The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has partnered with Payward, parent company of Kraken, to bring shares of the 100 largest LSE-listed companies onto the xStocks tokenization framework.

This move will allow eligible investors across more than 110 countries to access tokenized versions of UK-listed companies through supported centralized exchanges and self-custody wallets.

The partnership also plans to support trading on the LSE's planned 24-hour venue, subject to regulatory approval.
