  • The fund aims to provide exposure to the top 10 AI-related stocks, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla and Alphabet.
  • DigiFT claims investors can subscribe to the fund using stablecoins, eliminating traditional banking hurdles.

Real-world assets exchange DigiFT announced on Monday its plans to launch a new tokenized fund, the DigiFT Hash Global AI Index Fund. The on-chain product will offer exposure to the top 10 AI-related US stocks, including Nvidia (NVDA), Microsoft (MSFT), Tesla (TSLA), Alphabet (GOOGL) and Apple (AAPL).

Wall Street stocks set to debut in the crypto market

Wall Street stocks are on the verge of entering the tokenized fund market following a press release by DigiFT that it has partnered with Web3 Venture firm Hash Global to launch the DigiFT Hash Global AI Index Fund.

The fund will offer exposure to the price of the top 10 AI-related stocks in the US, including Nvidia, Apple, Microsoft, Tesla and Alphabet.

DigiFT claims it will tokenize not just fund shares but also the underlying company stocks, while Hash Global will act as the fund manager for the new tokenized stocks.

“Tokenizing the underlying assets — not just fund shares — fundamentally transforms how asset management operates, creating unprecedented liquidity, transparency, and accessibility for institutional investors,” said Henry Zhang, Founder & Chief Executive Officer of DigiFT.

The company also claims investors can subscribe to the tokenized fund using stablecoin payments, removing the need for traditional banking services.

Additionally, DigiFT stated that alongside the AI-related US stocks, Hash Global will launch the DigiFT Hash Global Web3 Index Fund. The fund will offer exposure to the top 10 crypto assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana.

Most asset managers have also begun launching their own tokenized funds. Franklin Templeton holds the oldest fund, the Franklin Onchain US Government Money Fund (FOBXX).

Asset manager BlackRock, in partnership with Securitze, launched the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity (BUIDL) Fund in 2024, which currently holds a market cap of $1.6 billion.

Furthermore, Fidelity Investments filed on Friday to register a tokenized version of its US Dollar money market with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The company aims to issue a Blockchain-based version of its Fidelity Treasury Digital Fund (FYHXX), using blockchains as transfer agents.
