Which markets and regulators do we follow?

Twelve jurisdiction guides, kept current, with a dated log of the regulatory changes that matter for tokenized securities.

GuideUnited StatesTokenized securities are securities – the SEC said so plainly in January 2026.GuideEuropean UnionA tokenized security in the EU is a MiFID II instrument, not a MiCA crypto-asset. Prospectus exemptions, the DLT Pilot Regime and ECSP, explained.GuideUnited KingdomSecurity tokens in the UK are FCA-regulated specified investments. How offers run under the new regime, and how the Digital Securities Sandbox works.GuideUnited Arab EmiratesFour regulators, three routes: VARA's ARVA regime for real-world-asset tokens in Dubai, DFSA's Investment Tokens in the DIFC.GuideSwitzerlandSwitzerland made tokenized shares a first-class legal object: ledger-based securities under the DLT Act.GuideSingaporeMAS regulates a tokenized security as the security it represents – 'same activity, same risk, same regulatory outcome.' The SFA offer exemptions.GuideHong KongThe SFC calls tokenized securities 'traditional securities with a tokenisation wrapper' – same business, same risks, same rules.GuideGermanyDo you need a BaFin licence to issue tokenized securities in Germany? Issuing does not trigger it, running the register does. The eWpG, explained.GuideLiechtensteinLiechtenstein wrote the first purpose-built blockchain law – the TVTG's Token Container Model lets a token hold any right.GuideLuxembourgFour blockchain laws (2019–2024) made Luxembourg securities natively digital – including unlisted equity via the new control-agent role.GuideBritish Virgin IslandsThe BVI is where token issuers incorporate, not where investors live: a Business Company in 24–48 hours for ~$2,500–3,000, tax-neutral.GuideCayman IslandsIn March 2026 the Cayman Islands became the first major fund domicile with an explicit statutory regime for tokenized funds.

For whom

Which asset classes do we cover?

Property, resources, software and AI companies, energy, funds and revenue streams: what changed in each, and what it means for an issuer or an investor.

By assetReal estateTwenty of our fifty-five public engagements are property. What a building must prove before issue: title, valuation, encumbrances, custody and structure.By assetMining and commoditiesCustody, assay and storage carry the entire proof tier for a reserve or a royalty. What a buyer verifies, and what makes a mining asset issuable at all.By assetTechnology companiesFor a software company the asset is the cap table, and it has to be true before anything is issued. Here is the path from record to raise to token.By assetAI companiesWhat can and cannot be tokenized in an AI company: compute, revenue rights and equity are three different instruments with three different rulebooks.By assetRenewable energyFor a project the offtake agreement and the licence decide who may hold the token and where it may trade. What to settle before the structure is drawn.
By structureInvestment fundsTokenizing a fund is reconciling two sets of terms rather than writing one. Where the LPA and the token contract disagree, and which one has to give.By structurePrivate equityTransfer restrictions enforced by the asset, not a liquidity promise. What tokenizing an SPV or an LP interest actually changes, and what it does not.By structureRevenue and royaltiesWrite the entitlement down before you tokenize it. What a revenue share or a royalty has to define to survive a counterparty reading it closely.

What is in it

Tell us the asset class or jurisdiction you watch and we will say what we can cover.

How it works

How does an issuance actually run?

Eight phases and forty-eight steps, so you can read the news against the real order of work.

01

Strategy

What you are tokenizing, for whom, and why a token is the right tool.

02

Asset structuring and legal readiness

The vehicle, the rights and the legal basis, settled before anything is issued.

03

The tokenization model

What the token represents and how it moves.

04

Token economics and the contract

The terms, and the contract that carries them.

05

The issuing framework

Who issues, who verifies investors, who holds the register.

06

Legal documentation

The offering documents your counsel signs.

07

Validation and deployment

Tests, review and the release to chain.

08

The offering

The raise itself, through a licensed firm.

FrameworkThe Tokenization FrameworkEight phases and forty-eight steps from an unstructured company to a live tokenized security, with who signs each decision and what you hold at each close.ChecklistThe Tokenization Framework checklist: what each phase hands onThe eight phases of the Tokenization Framework and what you should hold at the end of each before the next one starts.GuideThe tokenization timelineThe honest schedule: readiness month 0, structure months 1–2, offering prep 2–3, a ~90-day raise window, close and issue by month 4–6.
Compare

How do the options compare?

Honest comparisons of routes, standards and providers.

CompareTokenization vs IPOIPO: public liquidity at 4–7% underwriting plus public-company costs forever.CompareSTO vs ICO vs IEOSTOs sell enforceable rights under securities law; ICOs sold coins with no claim attached; IEOs added exchange vetting to the same instrument.CompareSecurity token vs utility tokenThe real difference between a security token and a utility token: legal status, who can hold it, rights, transferability, and where each fits.CompareStobox vs SecuritizeThese two do genuinely different jobs. Securitize is the regulated infrastructure under the largest tokenized funds in the market.

What is Stobox?

Stobox is a technology provider that structures and supports the tokenization of real-world assets. It has done so since 2018, with $305M+ in assets structured and supported for 100+ clients in 20+ jurisdictions.

Is Stobox a broker-dealer or a law firm?

No. Stobox is a technology provider. Offerings run through licensed firms, and legal opinions are your counsel’s.

What does it cost?

Stobox publishes flat fees at every layer and gives the quote in writing before you commit. It never takes a percentage of what you raise.

Which countries do you have guides for?

The United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, Switzerland, Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, the British Virgin Islands and the Cayman Islands.

What kinds of asset can be tokenized?

Real estate, mining and commodities, technology and AI companies, renewable energy, funds and private equity, and revenue or royalty streams. The readiness score does not care whether a page exists for your asset.

How long does it take?

It depends on where you start. The honest schedule is in the tokenization timeline: readiness first, then structure, then the offering preparation, then a raise window of about ninety days.
