ClearToken Joins Bank Of England Digital Securities Sandbox

ClearToken has been officially accepted into the Bank of England’s Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS) to operate as a Digital Securities Depository. This milestone allows the firm to provide tokenized versions of existing securities, enabling intraday repo settlement that eliminates traditional batch processing and end-of-day cut-offs. By facilitating settlement throughout the day, institutions can borrow against collateral more efficiently, significantly reducing financing costs. At launch, the platform will support FTSE 350 equities, GBP government debt, and various corporate bonds, with plans to expand into private funds and commodities. CEO Ben Santos-Stephens emphasized that the move addresses the critical infrastructure gap in tokenization, specifically regarding settlement, collateral mobility, and payments. ClearToken holds UK permissions for these pillars, including authorization for the cash leg of transactions. This integration into the DSS represents a major step in bridging the gap between digital innovation and regulated financial markets within the UK.

ClearToken CSD approved for live activity in UK Digital Securities Sandbox

ClearToken CSD has secured Gate 2 approval from the Bank of England to conduct live transactions within the UK’s Digital Securities Sandbox, marking it as the first non-bank entity to achieve this milestone. This regulatory clearance allows the startup to issue and settle tokenized versions of existing securities, including FTSE 350 equities, GBP government debt, and corporate bonds. By enabling 24/7 settlement, ClearToken aims to facilitate intraday repo and collateralized borrowing, significantly reducing settlement times from days to hours. This development is particularly notable as it grants ClearToken a broader operational scope than HSBC, which previously received Gate 2 approval for its digital gilt issuance platform. The firm intends to eventually expand its services to include global public equities, private funds, physical commodities, and digital assets. This move represents a critical step in the UK's efforts to modernize financial market infrastructure through distributed ledger technology. The integration of such capabilities into the sandbox environment underscores the growing institutional appetite for efficient, blockchain-based settlement solutions in traditional finance.

ClearToken Offers Regulated Stablecoin FX, Tokenised Settlement

ClearToken has partnered with the Canton Network to deploy three Daml-based Digital Asset Platforms—CT Register, CT Pay, and CT Settle—to provide institutional-grade settlement infrastructure. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between regulated financial market infrastructure and the rapidly growing $315 billion stablecoin market. By leveraging ClearToken’s UK FCA-authorised status and Canton’s privacy-enabled blockchain architecture, the platforms facilitate atomic Delivery-versus-Payment (DvP) and Payment-versus-Payment (PvP) settlement. The infrastructure supports a diverse range of assets, including fiat, tokenised deposits, stablecoins, and cryptocurrencies. This development is significant as it addresses the lack of post-trade infrastructure for stablecoin FX, which currently lacks the equivalent of traditional market settlement standards. ClearToken is also pursuing Bank of England authorisation for its fourth service, CT Clear, to further reduce counterparty risk. This integration allows institutions to perform end-to-end tokenized asset lifecycle management within a single regulated environment.

ClearToken Launches Regulated Stablecoin FX and Tokenised…

ClearToken has officially launched its regulated infrastructure for stablecoin foreign exchange and tokenized settlement on the Canton Network. This platform enables institutional participants to execute atomic settlement of stablecoin-based FX trades, significantly reducing counterparty risk and operational friction. By integrating with three institutional decentralized applications, ClearToken facilitates a seamless bridge between traditional financial workflows and distributed ledger technology. The initiative leverages the interoperability of the Canton Network to ensure that regulated entities can maintain compliance while accessing the efficiency of blockchain-based settlement. This development marks a critical step in the institutional adoption of stablecoins for cross-border payments and liquidity management. As financial institutions increasingly seek to modernize legacy settlement systems, ClearToken provides a robust framework that addresses the demand for transparency and regulatory oversight. The successful deployment underscores the growing trend of private, permissioned blockchains becoming the preferred environment for high-value institutional asset tokenization.
