USDVanEck, Securitize Unveil Tokenized Treasury Fund on Four Blockchains
Securitize Expands Blockchain Integration with VBILL Fund
VanEck and Securitize have introduced a new tokenized U.S. Treasury fund, VanEck Treasury Fund Ltd. (VBILL), designed to provide investors with onchain exposure to U.S. Treasurys across Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana. The initiative leverages Securitize’s integrated services to enable cross-chain interoperability via Wormhole, aiming to enhance market liquidity and cash management efficiency. VanEck’s Director of Digital Assets Product, Kyle DaCruz, emphasized VBILL’s role in boosting market liquidity and efficiency while maintaining transparency, describing the fund as a secure and liquid tool for cash management.
Securitize, known for its extensive experience in tokenizing real-world assets, currently has over $3.9 billion in tokenized securities, collaborating with major financial players such as Apollo, BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, and KKR. The VBILL fund’s minimum investment thresholds differ by blockchain, requiring $100,000 for exposure on Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Solana, while Ethereum participants must invest a minimum of $1 million. Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo highlighted the fund’s ability to create new market opportunities by combining blockchain’s transparency and programmability with traditional financial assets.
This launch follows Securitize’s recent partnership with Mantle to introduce an institutional crypto index fund anchored by a $400 million commitment. The initiative aligns with the broader trend of tokenizing real-world assets, with RWA.xyz reporting nearly $23 billion in onchain real-world assets currently in circulation. By integrating blockchain technology into traditional financial products, Securitize aims to bridge the gap between conventional assets and emerging digital asset markets, positioning VBILL as a cornerstone in its expanding ecosystem.
