As private markets face rising demand and operational pressure, tokenisation is emerging as a powerful tool to simplify fund infrastructure, cut costs, and improve investor experience. But moving from pilot to production is where most efforts stall. This keynote brings together Hamilton Lane, Apex Group, and Allfunds to share a world-first case study - the only fully operational on-chain private markets fund structure live today. 

Through a three-way collaboration between issuer, administrator and distributor, the project demonstrates how blockchain can deliver real efficiency: from streamlined investor onboarding and reduced reconciliation errors, to lower fees and faster settlements. The session will also explore how the next wave of tokenised products could unlock crypto-native liquidity, neobank partnerships, and collateral mobility at scale. 

• What tangible operational efficiencies and cost savings are being realised through tokenised fund share classes? 
• How is blockchain simplifying traditional pain points in fund administration, transfer agency, and distribution? 
• What does this mean for managers and LPs - and how does it support more scalable investor access to private markets? 
• How close are we to integrating tokenised private funds with crypto-native funding, custody and settlement rails?
