FCA and Bank of England set out shared vision for tokenisation in UK wholesale markets
The Financial Conduct Authority and the Bank of England have published a joint vision to accelerate tokenisation in UK wholesale markets by clarifying regulatory frameworks for prudential treatment, collateral, and settlement infrastructure. The regulators are seeking industry feedback by 3 July 2026 on how existing rules and distributed ledger technology can be adapted to lower costs, reduce risk, and support near 24/7 settlement. This collaborative approach will guide the transition from current pilots to production, ensuring a unified roadmap for digital asset issuance and trading.
