- VanEck has introduced a tokenized Treasury fund in partnership with Securitize, targeting institutional and qualified investors.
- The new fund allows investment on several popular blockchains with minimum subscriptions starting at $100,000 on most chains and $1 million on Ethereum.
- Larger asset managers, including BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, are growing their tokenized fund offerings as demand rises among digital asset users and stablecoin issuers.
VanEck has launched the VanEck Treasury Fund (VBILL), a tokenized Treasury product built in collaboration with Securitize. This new fund will offer blockchain-based investment options to institutional and qualified investors.
The VBILL fund provides access to U.S. Treasury investments through tokenization, a process that converts real-world assets into blockchain tokens. According to Kyle DaCruz, Director of Digital Assets Product at VanEck, “By bringing U.S. Treasuries on-chain, we are providing investors with a secure, transparent, and liquid tool for cash management, further integrating digital assets into mainstream financial markets.” Securitize, which also supports BlackRock’s BUIDL money market fund, will handle tokenization, fund administration, and transfer agency for VBILL.
The fund is based in the British Virgin Islands and sets a minimum subscription amount of $100,000 for investments on Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Solana. For Ethereum, the minimum is $1 million. Most current interest in these tokenized funds comes from the digital asset sector, especially stablecoin providers who use them for their reserve assets. Data from the source shows that stablecoin issuers Sky and Ethena make up 72% of BlackRock’s BUIDL fund investments, totaling a combined $2.1 billion.
With recent changes in U.S. government policy, the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) has announced pilot projects for using tokenized collateral, and the CME Group is also testing blockchain technology. These developments could boost the adoption of tokenized Treasury funds.
A variety of traditional asset managers now offer tokenized funds. According to the data, BlackRock leads with $2.9 billion in such assets, followed by Franklin Templeton with $739 million, and Janus Henderson at $440 million. Other firms such as WisdomTree, Fidelity, and UBS have also entered the market. Several startups, including Ondo Finance, Superstate, and Circle (with Hashnote), are active in the space as well.
Tokenized funds use blockchain to represent ownership of assets like Treasuries, making it easier to buy, sell, and track investments. As technology adoption grows, more institutional investors may consider these digital alternatives for managing cash and reserves.
