Tokenisation has moved from industry discussion to active market development in the U.S., with increasing focus on shareholder rights, ownership transparency and the future of market infrastructure. While this primer reflects a U.S. perspective, many of the concepts may be useful for UK issuers seeking to understand how tokenisation is developing internationally and where ownership models may be heading.
This primer is designed to help issuers understand how tokenisation is developing, the differences between issuer-sponsored, custodial and synthetic models, and why the structure behind a token matters. It provides a useful foundation for organisations researching tokenisation and exploring how share ownership, settlement and shareholder engagement could evolve over time.
