London Stock Exchange Group to pursue on-chain settlement for institutions

The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) announced plans to build an on-chain settlement system for institutional investors. According to Cryptopolitan, the new system is designed to connect traditional financial markets with blockchain networks, enabling large institutions to trade and settle tokenized bonds and stocks while integrated with existing infrastructure. LSEG said it plans to launch the first service within the year but noted that regulatory approval is required.
