London Stock Exchange Launches Blockchain Platform for Private Funds

by admin

The post London Stock Exchange Launches Blockchain Platform for Private Funds appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The London Stock Exchange (LSE) has taken a decisive leap into digital finance by launching its own blockchain-powered platform for private funds. This is the first time a major global stock exchange has deployed blockchain infrastructure to transform how markets work.

The new system, called Digital Markets Infrastructure (DMI), covers the full digital asset cycle from issuance and tokenization to post-trade settlement. What sets DMI apart is its interoperability, allowing blockchain networks and traditional finance systems to work together seamlessly.

Why Private Funds Are First in Line

Private funds, long considered exclusive and difficult to access, are the first asset class on the platform. By digitizing and tokenizing these funds, the LSE aims to break barriers that kept them limited to institutional players.

Through LSE’s Workspace integration, general partners can now showcase opportunities directly to professional investors, making the process more transparent and efficient.

The debut deal demonstrated its potential: MembersCap, a Bermuda-based capital manager, executed the first blockchain-enabled fundraise with support from Archax, an FCA-regulated London crypto exchange. Archax acted as a nominee for the Cardano Foundation, proving blockchain can open new investment channels in sectors like institutional reinsurance.

Microsoft’s Role in Blockchain Finance

The platform is built on Microsoft Azure, ensuring scale, security, and compliance. Microsoft sees this as more than a technical role it’s part of a wider mission to reshape global finance.

Bill Borden, Corporate VP of Worldwide Financial Services at Microsoft, said:

“Together, we’re reshaping the future of global finance to empower our customers to unlock new opportunities and drive meaningful change.”

What Comes Next for LSE Blockchain Platform

Private funds are just the beginning. The LSE has confirmed more asset classes will follow, expanding blockchain-powered fundraising across finance.

By digitizing real-world assets in a regulated environment, the platform could:

  • Improve liquidity
  • Expand investor access
  • Merge traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralized finance (DeFi)

Research by Animoca Brands suggests tokenization could unlock a $400 trillion market, covering private credit, bonds, and alternative funds.

If successful, LSE’s move may inspire other global exchanges to adopt similar blockchain platforms, turning blockchain from a side experiment into a core part of global financial markets.
