RWA Tokenization in Canada

RWA tokenization in Canada is bottlenecked by regulator-grade architecture, not by token technology. CFRI advises Canadian asset managers, real-estate operators, and family offices on OSC / FINTRAC-aligned tokenization — using the TSB token standard on Bitcoin where institutional security matters most.

01

OSC / FINTRAC alignment first

Token standard selection comes after the regulatory architecture, not before. We map the offering to the OSC and CSA staff notices that govern it, then choose the technology that fits.

02

Custody and settlement

Qualified custodian selection, on-chain settlement design, and reconciliation patterns that hold up to a Canadian institutional auditor.

03

TSB on Bitcoin where it fits

For asset classes that demand maximum security and minimum counterparty risk, the TSB token standard on Bitcoin is purpose-built. We co-authored the underlying R&D.

What we deliver
  • Regulatory mapping (OSC / CSA / FINTRAC)
  • Custody and settlement architecture
  • Token standard selection (TSB or alternative)
  • Pilot launch plan with named counterparties
  • Investor disclosure documentation support
Frequently asked

Is RWA tokenization legal in Canada?

It is legal under existing securities and AML frameworks when structured correctly. The regulator is unforgiving of shortcuts; the architecture has to be right.

Bitcoin or Ethereum?

Depends on the asset. For maximum-security institutional RWA we favour Bitcoin with the TSB standard. For composable DeFi-adjacent assets, Ethereum or an L2 may fit better.

Do you work with Canadian VCC / family-office structures?

Yes — see /solutions/rwa-tokenization for the full institutional offering.

Can you support a Quebec AMF-aligned offering?

Yes. We deliver bilingual documentation and have direct AMF experience.
