The London Stock Exchange (LSE) plans to launch UK tokenized equity structures and has entered a strategic partnership with Payward, a unified financial infrastructure platform and parent company to global digital asset platforms, to support the initiative.
The partnership will explore how regulated market infrastructure can integrate with on-chain distribution networks. According to the announcement, the goal is to create a rights-preserving framework for tokenized public equities that broadens investor access and gives corporate issuers new routes to capital, while preserving core shareholder rights tied to traditional public equity.
The initiative marks a convergence between traditional capital markets infrastructure and digital-native, on-chain distribution systems, according to the source.
