Ctrl Alt has secured two new licences from the Guernsey Financial Services Commission (GFSC), strengthening its ability to deliver regulated tokenisation infrastructure across the full lifecycle of digital assets.
The authorisation marks a significant step forward for Ctrl Alt’s global expansion, adding regulated fiduciary and digital transfer agency capabilities to its tokenisation offering.
The licences are held by a newly established regulated Guernsey entity, Ctrl Alt Corporate Services, which will support the administration of tokenised investment structures, funds and vehicles.
The Fiduciary Licence enables Ctrl Alt to provide corporate administration, directorship and governance services, while the Protection of Investors (POI) Licence allows the business to act as registrar and digital transfer agent for investment fund and vehicle interests, covering administration, subscriptions and registration.
The move represents Ctrl Alt’s fourth regulatory authorisation globally, following approval from the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK, a Virtual Asset Service Provider licence from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, and authorisation from the Central Bank of Ireland.
Together, these regulatory approvals support Ctrl Alt’s ambition to provide an end-to-end infrastructure layer for tokenised assets, from structuring and issuance through to distribution and ongoing management.
By bringing digital transfer agency capabilities in-house, Ctrl Alt aims to modernise traditionally manual processes around ownership records and asset administration.
Using distributed ledger technology (DLT), digital registers can provide a more efficient and transparent record of ownership, helping reduce friction within private markets and alternative investments.
Matt Ong, Founder and CEO at Ctrl Alt, said:
“Bringing digital transfer agency and fiduciary services in-house gives us direct control over how ownership is maintained and how closely it works alongside the token. That removes a layer of friction that has slowed alternatives for years.”
The latest authorisation also highlights Guernsey’s growing role as a jurisdiction for regulated digital finance, with the GFSC recently introducing guidance supporting fund tokenisation as part of its Digital Finance Initiative.
