UK Finance, a group representing the UK banking and finance sector through its trade association, is <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-15/barclays-citi-are-among-banks-testing-tokenized-deposits-in-uk" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-wpel-link="external">broadening</a> its trial to use a shared ledger for tracking payments made by financial institutions.&nbsp; 
This project will focus on improving and streamlining the processes of business and others in the evolving space of crypto. Major firms involved in the finance sector such as Barclays Plc, Lloyds Banking Group Plc, Citigroup Inc., Mastercard Inc., and Visa Inc. are already participating in the pause trial stage. 
This is a scope of work for the last two months, which is made possible by Quant, a company that works specifically with interoperable blockchain systems. Gilbert Verdian, CEO, of Quant, has already expressed satisfaction with the process and he is expected to release the findings by the end of the month through UK Finance, by August.&nbsp; 
This action will set up a starting position for an operational commercialized system based on central bank digital currencies that is open to all banks. This case alludes to the guide of the UK government’s Technology Working Group that highlights the need for collaboration among stakeholders to reach objectives relating to tokenization.
