BPX, the UK FCA-authorised institutional venue for issuing, trading and lending traditional and tokenised alternative assets, has announced that Investec has become the first member of its digital securities marketplace. This milestone marks the beginning of institutional participation as BPX moves towards live market operations, with additional institutions progressing through onboarding.

Investec will connect to BPX through its electronic trading platform ZebrA-X, which provides clients with a single point of access to multiple trading venues and liquidity pools. The integration will enable Investec’s clients to access BPX’s securities marketplace through a unified electronic environment whilst maintaining familiar trading workflows. BPX is among a select group of firms admitted to the joint Bank of England and FCA Digital Securities Sandbox, where it is developing infrastructure to support digital assets and helping to lay the foundations for a more efficient, transparent and digitally native market structure.
