Subscribe to our newsletter

BPX has received regulatory authorisation from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to operate as a Multilateral Trading Facility (MTF), Alternative Investment Fund Manager (AIFM), Cryptoasset Exchange, and Custodian Wallet Provider. These approvals support BPX’s plan to build an institutional-grade, fully integrated marketplace for the full lifecycle of securities – including issuance, trading, and collateralised lending – covering both traditional and tokenised assets.

The company has also become the only FCA-authorised trading venue to pass Gate 1 of the Bank of England and FCA’s Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS). With regulatory permissions secured, BPX is now preparing for live operations and is engaging institutional participants ahead of its inaugural transaction. Its distributed ledger-based platform aims to enhance access and liquidity for issuers and investors by enabling scalable tokenisation and broadening capital market opportunities.
