The operator of the London Stock Exchange is seeking to provide trading exposure to tokenized UK equities around the clock on weekdays through a partnership with the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, the Financial Times reported, citing Cointelegraph’s account of the development. The proposed service would offer 24/5 access to digital representations of UK-based stocks, extending availability beyond traditional exchange hours. The initiative comes as financial institutions increasingly examine tokenization and develop offerings linked to equities on blockchain-based infrastructure. The report did not provide further details on the assets involved, the planned launch date, or the structure of the partnership. The move would connect a major traditional-market operator with the expanding digital-asset ecosystem, although the proposal remains focused on access to tokenized UK shares rather than conventional share trading hours.
