VanEck Launches its First Tokenized Fund on Securitize

Initially available on Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana, qualified investors can subscribe to VBILL to access a fully-collateralized, blockchain-based alternative to money market funds backed by U.S. Treasuries, with 24/7 liquidity and real-time settlement.

VanEck, a top global investment management firm, in partnership with Securitize, the leading platform for real-world assets with over $3.9 billion (as of May 12, 2025) in tokenized securities, announced the launch of the VanEck® Treasury Fund, Ltd. (“VBILL”), its first tokenized fund, designed to provide investors with secure, real-time access to U.S. Treasury-backed assets.

VBILL is initially available across the Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana blockchains, with cross-chain interoperability enabled by Wormhole to facilitate seamless and secure token transfers. VBILL leverages Securitize’s integrated services, including tokenization, fund administration, transfer agency, and broker-dealer capabilities to enhance market access, liquidity options, and operational efficiency.

VBILL is purpose built to facilitate a broader range of use cases including atomic liquidity via Agora’s USD stablecoin (“AUSD”). VBILL enables 24/7 issuance via USDC onramps, positioning the fund as a core building block for on-chain financial market participants.

“We are proud to continue enhancing how investors access tokenized securities,” said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. “This collaboration merges the best of Securitize’s fully integrated tokenization model with VanEck’s deep expertise of asset management. With VBILL, our combined efforts demonstrate tokenization’s ability to create new market opportunities with the speed, transparency, and programmability of blockchain technology.”

“By bringing U.S. Treasuries on-chain, we are providing investors with a secure, transparent, and liquid tool for cash management, further integrating digital assets into mainstream financial markets,” said Kyle DaCruz, Director of Digital Assets Product at VanEck. Tokenized funds like VBILL are enhancing market liquidity and efficiency, underscoring our commitment to providing value to our investors.”

Shares of VBILL are issued and recorded on blockchain networks, offering investors greater transparency and faster settlement times compared to traditional fund structures. The fund is designed for institutional and qualified investors. Minimum subscriptions start at $100,000 for investments on Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Solana, and $1,000,000 on Ethereum.

The fund will be administered by Securitize Fund Services, with Redstone serving as the oracle network to provide daily net asset value (NAV) calculations. The custodian of the fund’s assets is State Street Bank and Trust Company.

The VanEck® Treasury Fund, Ltd. is organized under the laws of the British Virgin Islands, with Van Eck Absolute Return Advisers Corporation serving as investment manager and Van Eck Securities Corporation as marketing agent. Securitize Markets, LLC acts as the placement agent for the offering.
