Bank of England sets out tokenisation-led finance modernisation plan, stablecoin rules draft due in June
Bank of England Deputy Governor Sarah Breeden set out a strategy to modernise Britain’s financial system with tokenisation at its core.

She said distributed ledger technology could cut intermediaries and speed up payments, and that smart contracts could raise efficiency.
