For years, one question has shadowed the ambitions of every institution considering tokenised securities on a public blockchain: what happens to our positions, our counterparty details, our transaction history? If any node on the network can read the data, the case for moving regulated assets onchai

The tokenisation industry has spent several years building infrastructure while asking when it will produce the kind of financial returns that attract mainstream capital markets attention. Securitize, the largest regulated tokenisation platform in the United States, just answered part of that questi

For a sector that has spent years justifying its infrastructure ambitions to sceptical capital markets, Securitize's announcement this week that it will list on Nasdaq at a $1.25 billion valuation is more than a corporate milestone. It is the first time a company built entirely around tokenised secu

For anyone watching the tokenisation industry and asking when the commercial reality catches up with the institutional enthusiasm, Securitize's first quarter 2026 results published on 20 May provide the clearest signal yet. The company posted record revenue of $19.5 million for Q1 2026, up 39% year

Tokenisation has, for the most part, been built in parallel to traditional financial infrastructure rather than on top of it. Separate systems, separate workflows, separate reconciliation. On 12 May 2026, Broadridge Financial Solutions announced an expansion of its tokenisation capabilities that dir

The tokenisation landscape has moved quickly. New rules, new platforms, and significant market milestones have arrived almost weekly in 2026. Whether you are a founder exploring the idea of tokenised equity for the first time, an investor trying to stay current, or a curious observer still getting t

Real world asset tokenisation has matured from white paper to working infrastructure. The question for UK founders and operators is now less whether it works, and more what the stack actually looks like end to end.

Private equity and venture capital have been theoretical use cases for tokenisation for several years. In 2026 they are starting to become real ones, but rarely in the ways the early narratives predicted.

For the past three years, tokenised finance has had a structural problem: the infrastructure for digital assets and the infrastructure for traditional securities have lived in separate systems, requiring separate workflows, separate reconciliation, and separate governance. Broadridge, the post-trade

Litigation finance has long been one of the more opaque corners of alternative assets. Returns are uncorrelated, the underlying exposure is contractual rather than market-driven, and access has historically been restricted to a small number of specialist funds and institutional allocators. A new iss

A Hong Kong venture capital firm chose London to launch its tokenised Digital Venture Fund. The infrastructure that made it possible is now operational, and accessible to other managers.

White-label tokenisation platforms have moved from niche offering to recognisable category. Several are now active in or accessible from the UK market. Here is how the landscape is taking shape and what founders should be looking for.

Jamie Marshall at CMS makes the case that tokenised funds are a historic opportunity for Scotland and the UK. The argument deserves a wider hearing, and the timing is tighter than most realise.

The tokenised equity market passed a significant milestone on 12 May 2026 as Ondo Finance announced that its Ondo Global Markets platform had surpassed $1 billion in total value locked, the first tokenised stock and ETF platform in history to reach that threshold. The announcement came alongside a s

For founders and investors watching the UK's tokenisation landscape, Wednesday's State Opening of Parliament deserves close attention. The 2026 King's Speech, scheduled for 13 May, is set to mark the beginning of the most ambitious digital finance legislative programme since the Financial Services a

When the FCA launched the PISCES sandbox framework in June 2025, most commentary treated it as an interesting experiment. Less than a year later, the UK has four approved private company trading platforms, the first trades have been completed, and one operator has launched without charging fees or r

The world's largest asset manager just made two moves that will define the next chapter of tokenised finance. On 9 May 2026, BlackRock filed to launch a new tokenised Treasury fund and proposed creating onchain share classes for an existing $7 billion money-market fund. Taken together, these filings

The tokenisation conference season has produced a steady stream of platform announcements, partnerships and market positioning updates in 2026. But the week of Consensus Miami has delivered a concentrated burst of news from one of Europe's most active tokenisation infrastructure providers.

There are proofs of concept and there are proofs of function. The distinction matters enormously in institutional finance, where the gap between a demonstration and something that actually works under real-world conditions is often where promising technologies go to stall. On 6 May 2026, Ondo Financ

For UK founders watching the tokenisation space, there is a useful rule of thumb: when the infrastructure behind financial markets changes hands, something structural is shifting. On 5 May 2026, something structural shifted.
