This article is part of a series of features on tokenised securities

Tokenised equity represents company ownership through digital asset-based tokens, with the advantage that they offer faster settlement, fractional ownership, and wider accessibility compared to traditional equity, while embedding compliance directly into smart contracts. The rise of tokenised equity reflects the broader momentum of tokenisation, which is set to reshape global markets over the next decade by increasing efficiency, transparency, and programmability across asset classes. Equity stands out as a particularly impactful application, as tokenisation can democratise access to capital, enhance liquidity, and reduce costs for both issuers and investors. Bitfinex Securities has positioned itself at the forefront of this movement, recently surpassing $250 million in assets under management, advancing toward a full licence with the Astana International Financial Centre, and becoming the first firm licensed under El Salvador’s Digital Assets Law, cementing its role in building regulated infrastructure for tokenised markets.
