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.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you move on, I was hoping you would consider taking the step of supporting CryptoCaster’s journalism. 

From  Elon Musk, Larry Fink(BlackRock) to Jamie Dimon(JP Morgan Chase) a number of billionaire owners have a powerful hold on so much of the hidden agendas’ which eludes the public concerning the paradigm shift juxtaposed by cryptocurrency and web3 emerging technologies. CryptoCaster is different. We have no billionaire owner or shareholders to consider. Our journalistic efforts are produced to serve the public interest in crypto development and institutional disruptions – not profit motives.

And we avoid the trap that befalls much U.S. and global media – the tendency, born of a desire to please all sides, to engage in false equivalence in the name of neutrality and retail consumer protection. While fairness and transparency dictates everything we do, we know there is a right and a wrong position in the fight against fiat global banking interest and monetary reconstruction precipitated by the emerging crypto ecology.

When we report on issues like the FTX, Binance and Ripple crisis, we’re not afraid to name who or what is uncovered. And as a crypto sentinel, we’re able to provide a fresh, outsider perspective on the global monetary disruption – one so often missing from the insular American and European media bubble. 

Around the world, readers can access the CryptoCaster’s paywall-free journalism because of our unique reader-supported model. That’s because of people like you. Our readers keep us independent, beholden to no outside influence and accessible to everyone – whether they can afford to pay for news and information, or not.
