Bank of England Launches Synchronisation Lab for Tokenized Settlements

[bonk]

The BoE is testing synchronized, atomic settlement of tokenized assets in British pounds as part of its RTGS modernization. 18 companies—including banks, fintechs, and Web3 firms like Chainlink—will explore delivery-versus-payment, collateral optimization, and digital-money issuance in a non-live, six-month pilot starting spring 2026.

The goal? Validate designs for interoperability between central bank money and tokenized assets and inform potential live RTGS synchronization in the future.
