ARK Invest has partnered with Securitize to bring tokenized access to its ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) to Ethereum, according to an announcement from Securitize. The move enables blockchain-native ownership of the fund's underlying private venture investments without requiring traditional custody arrangements. The fund's top holdings include SpaceX, Kalshi, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
The tokenization allows investors to hold fund shares as digital assets on Ethereum's public blockchain, potentially lowering barriers to entry and enabling greater liquidity and composability within decentralized finance infrastructure. This structure bridges traditional venture capital instruments with on-chain settlement and ownership verification.
Details about token mechanics, minimum investment thresholds, eligibility requirements, and the timeline for full deployment remain unclear from available disclosures.
