In this episode, host Tessa Norman is joined by Laura Talvitie, PwC Digital Assets Regulatory Lead, and James Moseley, PwC Banking Partner and Digital Assets UK Lead, to explore the next phase of tokenisation across financial services.

Our guests unpack the UK’s evolving regulatory landscape, growing market momentum, and the shift from experimentation to live use cases. The discussion explores how tokenisation is developing across banking, asset and wealth management, insurance and crypto-native firms, and what this could mean for market infrastructure, competition and consumer outcomes.

We also consider the strategic choices facing firms, the risks and barriers to adoption, and the steps firms should be taking now to identify and prioritise viable use cases and build operating model readiness. Finally, we explore how firms can position themselves for a more tokenised future financial ecosystem.

In this episode, we explore the UK’s final Sustainability Reporting Standards (UK SRS) and what they mean for listed companies and the wider financial services sector. Guest host and PwC Director Andrew Strange is joined by ISSB Board Member Richard Barker and PwC’s Gemma Jones (Sustainability Director, Insurance and Asset & Wealth Management) to discuss what the UK SRS mean in practice, how they build on ISSB foundations, and what the FCA’s recent consultation could signal for listed companies.

The conversation highlights why this is more than a compliance exercise, and the opportunity for organisations to reset their approach, focusing on materiality, stronger links to financial reporting, and more decision-useful insights for investors.

Host Tessa Norman is joined by PwC Directors Andrew Strange and Ian Ody to unpack how targeted support will impact consumers and firms, and how it fits into the FCA’s wider agenda to improve consumer outcomes and expand retail participation in capital markets. Our expert guests discuss the strategic choices firms face, from identifying use cases and customer segments, to navigating conduct risks and evolving their offering over time.
We also look ahead to how data, AI and evolving business models could reshape the advice and guidance landscape over the coming years, and why targeted support may be just the starting point of a much broader transformation.
