⚡️ Momentum is building towards wholesale digital markets 🌐 Following on from the government's appointment of Christopher Woolard CBE as Wholesale Digital Markets Champion, it is encouraging to see the Bank of England and Financial Conduct Authority setting out a shared vision for how UK financial firms can adopt tokenisation with greater confidence. 📄 This picks up key issues featured in our letter from Innovate Finance's Digital Pound Foundation to regulators earlier this year on the use of tokenised assets as collateral and calling for a financial regulatory environment that keeps pace with technological developments. We're responding to this Call for Evidence with our Digital Pound Foundation members inputting on the necessary regulation and infrastructure that will underpin the future of UK wholesale markets.
