Subscribe to our newsletter

BPX, the UK FCA-authorised institutional venue for alternative assets, has appointed Charles McManus as an Advisor. McManus, the co-founder and former CEO of ClearBank, joins the firm to provide strategic guidance on scaling regulated financial infrastructure. His arrival coincides with a broader structural shift in global finance toward tokenised and decentralised models driven by blockchain and AI.

The firm is currently developing a digital securities marketplace designed to integrate traditional finance with digital innovation. As part of this process, BPX is participating in the Digital Securities Sandbox, a joint initiative by the Bank of England and the FCA. This environment allows the company to test and refine its infrastructure for issuing and trading both traditional and tokenised assets.

Through his advisory role, McManus will support BPX in navigating regulatory frameworks and expanding its market presence. The appointment strengthens the firm’s efforts to build safe, scalable systems for institutional participation in the evolving digital ecosystem. Working alongside regulators and industry partners, BPX aims to define the future architecture of global financial market models.
