London Stock Exchange Plans to Launch On-Chain Settlement Service for Institutional Investors

BlockBeats News, February 13th, according to Cryptopolitan, the London Stock Exchange Group announced on Thursday its plan to launch an on-chain settlement service for institutional investors, named LSEG Digital Securities Custody Service, which will connect the traditional securities market with blockchain networks, supporting the trading and settlement of tokenized bonds, stocks, and private market assets while remaining interoperable with existing infrastructure.

The system will be compatible with multiple blockchain networks, with the initial delivery target set for 2026, pending regulatory approval. LSEG has already operated a blockchain platform for private funds on Microsoft Azure, and this new system is a further extension of its digital asset strategy.
