US asset manager ARK Invest announced on September 24 that it has tokenized its roughly $1.3 billion ARK Venture Fund through the digital securities platform Securitize.

ARKVX is an actively managed fund that invests in both private and public companies developing innovative technologies, with holdings including OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks. Through Securitize, investors can access ARKVX tokens on Ethereum. Founder, CEO, and CIO Cathie Wood described the initiative as putting into practice her conviction about the evolution of capital markets. The partnership between the two companies began when ARK Invest made a strategic investment in Securitize in October 2025.

KTAM launches KTSV fund as low-risk option to weather market volatility
Krungthai Asset Management Public Company Limited, or KTAM, has launched the Krung Thai Government Money Market Fund (KTSV), a money market fund with a risk level of 1 that focuses on investing in Thai government securities, averaging no less than 80 percent of NAV per fiscal year, with the remainder invested in deposits, debt instruments, and other financial instruments with repayment on demand or maturities not exceeding 397 days. Ms. Chavinda Hanratanakool, Managing Director, said investment markets continue to face ongoing volatility, prompting investors to adjust strategies to reduce risk and turn to lower-risk investments. The KTSV fund offers two unit classes: the accumulation class (KTSV-A) and the token class (KTSV-KTB). KTSV-KTB is available for investment only through the NEXT application and all Krung Thai Bank branches, and has been changed from the previous KTB class to a token class to support the trading and redemption of units issued in token form, as well as new services Krung Thai Bank plans to offer investors in the future, without affecting the rights and benefits of existing unitholders and without changing the fund's investment policy or risk level.
