Abstract

Systems and method relating to a distributed ledger currency rail are provided. A computer-implemented method includes receiving a funds transfer request message including an amount, a sender, and a recipient; examining the funds transfer request message to identify a sending financial institution associated with the sender and a receiving financial institution associated with the recipient; and determining whether the sending financial institution and the receiving financial institution each operates a node on a permissioned distributed ledger network. The method further includes, in response to determining that the sending financial institution and the receiving financial institution each operates a node on the permissioned distributed ledger network, routing the funds transfer request message to the permissioned distributed ledger network so as to facilitate the funds transfer via digital cash states issued to the sending financial institution and the receiving financial institution in exchange for fiat currency cash.
