   <p lang="en" dir="ltr">Sarah Breeden sets out the key findings from our Financial Stability Report, which shows that the outlook for global economic growth remains subdued. However UK banks remain resilient and strong enough to continue supporting households and businesses. <a href="https://t.co/oZoGXYozgq" target="_blank">https://t.co/oZoGXYozgq</a> <a href="https://t.co/vmc8Gv3Qny" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/vmc8Gv3Qny</a></p>— Bank of England (@bankofengland) <a href="https://twitter.com/bankofengland/status/1732356864048865502?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">December 6, 2023</a>

This trend is exemplified by moves from major financial players like <a href="https://crypto.news/hsbc-taps-metaco-for-tokenized-securities-platform/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/hsbc-taps-metaco-for-tokenized-securities-platform/">HSBC</a> venturing into a digital-assets custody service focused on tokenized securities. <a href="https://crypto.news/societe-generale-issues-e10m-in-digital-green-bond-on-ethereum/">Societe Generale</a> has recently executed a €10 million sale of tokenized green bonds on the Ethereum (<a href="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/price/ethereum/">ETH</a>) blockchain.</p> 
<p>However, this growth trajectory raises concerns. The Bank of England’s report cautions that “increasing size could pose risks for the wider financial environment.” The expansion could “increase the interconnectedness of markets for crypto and traditional financial assets (since they are represented on the same ledger) and create direct exposures for systemic institutions.”</p> 
<p>Acknowledging the current limitations of these risks, the Bank of England underlines the necessity of ongoing vigilance and <a href="https://crypto.news/fsb-finally-publishes-global-regulatory-framework-for-crypto-activities/" data-type="link" data-id="https://crypto.news/fsb-finally-publishes-global-regulatory-framework-for-crypto-activities/">global regulatory cooperation</a>. The report asserts, “International coordination can reduce the risks of cross-border spillovers, regulatory arbitrage, and market fragmentation,” echoing the sentiments of lawmakers cheering for a coordinated regulatory approach to fund tokenization.</p>
