- Singapore-regulated DigiFT is launching the world’s first fully on-chain index funds with tokenized equities and cryptocurrencies.
- The platform will offer two index funds: one tracking AI stocks (including Apple, Tesla, and Microsoft) and another tracking major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- The tokenized structure eliminates traditional financial intermediaries, offering 24/7 access and increased transparency, but will initially be limited to accredited and institutional investors.
Singapore-regulated cryptocurrency exchange DigiFT has unveiled plans to launch what it claims is the first-ever index fund where both shares and underlying stocks are tokenized and traded entirely on a blockchain network.
The platform, which operates under a license from Singapore’s Monetary Authority, has formed a strategic partnership with investment firm Hash Global to introduce two groundbreaking index funds, according to a statement from the company.
These pioneering funds will track different asset classes: one focused on leading Artificial Intelligence stocks and another monitoring major cryptocurrency assets. This innovative approach replaces conventional financial infrastructure—including brokers, custodians, and banks—with smart contracts and stablecoins on a blockchain.
Investors will be able to participate in these funds using the stablecoins USDT or USDC, with complete visibility of fund holdings in real-time through the blockchain’s transparent ledger system.
"By bringing real-world equities fully on-chain, we remove inefficiencies, enhance accessibility, and set a new standard for how portfolios are structured, traded, and managed in a blockchain-native environment," said Henry Zhang, CEO of DigiFT.
The first offering, called the DigiFT Hash Global AI Index Fund, will provide exposure to major technology companies including Apple, Tesla, and Microsoft. These equity positions will be tokenized to accurately reflect their real-world stock values, creating a bridge between traditional markets and blockchain technology.
The second fund will track major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana, offering diversified exposure to digital assets in a structured investment vehicle.
According to the companies, this tokenized structure delivers significant advantages over traditional investment products, including round-the-clock access, enhanced transparency of holdings, and improved liquidity. Hash Global emphasized that tokenized equities represent "the most important" real-world asset class to bring onto blockchain networks.
The innovation marks a significant development in the integration of traditional finance with blockchain technology. However, accessibility will initially be limited—both funds will only be available to accredited and institutional investors at launch, restricting retail participation for now.
