The FCA also aims to enable the tokenisation of investment funds as part of its strategy to accelerate digital innovation in the financial sector. The regulator will build on a proportionate regime for digital assets consulted in 2025 and progress a stablecoin-specific cohort in the regulatory sandbox. The FCA has already seen strong uptake, with 158 firms applying for support since April 2025, and has provided “minded to approve” signals to over 200 firms to help them secure funding with greater confidence.
