Cayman Islands: new rules for tokenised funds

The AIMA Q2 2026 Journal has published our article “Cayman Islands introduces new regulatory framework for tokenised funds” authored by corporate partners Simon Thomas, Kristy-Anne Leith and James McKeon.

The article discusses targeted amendments to the Mutual Funds Act, Private Funds Act and the Virtual Asset (Service Providers) Act approved by the Cayman Islands to create a clear regulatory framework for investment funds that use blockchain-based tokenisation to represent investor interests.

The amendments, which became effective on 24 March 2026, are designed to provide legal certainty for managers and operators and maintain robust investor protection standards.
