UK opens tokenized securities consultation with July 3 deadline, unveils roadmap as sandbox testing proceeds
UK regulators have set a firm deadline for industry feedback as they publish a roadmap and continue live testing to integrate tokenized assets into wholesale finance.
On May 18, UK financial regulators launched a consultation on tokenized securities and set a response deadline of July 3, 2026, requesting industry input on how digital securities should be integrated into wholesale markets [1] [2].
The Financial Conduct Authority and the Bank of England published a joint roadmap stating the national payments network is technically and operationally ready to support tokenized assets, and the plan includes provisions for institutional use of stablecoins and a phased transition toward 24/7 settlement operations [3] [4].
The consultation seeks views on secure integration across securities trading, settlement systems and collateral management, while a Digital Securities Sandbox remains live with 16 firms progressing to operational testing and a more comprehensive roadmap for wholesale market digitalization anticipated later in 2026 [2] [1].
Responses are due by July 3, 2026; regulators intend to use consultation feedback alongside ongoing sandbox testing to inform the fuller 2026 roadmap for tokenizing wholesale financial infrastructure [1] [4] [2].
