Overview
TMX Collateral is a Canton-based collateral management that enables tokenized asset to be used as a collateral for secure funding. TMX acts as a neutral coordination layer between:
- Tokenization platforms (asset issuers and registries)
- Financial institutions (lenders and credit providers)
- Investors (borrowers)
TMX does not provide credit or act as the payment service. As such, all of the cash movement between Financial Institution and Investor or vice versa occur outside the TMX Collateral Platform. TMX Collateral only sending the instruction or emitting events.

Integration Prerequisites

The system must support force transfer that allow authorized parties (issuer, transfer agent, FI) to move tokens from the designated collateral address to the Financial Institution address in the liquidated process under specifc legal conditions.
