Structured Products. Tokenised..

Autocalls, reverse convertibles, principal-protected notes, leveraged trackers — the structured products universe wrapped as tokenised instruments. On-chain settlement, broader distribution, smart-contract-enforced payoff logic.

What it is

Structured Products.

Structured products are debt instruments that encode option payoffs onto the issuer's balance sheet. They're a $2T+ market globally, distributed primarily through private banks and structured-product brokerages. The economic concept is simple: pre-defined payoff at maturity based on the performance of an underlying (an equity, an index, a basket, a crypto reference rate), with downside protections, leverage, or callability layered on.

Tokenising a structured product takes the same legal instrument — a note or certificate issued by an SPV — and replaces the off-chain register and settlement layer with smart-contract-enforced equivalents. The payoff terms are programmed into the smart contract; settlement at maturity happens atomically against a cash leg. Distribution expands beyond the private-banking channel — any KYC'd investor wallet can hold the token.

What this unlocks is a structured-products world that doesn't require investors to have a structured-product brokerage relationship. It also shortens the settlement cycle dramatically and makes secondary trading among pre-onboarded investors possible — a long-standing pain point for retail-distributed structured products.

Who it's for

Built for managers who want to distribute differently.

01

Issuers running structured-product programmes

Already issuing autocalls, reverse convertibles or principal-protected notes through conventional channels. Want to add a tokenised channel to broaden the addressable investor base.

02

Crypto-native structured-product managers

Building structured products referencing crypto underlyings — covered call programmes, BTC-USD principal-protected notes, basis-trade certificates.

03

Wealth managers building bespoke notes

Have a specific investor mandate — a bespoke autocall on a custom basket, a yield-enhancement note tied to a particular index — and want to issue it as a tokenised instrument rather than going through a bank counterparty.

How it works

Four steps from term sheet to live token.

The same structuring path you'd follow for a non-tokenised product, with the smart-contract and identity-registry pieces wired in from the start.

WEEK 1

Term sheet

Payoff structure agreed; underlying confirmed; reference levels and KIs set.

WEEK 2

Vehicle

Cell or vehicle established; offering documentation finalised.

WEEK 3

Mint

Tokens minted with payoff logic encoded in the smart contract; investors onboarded.

WEEK 4+

Lifecycle

Underlying observed against trigger levels; payoffs enforced at maturity or autocall events.

Regulatory pathway

Familiar regulator. Same protections.

LIVE
Multi-jurisdictional

Standard structured-product mechanics, on-chain

Structured products tokenise cleanly because the underlying legal nature is already a debt instrument. The smart contract enforces the payoff; the regulated administrator overlay handles edge cases and lifecycle events.

  • Autocalls — auto-redemption at predetermined levels with coupon
  • Reverse convertibles — yield enhancement with conditional capital repayment
  • Principal-protected notes — capital protection with upside participation
  • Leveraged certificates — geared exposure to a defined underlying
  • Bespoke payoffs — custom structures designed for specific mandates

FAQs

Common questions.

Can the smart contract enforce knock-in / knock-out triggers?+

Yes. The payoff logic — knock-ins, knock-outs, autocall levels, coupons — is programmed into the smart contract and verified against on-chain or oracle-published reference data.

What underlyings do you support?+

Single stocks, indices, ETFs, currency pairs, commodities, crypto reference rates, baskets, and custom indices. Reference data sourced via institutional-grade oracles.

How is credit exposure handled?+

Each structured product is issued through a segregated cell or SPV — investors have a claim against the cell's assets, not the broader issuer's balance sheet. Bankruptcy-remote.

What chains do you support?+

Issuance is supported on any chain we work with — including EVM Layer 2s and Ethereum Layer 1 by default; other chains by arrangement.
