With the growth of fund finance we have all observed cross-over between areas such as securitization, structured finance, and the insurance sector, blurring the lines between historically separate areas. The next frontier is rapidly coming into focus: crypto. In the Cayman Islands, which is somewhat of a 'sandbox' for virtual asset experimentation and innovation, we are already thinking about virtual assets in the fund finance context.
In the first instalment of our Fund Finance x Crypto series, we discussed security over custodied digital assets from a Cayman Islands law perspective. In the second instalment of this series, we will examine the advent of tokenized investment funds.
Cadwalader’s Fund Finance practice and lawyers have once again been recognized among the industry’s best in the latest Chambers UK 2026, IFLR1000 Western Europe 2025, and Legal 500 UK 2026 guides.
