Cathie Wood’s ARK Invest has made a significant investment of $10 million in Securitize, a firm leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize real-world assets. This move positions Securitize among ARK Venture Fund’s top holdings, representing approximately 3.25% of the fund’s total assets, valued at $325.3 million as of September 30th. Founded in 2017, Securitize provides a platform for individuals to tokenize assets like bonds, stocks, and funds on blockchain networks. The company gained prominence through its collaboration with BlackRock on the BUIDL Fund, a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund boasting $2.8 billion in assets. ARK’s investment reflects an increasing interest in this sector expected to reach trillions of dollars in value within the next few years as traditional institutions embrace blockchain-based financial solutions.
