ARK Invest has partnered with Securitize to tokenize its ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX), which holds equity in private tech companies including OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks. Securitize will handle on-chain issuance and investor services, with the tokenized fund initially launching on Ethereum before potentially expanding to other blockchains. Investors will receive blockchain-based representations of fund interests rather than direct on-chain shares of the underlying portfolio companies. Securitize plans to provide daily net asset value updates and support trading of these fund interests on blockchain markets, though the tokens do not enable free trading of the underlying private company equity.
