We created the UK's first fully tokenised UCITS and on a public blockchain!
Awesome to see our tokenisation pilot @BaillieGifford out in the open. We launched the Strategic Bond Feeder Fund, structured as a UK UCITS, and the first fully tokenised regulated fund in the UK 1/

By tokenising the Strategic Bond Feeder Fund, we’re not just exploring new territory – we’re actively shaping the future of asset management.” A very cool part of the pilot included myself holding the fund's tokens in my self-custodied wallet. 5/
