British asset manager Baillie Gifford has launched a tokenized fixed income fund, adding another entry into the list of products that use blockchain for access to conventional yield products. The fund operates on both Ethereum and Solana blockchains, while BNY is responsible for tokenizing and providing digital wallet services. The news was shared via CoinMarketCap’s X post, which included some initial information about the launch.
Tokenized Fund Structure Across Ethereum and Solana
The Baillie Gifford investment fund was designed to be used on both the Ethereum and Solana blockchains. Using two large blockchain networks with smart contracts and settlement of digital assets would allow the fund to interact with the two blockchain environments.
Ethereum is one of the most popular environments where decentralized apps work. Solana offers high transaction speeds and reduced fees. It allows the fund to operate across different technological platforms within the blockchain space.
BNY Role in Tokenization and Digital Infrastructure
BNY provides the tokenization protocol that transforms conventional financial assets into tokens through blockchain. The company also offers wallet services that will facilitate custody and processing of transactions. This places a regulated financial institution in the operational layer of the fund’s blockchain deployment.
This infrastructure enables the issuance and transfer of tokenized assets in a secure way. It also facilitates interoperability between the conventional finance system and blockchain.
