LSE Partners with Kraken Parent to Explore Tokenized Equities

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has partnered with Payward, the parent company of Kraken, to explore integrating regulated capital markets infrastructure with blockchain-based ecosystems.

The partnership aims to examine wallet-based access, blockchain infrastructure, and connectivity between on-chain networks and the LSE's regulated market ecosystem.

One key aspect of the partnership is the potential listing and trading of xStocks on LSE 24, a 24-hour trading venue operated by the London Stock Exchange.

The proposed arrangement would connect blockchain-based financial products with established exchange infrastructure, potentially creating a more direct link between digital-asset technology and traditional capital markets.
