For founders and investors in the UK watching how tokenised equity infrastructure matures elsewhere, a partnership announced on 8 July between two US tokenisation specialists offers a useful signal. The biggest obstacle to broker dealer adoption has rarely been the technology. It has been the regula

For anyone in the UK still weighing whether tokenised equity is a real market or a slide in a pitch deck, the past week offered a concrete answer. On 2 July, Securitize began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker SECZ, and on the same day it made its own newly listed shares availab

The rails now reaching mainstream wallets are the same rails private and startup equity will eventually run on.

A quiet signal is worth paying attention to. Two independent reports have recently set out to rank and compare the tokenisation platforms now operating across Europe and beyond. One, published by the Austrian firm Onino, focuses specifically on white-label tokenisation platforms operating within the

The tokenised equity sector has reached a milestone that illustrates just how quickly institutional appetite for on-chain financial instruments has matured. Ondo Global Markets, the tokenised stock and ETF platform operated by Ondo Finance, has surpassed $1.5 billion in total value locked, less than

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

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 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.

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

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.

For UK founders and investors watching tokenised equity markets develop, one recurring structural objection has been governance: if you hold tokenised shares, can you actually vote? The answer, until recently, has been sometimes. As of this week, Broadridge Financial Solutions has moved the industry

When Coinbase makes an infrastructure decision, it tends to create a standard. The exchange serves more than 100 million verified users and handles significant institutional order flow. When it announced on 5 May 2026 that Centrifuge would be its preferred tokenisation infrastructure, and confirmed

For founders and institutional investors watching the tokenised securities space, 4 May marked a quiet but structurally important inflection point. Securitize, the world's leading tokenisation platform by assets under administration, received approvals from FINRA that expand the capabilities of its broker-dealer subsidiary, Securitize Markets LLC, in ways that have not existed in the US financial system before.
