London, 1 April 2026 – BPX, the UK FCA-authorised institutional venue for issuing, trading and lending both traditional and tokenised alternative assets, today announced the appointment of Charles McManus as Advisor.

Charles McManus, Co-founder and former CEO of ClearBank, one of the UK’s first new
clearing banks in over 250 years, joins BPX at a pivotal moment for global financial markets. He brings extensive experience in building and scaling regulated financial infrastructure. He continues to work with financial institutions, fintechs and industry bodies in advisory and board roles.

His appointment comes as market structure and infrastructure continue to evolve, driven by advances in blockchain, smart contracts, digital money, programmable payments and AI.

A profound structural shift is underway: traditional finance is evolving toward digitally native, tokenised, and increasingly decentralised models. BPX is leading this transition, working alongside regulators and institutions to build the infrastructure and frameworks required for safe, scalable institutional participation in this new financial ecosystem.

Having spent my career at the intersection of banking, fintech and securities markets, BPX represents a compelling convergence of these domains at a pivotal moment for the industry. Financial services are entering a new era, where digital assets, digital money and tokenised infrastructure are redefining how markets and leading players operate.

BPX is addressing this shift through the development of a regulated securities marketplace for traditional and tokenised assets, designed not only to support innovation, settlement and custody, but to enable institutional adoption within a robust regulatory framework. This is critical to unlocking the full potential of tokenisation of securities in global capital markets.

I am excited to support BPX’s mission as its platform evolves alongside regulators and market participants. The transformation of financial markets is underway, and BPX is well positioned to play a leading role in this new ecosystem.”

Charles McManus, Adviser of BPX

His insight and relationships will be invaluable as we continue to develop BPX as a next generation market infrastructure, enabling the issuance, settlement, and trading of digital securities within a trusted regulatory framework.

Charles’ perspective, shaped through close collaboration with regulators, institutions, and market participants, strongly aligns with our vision to modernise capital markets through tokenisation.
