Britain
adopts blockchain technology
and allows the launch of coded boxes
Funds licensed by the British Financial Conduct Authority (FCA)
are now eligible to start developing coded funds.
These funds aim to use blockchain technology to register asset ownership by brokering encrypted codes, with the aim of enhancing asset management.
According to Reuters news agency report.
Coding, also known as retail
is a new step in
the development of the digital fund management field.
By fragmenting assets into smaller units using blockchain technology
more cost-efficient trading and enhanced transparency can be achieved.
In addition
coding opens the door for investors to diversify
their portfolios by providing a wide range of assets.
Under the new directives
Funds licensed
by the UK Financial Conduct Authority are now allowed to
start developing coded funds.
However
these funds are required to focus on core assets and adhere to
existing valuation and reconciliation protocols
In this context
Michelle Skremgor
Chief Executive Officer of
Legal and Public Investment Management and Chair of
a major working group on this initiative
expressed optimism for the future of the symbolic funds.
The technology carried enormous potential
and could redefine
the asset management industry by providing greater liquidity
improving risk management and creating
more customized investment portfolios.
The move comes as part of Britain's strategic efforts to boost liquidity
and competitiveness in the asset management sector, especially in
the post-Brexit period.
At the end of October
The UK government announced its plan to enact legislation to
regulate the country's cryptocurrency sector, in response to
improving bitcoin performance after the collapse of the "FTX" market.
The proposed plan requires companies
operating in the cryptocurrency industry to obtain a licence
from the Financial Supervisory Authority (FCA)
before providing their services to consumers.
According to the forthcoming regulations
It will address a range of activities related to encrypted assets, including
Trade
and save cryptocurrencies and invest in them
Exchange Services
Services based on distributed ledger technology (DLT)
which is the basis for cryptocurrencies.
In early October
Helen Boyd, head of capital markets at the FCA
unveiled His Majesty's Treasury plans to launch
a digital financial asset testing fund at the end of the first quarter of 2024.
The move aims to support technology companies in their early stages of
developing their products in the field of digital financial assets.
This fund aims to provide
an experimental environment for companies to test
and improve their products and explore the benefits of
new technologies in the field of cryptocurrency assets.
