UK FCA Releases New DLT Regulations to Support Innovation in Fund Tokenization

Odaily Planet Daily News: According to official sources, the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has officially released new industry guidance, clarifying the standards and requirements for companies to compliantly use Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) within the existing regulatory framework. The new regulations simultaneously optimize fund trading mechanisms, introducing an optional Direct-to-Fund (D2F) model, allowing investors to directly trade traditional and tokenized funds, significantly improving transfer efficiency. These rules were developed jointly by the FCA and the industry, aiming to embrace financial innovation while maintaining regulatory bottom lines, helping the asset management industry reduce costs and increase efficiency, and accelerating the implementation of traditional asset tokenization.
