Caceis acquires a stake in asset tokenisation firm Kriptown
0
This investment coincides with the upcoming launch of Lise (Lightning Stock Exchange), its subsidiary, which will be the first European tokenised exchange dedicated to SMEs and mid-cap companies.
With this move, CACEIS reaffirms its commitment to driving transformation in the financial sector and fostering digital ecosystems that promote innovation. Kriptown's subsidiary Lise is developing a market infrastructure designed to simplify equity financing and listings for SMEs.
Lise has applied for approval as a DLT Trading and Settlement System (DLT TSS) under the European pilot regime, which permits the use of distributed ledger technology (DLT) for issuing, trading, and settling financial instruments on the blockchain.
CACEIS's backing marks a strategic milestone for Lise's parent company, reinforcing its governance and enhancing the project's credibility among stakeholders.
The investment is in line with CACEIS long-term strategy for digital assets, which it has been pursuing for several years to support the transformation of market infrastructure.
This commitment was demonstrated more recently with the granting of MiCA approval, which reinforces the group's belief that technological innovation and regulation must go hand in hand.

Martin Lewis shares how workers can secure unpaid holiday cash windfall
Workers have been advised by Martin Lewis's money-saving service to check they are getting all the paid time off they are owed. All employees are entitled to holiday pay whether they're full-time, part-time, temporary or seasonal. Their employers must give them what they're entitled to, meaning it is wise to keep track. The first step is to find out your status as a worker, according to Mr Lewis's Money Saving Expert website, as this will determine what you are entitled to. Not everyone who works has worker or employee status (some gig economy workers, for example), which means they are likely not entitled to holiday pay. An easy way to check is whether the worker receives payslips from their employer or not. If they do, they are likely an employee. However, the best way to be sure is to check the contract or ask the employer. Money Saving Expert shared the story of Lola, 17, whose mother said she was able to secure £240 in unpaid holiday pay after working as a kitchen porter at her local pub for two years. The teenager hadn't taken any paid holiday during her employment, as she didn't know she was entitled to it. Getting in touch with her former employer, the pub backdated two years' worth of holiday pay – £218. Lola then even got in touch with a cafe where she had worked the previous summer, finding out she was also owed £23.87 by them. Her mother said: 'It's a lot of money, especially when you're only 17. She's going to use it to save up for driving lessons. I wanted to highlight this as I'm sure there are other young people working and not aware of their entitlements.' Figuring out how much holiday pay a worker is entitled to can be tricky. Employees and workers are legally entitled to 5.6 working weeks of paid holiday a year, meaning the exact amount differs depending on how much they work. For a full-time worker, this works out to 28 days of paid holiday a year. Employers are allowed to include bank holidays in this, but not all do. Working out a part-time worker's entitlement is a matter of multiplying the number of days a week they work by 5.6. If they leave their employment without taking all of this entitlement, their employer must pay for any untaken holiday. This will require the worker to communicate with their former employer. Pat Hicks, advisor for the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas), said: "Some people might find it quite a daunting idea to raise a concern with their employer, but it may be a genuine mistake they did not realise has been made. Talking to the employer informally might be enough to highlight the issue and get it resolved."

Shark quietly launches vacuum sale with huge discounts across a range of models - including £120 off Mrs Hinch's favourite cordless vac
Daily Mail journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission - learn more Shark has launched a massive summer sale, which includes a £100+ discount on Mrs Hinch 's favourite vacuum - the Shark Stratos Anti Hair Wrap Plus. I've been working in product testing and reviewing for years and have seen countless home appliance sales come and go. This means I've been keeping track of vacuum prices for years and I know a good deal when I see one. While Shark discounts its products fairly regularly, the discounts aren't always huge. Occasionally though, like right now, you'll find discounts of £100+ on some of Shark's more premium models - so it's always worth taking a look when a sale comes along. As well as testing models from the likes of Hoover and Dyson, I also own a cordless Shark vacuum myself and think they're great for everyday cleaning, especially given their price. I also live in a very hair-heavy household, with both humans and pets that are constantly shedding. This means I'm particularly interested and invested in vacuums with anti-hair wrap tech like Shark. Shark vacuum deals While not every model is on sale right now, there are still a lot of models to consider. To help cut through the noise, I've picked out a selection of what I think are the best Shark vacuum deals to consider right now based on discount, specs and my existing knowledge of past deals events. Below, I've included some pros, cons and important specs to consider to help you make an informed buying decision. Mrs Hinch might be a brand ambassador for Shark but that doesn't mean this isn't a good vacuum cleaner. I personally rate this model and have never been paid by Shark to endorse them. My corded upright pick - Shark Anti Hair Wrap with Lift-Away £169.99 (was £229.99) Shop Ideal for medium to large households, this corded model is affordable but powerful, making it ideal for homes with thick carpets and pets. My cordless pick - Shark PowerPro with Anti Hair Wrap & Floor Detect £179.99 (was £249.99) Shop If I were to buy a Shark vacuum again, this would be my pick. It's very affordable and while basic, would suit most medium sized-households. Pros: Easy to manoeuvre, good for hard floor and carpet, anti allergen seal Cons: Average battery life, very top heavy Capacity: 1.1L Weight: 5.6kg Claimed run time on eco: 50 minutes Accessories: Crevice tool, upholstery tool Should you buy a Shark vacuum? If you don't want to spend Dyson money but are still looking for a powerful cleaner, I think Shark vacuums offer a great middle ground. The brand has some solid budget options and even its more premium vacuums cost a fraction of the price of a Dyson but still offer impressive cleaning performance. Shark's big focus on anti-hair wrap tech is also a bonus if you've got long haired members of the family, while the more premium and recently released models feature odour pucks to keep those horrible vacuum smells at bay.
