Background
For centuries London was the centre of global trade and finance. We consider that the future is digital where equities, bonds and real world assets exist as tokens - tradeable 24/7, instantly, globally.
We consider stablecoins to be the basis of a tokenised economy; the US has ruled out CBDCs and is leaning into stablecoins. The UK is at a crossroads and we believe it will fall behind without a strategy. This is a question of national interest to preserve the competitiveness of the City and sterling’s global standing.
