Digital found strives to introduce a tokenized S&P 500 fund

Digital Fund Michael Willis
  • Registered digital securities become "the new digital de facto marketplace," says the founder of Digital Funds
  • Wisdomtree applied last year to put on a digital short-term treasury find that recorded its shares secondarily on one or more blockchains

A newly founded Digital Asset Manager, who submitted his first ETF last month, tried to bring another offer to the market.

Digital Funds has applied for the laying of a tokenized S&P 500 EW index fund, which would mainly invest in the securities of issuers that are included in the S&P 500 Equal Weight Index A regulatory disclosure Submitted.

Although the official recording of the fund's shareholder in the book entry form, they are also recorded-as a digital token-in the Algorand Blockchain, the submission said. Fund shares can finally be recorded in other blockchain protocols.

The fund will not invest in assets that are dependent on blockchain technology, such as: B. cryptocurrencies, according to the registration states.

Michael Willis, who founded digital funds in December, told Blockworks that registered digital securities become "the new digital de facto marketplace", since the unregistered area is exposed to a more precise examination by the supervisory authorities.

"So far, the registered marketplace for digital securities has been lacking in a high quality, easy -to -price and immediately recognizable security," he added. "Therefore, adoption was limited. We believe that the approval of a marquee-toked index fund has the potential to break the acceptance far."

Likewise Wisdomtree

SUMIT ROY, crypto editor and analyst at ETF.com, previously told Blockworks that it was conceivable that the official record of shares will live on the blockchain in the future-so that investors can trade their shares peer-to-peer-but found that there are regulations to overcome hurdles first.

The recent submission of digital finds takes place after the company based in Florida announced in the past month of plans for the introduction of an S&P 500 Bitcoin 75/25 Index ETF. The proposed fund would invest about 75 % of its assets in large US companies within the S&P 500 Index and about 25 % of its assets in Bitcoin futures contracts.

Bitcoin described

Willis at the time as "really volatile" and found that the S&P 500 engagement gives more stability to a Bitcoin portfolio.

"We believe that registered digital securities will replace the current financial legacy system because they are better developed at every level," said Willis and pointed out the advantages of sales from anywhere and at any time with immediate processing. "Self-banking and peer-to-peer payments are a dream that was once considered impossible, but will soon become a reality."
