Ctrl Alt, a financial engineering and tokenization platform with offices in the UK and Ireland, has officially launched in the UAE with an initial focus on the Emirate of Dubai.
The company has already secured multiple partnerships, “including with Emirates NBD, with more public announcements to follow.”
This expansion is driven by Dubai’s momentum and “focus to accelerate the integration of tokenized assets across a variety of use cases and clients.”
Having already achieved significant success in the UK and Europe “with $150m of assets under management, Ctrl Alt aims to replicate and expand upon this in the UAE.”
The region will be led by Robert Farquhar, “previously Senior Executive Officer at Prypco, a leading real estate and fractional real estate provider.”
Ctrl Alt made history in the real estate sector themselves “having been the first to tokenize a residential house in the UK and will look to further innovation of the real estate industry and other asset classes in Dubai and beyond with Farquhar’s expertise.”
Founder and CEO, Matt Ong comments further about the expansion:
”The momentum in Dubai has been remarkable, making it a natural choice for our third office. Dubai is going to be at the forefront of tokenization and I’m thrilled for Ctrl Alt to be part of that journey. With Robert’s experience and his proven track record in the region, we look forward to deepening our presence and working more closely with our clients here.”
Robert Farquhar also shared his enthusiasm:
”Joining and launching Ctrl Alt in Dubai is an incredible opportunity. Ctrl Alt has already paved the way for tokenizing real-world assets in the UK and Europe. Their expertise in financial engineering, combined with cutting-edge technology, is exactly what Dubai needs to further its ambitions as a leader in this space.”
Ctrl Alt will be based out of DMCC Crypto & Blockchain Ecosystem a hub “for crypto businesses – fostering growth, collaboration, and integrity across the industry.”
Combining blockchain technology and expert financial engineering, Ctrl Alt is “a B2B infrastructure business providing solutions in the alternative assets space.”
Launched in 2022 by Matt Ong (formerly of Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse) to “improve access to different assets through the power of tokenization.”
Ctrl Alt has since become one of the leaders in the tokenization space.
From Fund Managers to FinTechs, Ctrl Alt claims it is leading the way “for opening up structuring and investing in a diverse range of asset classes including real estate, private credit, green energy and more.”
With offices in the UK, Ireland, and Dubai, the Ctrl Alt team is “composed of financial and product experts including alumni from Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse, UBS and Revolut.”
