🇬🇧 The UK is getting serious about tokenized gold.
The FCA is developing a regulatory framework for tokenized gold and exploring its use as collateral in wholesale markets.
This matters because the UK handles around 70% of global OTC gold trading. If even part of that liquidity moves on-chain, gold could evolve from a traditional store of value into programmable collateral for DeFi and financial markets.
The UK expects tokenization to add around $44B to its economy by 2035, while its first tokenized government bond could arrive in early 2027.
For traders, the real question is:
Which RWA and DeFi protocols capture the liquidity first? 👀
