Issuing a tokenized asset on IXS is a staged process: a fit review, legal structuring, custody and transfer-control setup, token deployment and audit, distribution setup, and go-live with ongoing lifecycle management. Timelines run from a few months to around a year, depending on the asset and its regulatory requirements.
1. Submit a tokenization fit review. Share the asset type, jurisdiction, and target investor base so the structure and regulatory path can be scoped.
2. Legal structuring. Define the legal wrapper that holds the asset, the transfer restrictions, and who is eligible to hold the token.
3. Custody and transfer-control setup. Connect institutional custody with BitGo or Fireblocks, and encode the transfer and eligibility controls into the vault.
4. Token deployment and audit. Deploy the ERC-4626 vault contract and complete a security audit before any capital moves.
5. Distribution setup. Configure investor verification and access, for both application-based and programmatic access.
6. Go-live and lifecycle management. Launch the vault and manage the ongoing lifecycle: subscriptions, redemptions, reporting, and corporate actions.
IXS is the licensed issuance layer for tokenized real-world assets. Issuance, custody integration, distribution, and settlement run through one regulated structure, under the Bahamas DARE Act with US SEC chaperone access, rather than through separate providers stitched together per deal.
