FCA and Bank of England set out a shared vision for tokenisation in wholesale markets
The two UK authorities publish a joint view, followed by an FCA feedback statement on tokenisation in wholesale markets.
Key points
- The FCA and the Bank published a shared vision for wholesale tokenisation.
- The FCA later issued feedback statement FS26/1.
The FCA and the Bank of England have set out a shared vision for tokenisation in UK wholesale markets. The FCA subsequently published FS26/1, a feedback statement on tokenisation in wholesale markets.
Joint statements reduce the risk of firms building to one regulator's expectations and being caught by the other's.
The Democratize view
Coordination between the two UK authorities is a competitive advantage. It should be used.
Opinion of the Democratize editorial team.
What to watch: Concrete milestones attached to the vision.
