Lloyds Survey: 71% of UK Finance Leaders Expect Tokenization to Reshape Financial Services

The weight of this signal lies less in the headline number than in where it sits: incumbent finance leaders, not crypto natives, are the ones naming tokenization as a structural change.

The open question is whether the UK's infrastructure build-out keeps pace with this stated expectation, or whether sentiment continues to run ahead of usable rails.
