- Le London Stock Exchange Group étudie l’intégration de la technologie blockchain.
- La société s'est donnée un an pour enquêter et lancer une plate-forme de négociation alimentée par la blockchain.
- The LSEG is “definitely not building anything around crypto assets, said Murray Roos, a top-level exec.
- Le Nasdaq avait annoncé son intention de lancer un service de garde de crypto-monnaies, mais a suspendu ses projets.
The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has announced that it is currently exploring the viability and usefulness of blockchain technology and aims to debut “an end-to-end digital market ecosystem to raise and transfer capital across asset classes.” The LSE Group is the latest entity to display crypto and blockchain-friendly ambitions, and it seems that the fundamentals cannot be more clear.
Selon un rapport from the Financial Times, Murray Roos, the head of capital markets at the London Stock Exchange Group, confirmed that the firm has given itself a year to look into the possibility of launching a blockchain-powered trading venue. While it was confirmed that the 300-year-old stock exchange is “definitely not building anything around cryptoassets,” the LSE Group is considering the integration of blockchain technology.
“The idea is to use digital technology to make a process that is slicker, smoother, cheaper, and more transparent, and to have it regulated,” Roos said.
Il est également important de mentionner ici que la Bourse de Londres ne veut rien avoir à faire avec la cryptographie mais souhaite que la technologie qui alimente le Bitcoin et d’autres crypto-monnaies améliore l’efficacité des transactions d’actifs traditionnelles, y compris l’achat, la vente et la garde.
The new venture will be led by Julia Hoggett, the head of one of the units within the broader London Stock Exchange group, as per the Financial Times. Roos confirmed that his firm has reached an “inflection point” and has opted to advance plans for integrating blockchain technology.
Roos further added that if everything goes as planned, the LSE Group would become the first large global stock exchange to offer an “end-to-end” blockchain-powered ecosystem to investors.
“The ultimate goal is a global platform that allows participants in all jurisdictions to be able to interact with people in other jurisdictions completely abiding by rules, laws, and regulations, potentially multiple jurisdictions simultaneously, which is something that hasn’t been possible in an analogue world.”
Il est intéressant de noter que le Nasdaq a également révélé son intention de lancer une solution de conservation cryptographique, mais a décidé de suspendre les développements en raison de l'incertitude réglementaire aux États-Unis. Les membres de l'industrie ont réclamé le élection des candidats républicains pour les lois pro-crypto.
