Earlier, the largest UK banks launched a pilot project involving tokenised deposits in British pounds, set to run until mid-2026. This initiative opens up new opportunities for innovative financial products.
The new legal recognition is expected to facilitate broader adoption of cryptocurrencies in everyday financial transactions and enhance the investment appeal of the sector in the UK.
