A group of innovators developing blockchain technology for the financial markets plans to write to the UK government, outlining its concerns about the impact the UK's decision to leave the European Union could have on the industry.

The Post-Trade Distributed Ledger Group - which counts the London Stock Exchange, CME Group, Euroclear and HSBC as members - will come together with blockchain entrepreneurs on June 27 to discuss issues arising from Brexit for blockchain development, according to a PTDL spokesman.
