- US and UK regulators are introducing new rules for tokenised finance.
- The changes aim to support innovation while reducing financial risks.
- Officials said clear rules could help more institutions adopt tokenised assets.
US and UK regulators are moving ahead with new rules to support tokenised finance and digital assets.
The proposals focus on tokenised securities, stablecoins and blockchain-based financial services while keeping existing financial safeguards.
"Tokenisation is an opportunity to modernise financial markets, but it must happen within a clear regulatory framework," officials said.
The UK Treasury plans new laws for digital assets, while US regulators are developing guidance for tokenised financial products.
Both countries said the rules should encourage innovation without weakening consumer protection or financial stability.
Large banks and asset managers are testing tokenised bonds, funds and other financial products as interest in blockchain grows.
Regulators said clearer rules could help tokenised finance move further into mainstream financial markets.
