UBS Asset Management has introduced its first tokenized investment fund on Ethereum. Named “UBS USD Money Market Investment Fund Token” or ‘uMINT,’ the fund is designed for various authorized distribution partners across Singapore.

Tokenization is a process that converts traditional assets, like stocks or bonds, into digital tokens that can be managed on a blockchain, the decentralized technology underlying cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. These digital tokens represent a share of the asset, enabling investors to buy, sell, or hold portions of traditional financial products more efficiently.

UBS aims to capitalize on the rising demand for tokenization by leveraging its global resources and regulatory collaborations. Investors who purchase tokens in the uMINT fund will gain access to institutional-level money market assets within a conservative, risk-managed framework.

Tokenization Across Traditional Finance

Major financial institutions are increasingly exploring tokenization. Earlier this week, Franklin Templeton added Coinbase’s Base as the sixth blockchain supporting its OnChain U.S. Government Money Market Fund, allowing trades on the layer-2 network. Wellington Management also collaborated with Ondo Finance to boost liquidity for its recently launched tokenized U.S. Treasury Fund. The partnership aims to make traditional assets, like Treasury bonds, more accessible through tokenization and blockchain technology.

“Tokenization is revolutionizing the way investors access and manage traditional financial assets,” said a representative from UBS.
