Ctrl Alt

Ctrl Alt Ltd is a UK-based tokenization infrastructure provider that designs and operates blockchain-based infrastructure for digital capital markets [2]. The firm holds direct authorisation from the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) under FRN 1045023; this direct authorisation was granted on 8 April 2026 (the company previously operated as an Appointed Representative) [1].

As of April 2026, Ctrl Alt had facilitated the tokenisation of over $1.4 billion of assets across asset classes including real estate, private credit, funds and commodities [4]. The company presents itself as serving institutional and professional clients rather than retail investors [2]. Companies House lists Matthew Ong as the only person with significant control of Alt Ltd, the parent of the FCA-authorised Ctrl Alt Ltd; the 2022 founding year cited in some sources has not been confirmed in regulatory or company filings.

Ctrl Alt provides the on-chain infrastructure and operational services needed to issue, distribute and settle tokenised securities. Its regulated permissions cover tokenisation-related investment services; the FCA Financial Services Register (FRN 1045023) should be consulted for the full, itemised list of regulated activities authorised for the firm [1].

The platform focuses on structuring tokenised products for professional and institutional investors and supports lifecycle activities such as issuance, trading and settlement of digital securities [2], [4]. The firm states it does not provide investment advice or discretionary investment management services [1].

Why this matters: tokenisation as a service is infrastructure — investors rely on the firm for custody/settlement and compliance building blocks rather than for portfolio management. Confirm which specific activities (e.g., arranging, safekeeping) are authorised for this FRN by checking the FCA register before acting [1].

Ctrl Alt offers professionally structured tokenised investment opportunities across alternative asset classes including private markets, real estate, private credit, funds and commodities; these are issued as digital securities on distributed ledgers [2], [4]. Notable platform milestones reported include a tokenised structured product launched on the Solana blockchain (30 April 2026) and projects facilitating tokenised real-estate transactions with partners such as the Dubai Land Department, with some assets enabled for secondary-market trading [4], [7].

Fees and minimums: the firm does not publish a single, standardised fee schedule. Charges, minimum investment amounts (if any), term length and dividend/return mechanics are disclosed on a per-offering basis to eligible investors prior to investment [2].

Performance and defaults: Ctrl Alt does not appear to publish a consolidated historical performance record or a platform-wide default-rate metric; performance information should be sought in the legal and offering documents for each specific tokenised product [4].

Why this matters: bespoke fees and per-issue disclosure mean due diligence must be conducted for each offering — investors cannot rely on a single published, platform-level performance or fee metric when comparing opportunities.

Ctrl Alt's services are aimed at professional and institutional investors and are not directed at retail clients [2]. That classification typically restricts access to those meeting regulatory tests for professional client status; professional clients may have fewer protections under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) and less scope to complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service than retail clients — check the firm's client classification and complaints documentation for details [2], [5].

Why this matters: eligibility rules determine investor protections and dispute-resolution routes. Confirm your client status with the firm and read the offering documents carefully before participating.
