FCA to consider exempting tokenized gold from fund rules

—FCA is discussing exemptions from rules for collective investment and alternative funds with the Treasury
—A separate regulatory regime is being developed for tokenized gold and commodities
—John Relin of the FCA: the goal is to check whether the current system suits the gold market

Why it matters: Looser rules could speed up the launch of tokenized gold products in Britain and set a benchmark for other jurisdictions.
