Original: “Securitize and Mantle Launch Institutional Crypto Fund”
Tokenization platform Securitize has partnered with DeFi protocol Mantle to launch an institutional fund aimed at generating returns through a diversified cryptocurrency portfolio, the companies announced.
Securitize stated in an announcement on April 24 that similar to traditional index funds that track a basket of stocks, the Mantle Index Four (MI4) fund is designed to provide investors with exposure to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, while also including stablecoins pegged to the US dollar.
The fund also integrates liquid staking tokens—including Mantle's mETH, Bybit's bbSOL, and Ethena's USDe—to enhance returns through on-chain yield, according to the announcement.
The launch of this fund comes as retail and institutional investors increase their exposure to cryptocurrencies, particularly Bitcoin, as a hedge against growing macroeconomic uncertainty.
“Cryptocurrency's S&P 500 Index”
This market-cap-weighted index fund aims to “become the de facto standard in the cryptocurrency space, similar to the S&P 500 Index (SPX) or the S&P 500,” said Timothy Chen, Mantle's Global Head of Strategy, in a statement.
The company provides institutions with a way to generate yield through digital assets. According to DefiLlama data, one of Mantle's liquid staking products—mETH—had an annualized yield of approximately 3.78% for holders as of April 24. The protocol's total value locked (TVL) exceeds $680 million.
Securitize is one of the most popular platforms for institutional tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), with a market share of approximately 71% as of April 24, according to RWA.xyz data. Its largest affiliated fund—the Blackstone Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUILD)—has over $2.5 billion in net assets.
In March, Securitize co-founder and CEO Carlos Domingo told Cointelegraph that the demand for tokenized funds is accelerating as “institutional investors, private equity firms, and credit management companies are turning to tokenization to improve efficiency, reduce operational friction, and enhance liquidity.”
