Tokenisation infrastructure provider and operator in digital capital markets, Ctrl Alt, has received direct authorisation from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
The approval enables Ctrl Alt to provide regulated investment services, reinforcing its position in the UK market and supporting the continued expansion of its tokenisation capabilities.
The authorisation places Ctrl Alt, a subsidiary of Alt, on the FCA’s register under the UK framework for investment firms.
Operating under its own regulatory permissions allows the firm to expand its digital capital markets services, supporting the end-to-end lifecycle of tokenised assets.
Previously operating as an Appointed Representative, Ctrl Alt has now secured its own direct FCA authorisation, enabling the firm to operate independently under its own regulatory permissions and oversight.
The FCA approval comes amid Ctrl Alt’s participation in initiatives led by the Bank of England, including the Digital Securities Sandbox and the Synchronisation Lab.
Matt Ong, CEO and founder, Ctrl Alt, says: “This authorisation is an important step for Ctrl Alt and for financial innovation in the UK as a whole. It allows us to continue expanding our tokenisation capabilities and support the development of more efficient and accessible financial markets.
“At a time when UK-based firms are relocating abroad, we are focused on strengthening London’s position as a global hub for digital capital markets and delivering the tokenisation infrastructure that will drive the next generation of financial innovation.”
