A forward looking, practical guide to tokenised cap tables for founders and investors, covering what they record, the benefits, the downsides and the steps to adopt one.

Tokenisation is reshaping the financial landscape, particularly within the UK fintech sector. As digital assets and blockchain technology mature, the ability to represent ownership rights and financial instruments as tokens is unlocking new opportunities for startups and investors alike. This article explores the key trends in fintech tokenisation UK, offering a grounded perspective on how this innovation is evolving and what it means for the future of finance.

Spiko, the London and Paris tokenised cash fund issuer, raised a $90 million Series B led by NEA on 6 October 2026, taking its total funding to $120 million.

Ondo Finance launched Ondo Private Markets on 6 October 2026, tokenised notes that track private company share values at liquidity events but carry no ownership rights.

The joint venture between OKX and the New York Stock Exchange's owner has told the SEC it plans a 24/7 venue for tokenised US shares, with a 30-day objection window before trading can start.

Lloyds polled 100 senior leaders at the UK's largest financial institutions and found technology investment priorities rising fast. The survey measures expectation, not live use.

Lloyds Banking Group and Visa settled US$750,000 of payment obligations in USDC over seven days, with funds reaching Visa in under an hour, including over a weekend. The release gives no rollout date.

It has been a fast few weeks for anyone trying to keep up with UK tokenised equity, SEIS reform talk and the early life of PISCES. Today's brief is a lighter one on breaking news, so it felt like the right moment for a pause and a quiz rather than another headline. Ten questions on where things actu

A growing gap is opening up between two very different things that both get called a tokenised stock, and 2026 is the year regulators started drawing the line publicly rather than leaving it to the small print.

London Stock Exchange Group has taken a governance seat on the Canton Network, a blockchain built for regulated institutions, through its Digital Settlement House service for commercial bank money.

A $20 million fund financing UAE small businesses through Luxembourg-issued notes on the Canton Network is Black Manta's second tokenisation deal since mid-August, and the clearest sign yet of a firm using one regulatory toolkit to reach further asset classes and geographies.

Citi has extended its tokenised money service for institutional clients to Japan and the UAE, bringing the network to seven markets including the UK. The release points to live use but gives no volumes beyond "billions of dollars".

The shares being distributed are the ordinary institutional class, not a token. A tokenised version of the same fund exists and holds around 10,400 dollars.

Tokenised equity is moving from experiment to infrastructure Tokenised equity is moving from experiment to infrastructure Tokenisation is no longer limited to conference demonstrations. Banks, asset managers, exchanges and regulators are now putting live products and settlement systems into production. Currently, the most activity today concerns tokenised funds, bonds, deposits and private-market assets, not ordinary public-company shares trading freely on a blockchain. Tok

For the first time a public lending market has priced a tokenised share as security rather than as a holding. The terms it set are the most concrete answer yet to what a tokenised equity is actually worth.

Ondo Finance has launched Ondo Intelligent Portfolios, onchain model portfolios built on BlackRock strategies, marking a shift from tokenised cash equivalents toward multi-asset onchain products.

MoonPay has bought a set of American securities permissions rather than a piece of technology, which is the hardest part of tokenisation to build. None of those permissions reach a UK company's shares.

The exchange has found a distribution partner for a trading venue it has not yet launched. The agreement is an intention rather than a product, and the UK is not named in it.

The people closest to an industry are often the last to see how much it can change. That’s the hard truth behind many conversations about tokenisation right now. Plenty of banks, funds, exchanges, property firms and large companies are already testing blockchain-based systems. Some have pilot projects. Some have small teams working on “digital assets”. Some are setting up two-track models, where old systems keep running while tokenised systems sit beside them. Yet inside t

Europe’s central banking system has asked Brussels to tighten the bloc’s crypto rules, one day after the Eurosystem switched on Pontes, its settlement rail for tokenised securities. The European System of Central Banks, which includes the European Central Bank and the national central banks of EU member states, published its response to the European Commission’s review of the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, known as MiCA, on Tuesday 22 September.
