LSEG Unveils Plans for 24/5 Trading System and Tokenized Equity Products
The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) has outlined plans to launch a new trading system called LSEG24, which will enable 24/5 trading. The system is expected to begin in the first half of 2027.
LSEG is also building a digital securities depository and tokenized equity products. The group is partnering with Kraken to list on its platform and has signed an MOU with HSBC for an interoperable connection.
The plans arrive as exchanges and brokers test different ways to connect conventional shares with blockchain networks. Tokenized equities are moving into regulated markets, but ownership structure remains important, as a blockchain token does not automatically provide voting rights or dividends.
