We would like to share a short bio about Steve and you will likely see why he will be so vital to our project moving forward.

🏢On 3rd April 2024, the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority issued a joint consultation paper setting out their proposals to implement and operate the Digital Securities Sandbox(DSS).

🧑‍💻The DSS is a regime that will allow firms to use developing technology, such as distributed ledger technology (DLT), in the issuance, trading and settlement of securities such as shares and bonds. Firms that successfully apply for the DSS will be able to operate under a set of rules and regulations that has been modified to facilitate this. The DSS lasts for five years and will help regulators design a permanent technology friendly regime for the securities market.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑The CryptoUK regulation working group co-led by CMS and CurveBlock have reviewed the consultation and we have responded on behalf of the CryptoUK members.
