According to CoinMeta, Ethereum infrastructure company Consensys and British digital asset market infrastructure company Cleartoken have announced a strategic partnership to provide 24/7 tokenized asset clearing and settlement infrastructure for banks, securities firms, and asset management institutions. The two parties will combine the blockchain technology and cross-chain interoperability of Consensys with the regulated market infrastructure of Cleartoken to support 24/7 settlement between tokenized securities and fiat currencies, tokenized deposits, and stablecoins. Cleartoken's central securities depository has been approved for the second phase of the Bank of England's digital securities sandbox (Gate 2), but the related clearing services still require authorization from the Bank of England.
