London's Financial Infrastructure Focuses on Digital Assets and On-Chain Execution
What happened
Aurora Labs is building a cross-chain execution layer within London, led by CEO Declan Hannon. Separately, a conference is scheduled to discuss who will build and run London’s financial infrastructure as more of it moves onto blockchain technology. Speakers at the event include representatives from the Bank of England, and the report notes that UK banks, such as Lloyds Banking Group, have begun testing digital asset rules by converting sterling deposits into digital tokens.
