ClearToken Wins Approval From U.K.'s FCA for Digital Asset Settlement Service
ClearToken has received authorization from the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to launch CT Settle, a delivery-versus-payment (DvP) settlement system designed for digital assets, stablecoins, and fiat currencies. This innovative platform addresses significant industry challenges such as capital inefficiency resulting from pre-funding trades on exchanges and OTC markets. CT Settle allows for simultaneous transfers of assets and payments, effectively minimizing counterparty risk while increasing liquidity for institutional traders. By mirroring traditional market structures like the Continuous Linked Settlement (CLS) in foreign exchange, ClearToken aims to build a regulated clearing and settlement infrastructure for digital markets. In addition to CT Settle, the company plans to introduce a central counterparty clearing house (CCP) subject to Bank of England approval, and to extend its offerings to tokenized securities through the U.K.’s Digital Securities Sandbox.
