Bank of England and FCA set out shared vision for tokenization

The Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority have launched a joint Call for Input to advance tokenization in UK financial markets. The initiative seeks industry feedback on rules and infrastructure changes. It aims to shift tokenization from pilots to full production.

The regulators outlined plans to extend settlement infrastructure toward near-24/7 operations. This move prepares markets for broader adoption of tokenized assets. Officials said the changes would support efficiency and innovation in finance.
