3 key insights๐
๐ Fund tokenization is an industry-wide movement across numerous global asset managers. In late 2024, tokenized funds had already garnered more than $2 billion in assets under management (AUM).
โกBy enabling near-instant transactions, unlocking liquidity, and reducing operational friction, fund tokenization could generate about $100 billion in additional annual investment return for mutual fund investors, while creating new revenue streams for financial institutions.
๐ Mirroring the rise of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), tokenized fund AUM could reach 1% of global mutual fund and ETF AUM in just seven years. This would imply AUM of more than $600 billion by 2030.
The next 12โ18 months will be an inflection pint for the asset management industry. Reach out to Alexandre Tang and Solomon Tesfaye if you want learn more!
