The firm\u2019s founder and CEO Henry Zhang aims to work with a range of fund partners to build out a suite of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018That\u2019s the first but the intention is there will be a rich supply from the reputable names,\u2019 Zhang told Citywire Asia. \u2018We\u2019re dedicated to that because we believe it\u2019s the future, more and more things are moving on-chain, just like 30 years ago, step by step, things moving online.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DigiFT partnered with UBS Asset Management to distribute the Swiss giant\u2019s first tokenised fund, a money market product, uMint, in November. The platform also offers tokenised US Treasury investments and bank bonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Asset managers and banks have been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/citywire.com\/asia\/news\/hamilton-lane-chair-eyes-tokenisation-developments-under-new-us-regime\/a2456391?utm_medium=website&amp;utm_source=citywire_asia&amp;utm_campaign=article-in-body\">increasingly looking at tokenisation<\/a>&nbsp;as a way to broaden their distribution. The format has proven popular with alternatives managers, enabling them to offer strategies such as private markets, hedge funds and wine at a much lower ticket size through the technology. The minimum investment for the Invesco fund token will be confirmed at launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zhang also sees significant benefits in using blockchain to improve liquidity in strategies that often only allow monthly or quarterly redemptions. The Invesco fund offers daily liquidity, but with T+5 settlement, meaning it takes up to five days to complete the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018You can create a liquidity pool and provide 24\/7 liquidity and settle in seconds. That\u2019s the feature we want to launch as a next step,\u2019 Zhang said. The firm is talking to funding providers for the liquidity pool, which over time would be used less if volume builds in the secondary trading market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondary market trading in fund tokens remains thin, as the fledgling technology remains niche.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zhang sees the surge in popularity of cryptocurrency investing, which has gained added momentum by hopes US president Donald Trump will ease regulation, as a positive for on-chain TradFi investments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2018They\u2019re not competing and are complementing each other. We use blockchain and Web3 as a way to further upgrade and digitise the current financial market,\u2019 he said. \u2018Crypto is good, but doesn\u2019t do everything, for example it usually does not provide a consistent cashflow, so the crypto investors want to diversify into real-world assets.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DigiFT received its regulatory permissions from the Monetary Authority of Singapore, including a capital markets services license, last year. It is a graduate of MAS\u2019s regulatory sandbox, which enables companies to road-test new technologies in a regulated environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company raised $10.5m in November to fund its expansion, with its backers including Fosun Group co-founder Liang Xinjun\u2019s Xin Enterprise investment company and venture capital firms Shanda Group and Hash Global.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Originally published on Citywire on <a href=\"https:\/\/citywire.com\/asia\/news\/singapore-platform-offers-tokenised-invesco-private-credit-fund\/a2459950\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.ledgerinsights.com\/invesco-partners-digift-for-tokenized-private-credit-fund\/\">19 February 2025<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Read our story on Citywire Asia about our collaboration with Invesco to launch a tokenised version of one of its US private credit strategies.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":256897725,"featured_media":3867,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_oasis_is_in_workflow":0,"_oasis_original":0,"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"page_builder":"","_wpcom_ai_launchpad_first_post":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3865","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"acf":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pg7Ide-10l","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insights.digift.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/ImageDetail_33017b16-83fd-41cd-9bea-9a67536c3c59-1.jpg?fit=670%2C320&ssl=1","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3865","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/256897725"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3865"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3865\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7371,"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3865\/revisions\/7371"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/insights.digift.io\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
