Bank of England sets framework for tokenised collateral in central clearing
BoE published formal approach to accepting blockchain-tokenized collateral in central clearing systems. Framework clarifies eligibility, settlement, and custody standards for digital assets used in repo and derivatives clearing.
WHY IT MATTERS
Tokenized collateral infrastructure requires AI-driven settlement automation and real-time risk monitoring. BoE blueprint signals BFSI will rapidly scale DLT infrastructure; early movers in AI collateral management (pricing, settlement automation, counterparty risk) will gain operational edge.
