ARK Invest Tokenizes $1.3 Billion Venture Fund on Ethereum

ARK Invest is taking its flagship venture strategy onchain by tokenizing its $1.3 billion ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) on Ethereum with Securitize.

This move marks one of the largest actively managed venture funds to launch a blockchain share class and lowers the minimum investment threshold for eligible investors to $500.

The ARKVX fund holds some of technology's most sought-after private companies, including SpaceX, OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Replit, alongside public innovation names.

The tokenization process provides blockchain-native record-keeping for the fund, allowing for streamlined access and transparent ownership for investors.
