Experience Institutional-Grade Settlement Infrastructure
New York, NY – February 23, 2026
Finance is defined by movement. Capital doesn’t just move — it coordinates.
Across counterparties.
Across custodians.
Across chains.
Across venues.
Across asset classes.
Membrane has secured a second U.S. patent protecting our settlement engine — the infrastructure institutional clients use to coordinate exposure, net obligations before assets move on-chain, and execute across multi-chain environments with precision.
This newly granted patent builds on our 2023 settlement patent and extends protection into credit-aware, exposure-driven workflows, formalizing how institutions coordinate obligations, exchange encrypted transaction packages, and orchestrate settlement.
For institutions operating at scale, that translates into:
- Reduced gross exposure through structured netting
- Clear, real-time visibility into counterparty obligations
- Coordinated execution across custodians and chains
- Infrastructure designed for capital efficiency
- Settlement workflows built to support institutional credit relationships
Two U.S. patents now protect the core framework behind Membrane’s settlement engine.
As institutional participation accelerates across digital asset lending, trading, and tokenized markets, firms operating with structured settlement infrastructure gain measurable operational edge.

We’re proud to continue building this next-gen settlement layer alongside our clients and partners.
