The London Stock Exchange platform said on Sept. 1 that it plans to introduce a UK tokenized equity structure and has entered a partnership with financial infrastructure platform Payward. The effort will examine how regulated market infrastructure and digitally native distribution models can support the development of tokenized public equity markets.
According to the announcement, the plan is intended to broaden access to capital markets while keeping shareholder rights, investor protections, and governance standards that already apply in existing public markets. The two sides will focus on how digital wallet interactions can work in this setting, how on-chain ecosystems can connect with traditional regulated capital markets, and how public and private blockchains could be used in securities markets while meeting requirements such as anti-money laundering controls and operational resilience.
The London Stock Exchange platform also said that, subject to regulatory approval, it plans to list and trade xStocks on its 24-hour trading venue, LSE 24, in 2027.
