Today marks an important milestone in the evolution of tokenised fund distribution.
Legal & General (L&G) has announced that its liquidity funds are now live on Calastone’s Tokenised Distribution Network – bringing a major, global asset manager onto blockchain-enabled distribution infrastructure in a live production environment.

This is a clear signal that tokenisation is moving into real-world application.
While much of the recent industry focus has been on how tokenisation can be implemented, what is now becoming clear is where it delivers the the most immediate value: distribution.
By tokenising fund units and making them accessible via blockchain-based channels, asset managers can extend the reach of existing products into new distribution channels, without disrupting their underlying operating models.
Calastone’s Tokenised Distribution solution is designed to enable this, connecting traditional fund infrastructure with emerging digital distribution venues seamlessly and in an operationally efficient way.
The significance of L&G’s launch lies in both its scale and its intent with over £50bn in liquidity assets now available in tokenised form. Liquidity funds are a natural starting point for tokenisation, combining capital preservation, same-day settlement and competitive yield within a structure that is already well understood by investors. Bringing these strategies into a tokenised format demonstrates how established products can be adapted to new distribution models while maintaining the characteristics investors expect.
Tokenised distribution is emerging as a practical route into digital channels – enabling firms to move quickly, test new approaches, and broaden access without the need for large-scale operational change.
