SFC approves six securities registrars for the uncertificated securities market regime

  • BNY and Citadel Securities completed a transaction on 13 October 2026 moving tokenised US Treasuries from settlement into overnight triparty repo financing, with BNY settling the bond in minutes rather than on the standard T+1 cycle and committing to extend traditional settlement hours into European and Asian windows next year.
  • Hong Kong's SFC approved six securities registrars on 12 October 2026 for the upcoming uncertificated securities market regime, clearing the registrar layer that tokenised equity issuance depends on.
  • The European Banking Authority classified Circle's USDC as the first significant electronic money token under MiCA on 15 October 2026, triggering dual supervision by the EBA and France's ACPR, a 60% commercial-bank reserve floor, and a capital requirement rising from 2% to 3% of reserves.
