Amundi issued a tokenized share class of its Core STOXX Europe 600 equity index fund on public Ethereum on November 5, with CACEIS providing the tokenization infrastructure. The tokens represent units in the existing fund, not separate shares in its underlying companies. Investors can still use traditional channels to access the fund.
Amundi’s announcement did not specify who can buy the tokenized units, minimum subscriptions, fees, transfer restrictions or redemption procedures. Issuance on a public blockchain does not establish unrestricted retail access or permissionless use on DeFi platforms.
