DRIVING CAPITAL MARKETS INNOVATION

What is tokenisation?

Tokenisation is the process of creating digital representations of existing assets, or issuing new assets, as tokens on a blockchain. This on-chain record allows assets like cash, equities, bonds, commodities, money market funds, debt and much more to be held, traded, and managed in a digital form. By leveraging blockchain technology, tokenisation unlocks several benefits:

As blockchain is adopted throughout capital markets, tokenisation unlocks liquidity, presents new functionality and ways to manage capital, and streamlines and automates operations.

SAFEGUARDING SUPPORT

Integrating tokenisation and custody

At Archax, we recognise that tokenisation and custody go hand in hand. The ability to create digital representations of real-world assets is powerful, but ensuring those assets are sufficiently safeguarded is equally important. Archax, as both a tokeniser and regulated custodian, offers a complete solution that combines the benefits of tokenisation with the security of institutional-grade custody.

Our integrated solution is especially valuable for use cases such as stablecoins, where custody of the underlying assets alongside the tokens can enhance both stability and transparency. Additionally, businesses looking to tokenise a variety of assets can benefit from our chain-agnostic platform, which currently supports multiple protocols, with the ability to integrate more as needed.

SHAPING THE FUTURE OF FINANCIAL MARKETS

Regulatory Considerations and Developments in the UK

The UK has become a global leader in supporting blockchain and tokenisation initiatives, thanks in part to the proactive regulatory approach taken by the FCA. The FCA has implemented regulatory sandboxes to allow businesses to test new tokenisation use cases in a controlled environment, ensuring compliance whilst fostering innovation.

One key area of focus for the FCA is ensuring global interoperability in tokenisation frameworks. By participating in initiatives such as the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Project Guardian, the FCA is working to establish common regulatory standards that will enable tokenised assets to be traded across international markets.
