CurveBlock, a real estate firm, is the first company to gain acceptance into the Bank of England’s Digital Securities Sandbox (DSS). This pioneering regulatory program allows blockchain-based securities to operate under modified central securities depository (CSD) and exchange rules until 2028. By participating in the DSS, CurveBlock can issue, trade, and settle digital real estate assets with less stringent regulation, paving the way for wider tokenization of real-world assets within the UK market. This milestone signifies the burgeoning intersection between open blockchain infrastructure and regulated financial innovation, as institutional investors increasingly seek compliant exposure to tokenized assets.
