how the use of distributed ledger (blockchain) can transform and digitalise the processes in this space."
Despite the trial's success, Commerzbank wants to continue studying the technology, according to Reuters. In particular, the "technical, regulatory and legal requirements need to be further developed" in order to fully realize the "efficiency benefits of using blockchain."

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
