About Ctrl Alt
With over $1.4 billion in assets tokenised, Ctrl Alt is a leading tokenisation infrastructure provider and operator in global digital capital markets. The fintech firm integrates blockchain technology with advanced financial engineering to deliver compliant, end-to-end tokenisation solutions across funds and alternative assets.
Founded in 2020 and launched in 2022 by Matt Ong, the business was built in response to a structural inefficiency in traditional financial markets. While working at a major investment bank, Matt observed that high quality opportunities across alternative assets such as real estate, collectibles and private markets remained inaccessible to most investors due to minimums, distribution constraints and network barriers. Ctrl Alt was created to address this imbalance by redefining how ownership and access are structured.
Ctrl Alt initially launched as a B2C mobile app, enabling retail investors to access hard-to-reach alternative assets through tokenisation and fractional ownership. Within two years, driven by market demand and the teams institutional background, the company transitioned to a B2B model, partnering with financial institutions, fintechs and governments. This shift enabled the platform to scale into larger and more complex asset classes while maintaining its core objective of expanding access and modernising market infrastructure.
Today, Ctrl Alt operates as a leader in tokenisation and key operator in digital capital markets. The firm works with a range of global organisations, including the Dubai Government, Ripple, SEI, Solana and Enterprise Ireland, alongside many other tier one financial institutions. Ctrl Alt has been selected for the Bank of England Digital Securities Sandbox and admitted into the Banks Synchronisation Lab programme.
Regulatory coverage includes FCA authorisation in the UK and VASP licensing from VARA in the UAE, where Ctrl Alt became the first firm to receive an Issuer licence. The firm also holds a Broker Dealer licence from VARA. This regulatory footprint, combined with a strong legal understanding of the digital assets landscape, enables Ctrl Alt to deliver compliant solutions aligned with the requirements of financial institutions and governments.
A defining milestone over the past year has been its role in the Dubai Land Department Real Estate Tokenisation Project. This initiative enables investors to access fractional property ownership from £400, lowering entry barriers. The first property issuance sold out in under 24 hours, with subsequent offerings completing in under two minutes. To date, 10 properties have been tokenised, attracting more than 2,000 investors across 50 nationalities. Secondary market functionality has also been introduced, enabling 24/7 trading and improving liquidity in what has traditionally been an illiquid asset class.
Ctrl Alt operates at the convergence of traditional finance and blockchain technology. Its focus on regulatory alignment, proprietary technology, scalability and institutional usability positions the firm to support the continued evolution of digital capital markets.
