In statements, MetLife voiced its enthusiasm for joining the initiative, which has in the past conducted trials with groups of major financial institutions, including those focused on trade finance and commercial paper trading.
"R3's work has proven how blockchain technology can disrupt how business is done today," Marty Lippert, executive vice president and head of MetLife's global technology and operations organization, said.
The announcement comes amid a larger drive by R3 to position its Corda distributed ledger system as a platform for blockchain applications created by financial institutions.
