HM Treasury Spotlights Hedera as UK Tokenization Benchmark in £33 Billion Wholesale Markets Push

Hedera is highlighted as the UK’s live tokenised collateral benchmark in a landmark £33 billion wholesale markets push. The UK government’s Wholesale Digital Markets Champion report spotlights Hedera for its role in tokenized FX trades using tokenized real-world assets as collateral, conducted by Lloyds Bank, Aberdeen Investments, and Archax on Hedera. The initiative aims to scale tokenization across wholesale markets with nine action groups, targeting a spring 2027 tokenized repo trial and a July 2027 follow-up report, underscoring Hedera’s regulatory-ready rails and real-time settlement capabilities.
