PANews reported on September 26th that the UK's largest lenders are moving forward with plans to launch tokenized versions of customer deposits next year, according to Global Markets. This move by the banks responds to Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey's call for tokenization technology to be prioritized over stablecoins. The UK Finance Association revealed on Friday that HSBC, NatWest, Lloyds Bank, and others have launched pilot projects using tokenized deposits for payments through online marketplaces. The UK tokenized deposit pilot, which also involves Barclays, Nationwide Building Society, and Santander, will run until mid-2026. The pilot will also test the use of tokenized deposits in mortgage refinancing and digital asset settlements. Although the UK's Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) isn't expected to finalize stablecoin regulations until the end of 2026, the Bank of England has made it clear that banks can experiment with tokenized deposits within the existing regulatory framework. Currently, several major banks are simultaneously researching tokenized deposits and stablecoins. Citigroup's CEO stated in July that tokenized deposits could potentially surpass stablecoins in importance.PANews reported on September 26th that the UK's largest lenders are moving forward with plans to launch tokenized versions of customer deposits next year, according to Global Markets.

BlackRock Increases U.S. Stock Exposure Amid AI Surge

BlackRock Increases U.S. Stock Exposure Amid AI Surge

The post BlackRock Increases U.S. Stock Exposure Amid AI Surge appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: BlackRock significantly increased U.S. stock exposure. AI sector driven gains boost S&P 500 to historic highs. Shift may set a precedent for other major asset managers. BlackRock, the largest asset manager, significantly increased U.S. stock and AI sector exposure, adjusting its $185 billion investment portfolios, according to a recent investment outlook report.. This strategic shift signals strong confidence in U.S. market growth, driven by AI and anticipated Federal Reserve moves, influencing significant fund flows into BlackRock’s ETFs. The reallocation increases U.S. stocks by 2% while reducing holdings in international developed markets. BlackRock’s move reflects confidence in the U.S. stock market’s trajectory, driven by robust earnings and the anticipation of Federal Reserve rate cuts. As a result, billions of dollars have flowed into BlackRock’s ETFs following the portfolio adjustment. “Our increased allocation to U.S. stocks, particularly in the AI sector, is a testament to our confidence in the growth potential of these technologies.” — Larry Fink, CEO, BlackRock The financial markets have responded favorably to this adjustment.

Historically, shifts of this magnitude have influenced broader market behaviors as others follow suit. Market analysts point to the favorable economic environment and technological advancements that are propelling the AI sector’s momentum. The continued growth of AI technologies is…
