U.K. regulators target post-trade tokenization in roadmap after 123 responses

  • FCA and Bank of England will develop a wholesale tokenization roadmap.
  • Most of 123 respondents identified post-trade collateral movement as the main opportunity.
  • FCA launched a separate consultation on tokenized gold following industry feedback.

The U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Bank of England plan to publish a joint roadmap for wholesale tokenization later this year after receiving 123 consultation responses. Most respondents identified post-trade processes, particularly the movement of collateral between parties, as the main opportunity for adoption. The FCA also opened a separate consultation on tokenized gold as it examines distributed ledger technology across a broader range of wholesale financial markets. The initiative comes as European financial firms press lawmakers to ease proposed limits on assets admitted to distributed ledger technology infrastructure.
