The Cayman Islands' legislative framework for tokenised funds, in force since March 2026, moved fund tokenisation from concept to regulated operating reality. This hub is the CV5 Capital operator centre for tokenised fund interests: the legal framework and CIMA's expectations, the operating model that sits behind a token that represents a fund share, and the questions institutional allocators ask before underwriting a tokenised vehicle. Start with the flagship handbook, then work through the framework and operating model sections in order; tokenisation changes the register, transfer and settlement mechanics of a fund, and the managers who succeed are the ones who treat those mechanics as core infrastructure rather than an afterthought.

Frequently asked questions
Does tokenising a fund trigger VASP licensing?
Not necessarily; it depends on who performs custody, exchange and transfer functions. The VASP licensing line analysis maps where the boundary sits.
Is the token the share register?
No. The official register remains the legal record; the token is a representation whose synchronisation with the register is an operational design decision. See how the official register works.
Can subscriptions settle in stablecoins?
Yes, with valuation, reconciliation and AML controls in place. See stablecoins as the cash leg.
