UK regulators to prepare tokenized gold framework: Report
Extracto:The UK's Financial Conduct Authority has reportedly held talks with banks and industry participants over potential rules for tokenized gold, including its use as collateral in wholesale markets, according to the Financial Times. The regulator is preparing to outline new regulatory standards for the asset class. London, the world's largest over-the-counter gold trading hub, accounts for roughly 70% of global notional gold trading volume. The discussions are part of a broader UK push to expand tokenized financial markets; a government-backed task force estimates tokenization could add £33 billion ($44 billion) to annual economic output by 2035. The roadmap also targets the first tokenized government bond by early 2027 and seeks to make tokenized securities usable for trading, settlement, and collateral.
