LSE Partners with Payward to Tokenize 100 UK Blue Chips
The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has partnered with Payward, parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, to tokenize 100 UK blue-chip companies through the xStocks framework.
The products will become available within weeks to eligible investors in more than 110 countries. However, UK-based investors will not be among them due to regulatory restrictions.
The partnership gives Payward a route into established exchange infrastructure and allows overseas users continuous onchain access to British blue chips while the products remain unavailable in their home market.
