Strategy, regulation, governance and implementation for tokenised funds and real-world assets

Tokenisation and digital asset services

hero image

Tokenisation is the digital representation of asset ownership, often using distributed ledger technology, and enables faster settlement, automated servicing, fractional ownership and clearer records across funds, private credit, securities, insurance-linked structures and other real-world assets.

PwC Channel Islands helps asset managers, financial institutions and service providers in Jersey and Guernsey assess, design, launch and scale tokenised products across strategy, structuring, regulation, tax, risk, operations and assurance.

What are the benefits of asset tokenisation?

Asset tokenisation provides four key practical benefits:

  • Speed: shorter settlement and improved liquidity
  • Efficiency: more automation and lower administration costs
  • Access: fractional ownership of private or illiquid assets
  • Transparency: stronger ownership and transfer records
