UK outlines tokenized finance roadmap aimed at £33 billion yearly boost
The government roadmap argues that payment infrastructure must evolve to support real time settlement of tokenized assets, with industry leaders calling it a key prerequisite.
The UK has laid out a roadmap for tokenized finance, targeting a projected 33 billion pounds in annual economic gains, The Block reports.
According to industry leaders cited by The Block, the shift to tokenized assets will require upgrades to payments infrastructure so settlement can occur in real time rather than through legacy processing.
The roadmap places emphasis on aligning payment rails with the emerging tokenized asset ecosystem, positioning infrastructure readiness as an important step for realizing the broader potential of the market.
The Block summarizes the view that payment and settlement capabilities are central to scaling tokenized finance and capturing the expected benefits.
