U.K. Pushes Tokenized Assets to Live Markets | Bitcoin and Crypto News

The U.K. government is racing to launch tokenized assets like repo, fixed income, and funds into live markets within 12 months, naming Ripple as a key bridge between traditional finance and crypto. This bold move could add $44 billion to annual GDP and $14 billion in tax revenue over a decade. A hybrid model—combining permissionless blockchains for liquidity with permissioned networks for institutions—is being eyed, exemplified by BlackRock’s Ethereum-based tokenized fund. While public chains face settlement-finality risks, partnerships like Ripple’s with Hidden Road and Santander U.K. show deep institutional adoption. The U.K. is on track to match U.S. stablecoin regulation by 2027, and may even outpace it in wholesale markets, with new rules launching next year under the Financial Services and Markets Act—though industry still sees U.K. approvals as slower than in the U.S. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
