What transpired: Ethereum, UBS Asset Management’s preferred network, has accepted its live pilot of a tokenized Variable Capital Company (VCC) fund. VCC is a part of Project Guardian, a larger industry collaboration effort run by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), which aims to use blockchain technology to increase market liquidity and bring a variety of real-world assets on-chain.
The test will begin using UBS Tokenize, an internal tokenization tool. It will show up on the Ethereum public blockchain as a smart contract. USB Asset Management will use the pilot for operations including fund subscriptions and redemptions.
The initiative is a component of UBS Asset Management’s worldwide distributed ledger technology strategy, which aims to employ public and private blockchain networks for improved fund issuance and distribution.
