Key Developments & Data
Britain's largest banking institutions successfully executed the first interbank transfers using tokenized deposits on blockchain rails.
Participating lenders are scheduled to issue 3 digital bonds settled via tokenized deposits in Q1 2027.
Lloyds, NatWest, and Barclays ran mortgage transactions while HSBC tested a programmable deposit system for an online marketplace.
The Bank of England actively favors these bank-issued tokens over private stablecoins because they don't shift liabilities off existing balance sheets.
"In the last 12 months, other jurisdictions have been speaking to us in earnest about what we’ve done, trying to understand how they can now catch up." — Jana Mackintosh
