2025 has been a transformative year for Ctrl Alt and the wider tokenization market. Market interest in tokenized assets has moved from exploration to active adoption, and institutions have accelerated efforts to support this growth. For us, the year has been defined by growth, innovation and tangible progress in delivering regulated, global tokenization solutions. In this article, we look back at 2025 and the progress we have made as a company.

Team and Organizational Growth

At the start of the year, our team consisted of 17 members. Today, we are 50 strong across the UK, Ireland, and the UAE, a 194% increase. Expanding our team was critical to meeting rising demand from financial institutions and government bodies. This growth reflects not only our ambition but also the broader momentum in tokenization, as more organizations recognize the operational efficiency and market access it enables.

Market Impact and Asset Tokenization

Our growth was mirrored in the assets we have tokenized. At the start of the year, we had $150 million in assets tokenized, by year-end, this figure exceeded $580 million, a 288% increase. This growth spans alternative asset classes further solidifying our position as a trusted global partner for both institutions and governments.

A standout example was our collaboration with the Dubai Land Department and its Real Estate Tokenization Project. We successfully tokenized real estate ownership, by putting title deeds on-chain and creating asset-backed tokens representing legal ownership, a first of its kind on a public blockchain. This project demonstrated the efficiency of native tokenization and the benefits of recording real asset ownership on-chain, working closely with regulators and government entities on innovative tokenization frameworks.

In the UK, we were selected as one of a few participants in the Bank of England’s Digital Securities Sandbox, a landmark initiative driving digital asset innovation. Our work focused on building tokenization solutions for funds, private markets, and bonds, setting the stage for deployment in 2026.

Regulatory Progress and Licensing

Regulatory advancement was a core focus throughout the year. In the UAE, we obtained a VASP license from VARA and became the first firm to receive an Issuer license from the regulator, alongside securing our Broker-Dealer license. These milestones enable us to deliver innovative products while providing institutions with the confidence of operating within fully regulated frameworks. Expanding our licensing footprint remains a priority as we continue to scale globally and deliver tokenization solutions across additional regions.

Technology and Platform Development

On the technology front, we upgraded our proprietary tokenization platform with a new intuitive system, offering investors and partners a unified interface to manage tokenized assets, adding to the value and efficiency that comes with tokenization. From an architecture standpoint we expanded our blockchain integrations to include XRP Ledger, Solana, Avalanche, and Canton, increasing interoperability and access. Additionally, our API solution enables firms to connect seamlessly to our tokenization engine, providing an easy-to-use solution for asset managers, owners, and capital allocators.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The progress made in 2025 laid strong foundations. Tokenization has been recognized by major institutions and is becoming an operational reality across financial services. As we move into 2026, our focus will be on deepening partnerships, broadening asset class coverage, creating more innovative products, and continuing to expand regulated market infrastructure. Our goal is to accelerate adoption and deliver scalable solutions that benefit governments, institutions, and investors.
