Why We Tokenised the Spice Bus (And Why It Matters)

Share the post

My Future Investments aims to simplify asset ownership through a regulated digital tokenisation platform in the UK. Using the Spice Bus as a pilot, they validated their model by establishing compliance with FCA guidelines, enabling traceable ownership, revenue distribution, and investor participation, thereby demonstrating a successful proof of concept.

At My Future Investments, our mission has always been clear: to make asset ownership simple, secure, and accessible to everyone. As we edge closer to becoming the first UK-based, FCA-regulated digital tokenisation platform, we’re not just theorising the future – we’re building it.

So why the Spice Bus?

In order to prove that a revolutionary framework works, you need a real-world pilot that checks every regulatory and operational box. And surprisingly, the most fun-looking bus on the planet was the most effective way to do just that.

F.C.A. – Ready From Day One

Tokenisation isn’t new. What’s been missing is regulation and trust.

That’s why we’ve been working hand-in-hand with FCA specialists and legal counsel experienced in compliance to shape a tokenisation model that can withstand the scrutiny of regulators. To test this rigorously, we needed an asset that allowed us to:

  • Record ownership with a government body (like the DVLA)
  • Establish legal shareholder frameworks
  • Manage revenue distribution
  • Integrate with smart contracts
  • Demonstrate transparent investor reporting

The Spice Bus, a government-registered, fan-fuelled, nostalgia-packed cultural icon, offered the perfect balance: tangible, traceable, and beloved.

A Complete Proof of Concept

To make the tokenisation process fully FCA-compliant, we structured My Spice Bus Limited as a company limited by guarantee, issued 500,000 membership units, and made these units available to investors from just £10 each. We applied the same rigorous legal, financial, and governance standards that would apply to a multimillion-pound property.

This included:

  • Legal documentation vetted by FCA-experienced lawyers.
  • Integration with smart contracts to automate distribution and track ownership.
  • Custom-built financial reporting systems.
  • Real asset registration with the DVLA.
  • And direct investor participation, including voting rights on key decisions.

This wasn’t a marketing stunt. This was infrastructure testing and it worked.
