Archax, a UK and EU regulated digital asset exchange, custodian, and brokerage, has announced the launch of its Pool Token functionality on the Hedera Network.
This new functionality facilitates on-chain, multi-asset portfolio or basket creation by putting a range of already tokenised assets into a new token.
The range of underlying asset types can be wholly diverse too, from debt to exchange traded products (ETPs) and individual savings accounts.
The first Pool Token being minted on Hedera will hold equal parts of money market funds from four leading asset managers — Aberdeen, BlackRock, State Street, and Legal & General — effectively creating a natively digital ‘fund of money market funds’.
According to the firm, this innovation addresses the growing demand for more efficient, cost-effective investment products and traditional securitisation, while sophisticated, remains costly, complex, and operationally inefficient.
Pool Tokens enable the entire securitisation process to become near-instantaneous, composable, and accessible at near-zero cost.
The technology applications extend beyond money market funds to any asset with constituent parts that can be composed together, separated, or further pooled — including funds of funds, ETPs, indices, and structured investment products.
Graham Rodford, Archax co-founder and CEO, says: “This launch represents the launch of unprecedented flexibility in portfolio build and fund creation on-chain. By enabling the creation of Pool Tokens, an issuer could come to us to create a natively on-chain portfolio, basket, index or fund.
“Tokenised portfolios can be assembled, transferred, and managed with speed and flexibility, so we're eliminating the operational inefficiencies that have long plagued traditional investment structures — all while maintaining regulatory compliance and institutional-grade security.”
