Case study: Enabling a blockchain-native real estate fund launch
Supporting the launch of an institutional tokenised real estate fund
The tokenised real estate fund represents a significant milestone in the evolution of real-world asset tokenisation.
By combining established fund structures with blockchain-native fund issuance, the initiative demonstrated how institutional investors can access tokenised investment products within a fully regulated framework.
The challenge
Growing demand for institutional-grade tokenised investment products
Need to combine blockchain-native issuance with established fund governance and regulatory oversight
Requirement for scalable investor servicing and operational infrastructure
Cross-party coordination between fund manager, custodian, technology providers, and distribution channels
Maintaining investor protection and operational resilience while introducing new digital asset capabilities
The solution
Provided Alternative Investment Fund Manager (“AIFM”) services through FundRock LIS
Delivered fund administration services through Apex Fund Services Luxembourg
Supplied depositary services for assets other than financial instruments
Enabled banking and account services through the European Depositary Bank
Supported issuance, servicing, and lifecycle management of blockchain-native fund units
Integrated regulated fund servicing with GS DAP® tokenisation infrastructure
Facilitated onboarding, transaction processing, investor servicing, and regulatory reporting across jurisdictions
The results
We helped establish the regulated operating framework supporting the launch of a blockchain-native real estate fund. By combining institutional fund servicing capabilities with digital asset infrastructure, the model demonstrates how tokenisation can enhance efficiency and transparency while preserving robust governance and investor safeguards.
The initiative also highlights the growing convergence of traditional fund operations and digital asset markets, creating a scalable foundation for future tokenised investment products.
