ClearToken, the clearing house for digital markets, has been accepted into the Bank of England’s Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS), marking a significant milestone in its journey to becoming a Digital Securities Depository (DSD). The DSS, overseen by the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), provides a regulatory framework for testing innovative technologies in a live environment. ClearToken’s successful passage through “Gate 1” demonstrates its commitment to developing the financial market infrastructure (FMI) essential for the evolution of digital asset and tokenisation markets, according to the company.

ClearToken emphasises the importance of robust legal and regulatory systems in enabling market stability, settlement finality, and the institutional adoption of digital assets. Looking ahead, ClearToken will continue testing its DSD platform and shortly plans to release a white paper on the regulatory impacts of a DSD on digital asset markets.
