ARK Invest Puts Flagship Fund on Blockchain via Securitize
ARK Invest has taken another step in its mission to democratize access to disruptive innovation by tokenizing the ARKVX fund on Ethereum via Securitize Corp. This move brings one of ARK's flagship strategies onchain for the first time.
The $ARK Venture Fund is an actively managed, closed-end interval fund that invests across private and public companies aligned with disruptive innovation. Its portfolio includes stakes in OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks, among others. Eligible investors who access the fund through Securitize gain exposure to leading private technology companies through blockchain-based infrastructure.
Cathie Wood, founder of ARK Invest, said that tokenizing the ARKVX fund puts their conviction in the evolution of capital markets into practice. Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, framed the launch as proof that established managers can move existing products onto modern rails.
