Bank of England and FCA Open Consultation on UK Tokenized Wholesale Markets
On May 26, 2026, the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority published a joint consultation setting out a shared approach to tokenized wholesale financial markets in the UK. The Call for Input seeks views on tokenized assets, DLT-based settlement and collateral processes, and prudential treatment, as regulators also reiterated plans linked to a 2028 synchronization service and a pilot tokenized gilt (DIGIT).
