In a Tuesday tiffin-time announcement, the regulator chirped that this initiative is all about “providing clarity” and “driving innovation.” 🧐 Because, let’s face it, nothing says innovation like turning your assets into digital confetti! Simon Walls, the FCA’s markets maestro, declared, “Tokenization could shake up asset management like a snow globe in a toddler’s hands!” ❄️✨
Ah, but what of hope? Some altcoins have dared to rise from their graves, yet the recovery is like a flickering candle in a hurricane.

As for custodying crypto? Pah! That’s off the table-metaphorically and likely physically. Mr. Lucas, ever the diplomat, fibbed rather drolly that custody is “not on the horizon near-term,” as if the term “horizon” here implies somewhere beyond the moon and a plate of scones. A wise man once said, “Bingo! Not quite yet, old bean.”
Crypto exchange Binance announced on Oct. 12 that it had completed a full assessment of the extreme market volatility that shook the cryptocurrency sector between 20:50 and 22:00 UTC on Oct. 10, when both institutional and retail traders engaged in heavy sell-offs. 🚨
