According to PANews, Lloyds Banking Group Plc and Aberdeen Investments have formed a partnership with the cryptocurrency exchange Archax to enable the use of digital assets as collateral for foreign exchange contracts, aiming to reduce costs in the trading sector.
A statement released on Monday outlines that this collaboration allows Aberdeen Investments and Lloyds Banking Group to leverage blockchain technology for foreign exchange transactions. This technology facilitates the tokenization of real-world assets to be used as collateral. Under the initiative, digital tokens backed by UK government bonds and shares from Aberdeen Investments' money market funds have been issued, transferred, and are held by Archax, based in the UK.
