Exactly a year ago this month, the Jersey Financial Services
Commission (JFSC) introduced updated guidance on the tokenisation
of real-world assets – a move that was warmly welcomed by
Jersey's funds industry.
Over the past year, it's been pleasing to see industry
embrace the opportunities presented by the tokenisation of virtual
assets and bring a growing number of tokenised solutions to market.
It's important, because it is no exaggeration to say that the
tokenisation of real-world assets is set to revolutionise the
alternative funds sector in the coming years.
Already we have seen impressive growth in this space - the AUM
of tokenised assets globally, for instance, stood at US$5.2bn in
2022, rising to US$8.5bn in 2023. In 2024, that figure almost
doubled to US$15.7bn, and in 2025 has jumped further, increasing to
US$25.3bn (as at August 2025, RWA.XYZ). The clear expectation is
that the sector will continue to rise, and into the trillions by
2030.
