DigiFT Introduces US Treasury Bill DR Tokens
DigiFT, a Singapore-based fintech company, has entered the digital asset market by launching its US Treasury bill depository receipt (DR) tokens. These tokens provide investors with fractional ownership in US Treasury bills, offering exposure to the secure US debt market without requiring significant upfront capital.
Empowering Investors Through DR Tokens
Traditionally, investing in US Treasury bills has been capital-intensive. DigiFT’s DR tokens aim to break down this barrier by enabling investors to purchase fractional shares of these bills. Henry Zhang, the founder and CEO of DigiFT, highlighted the innovative DR structure that gives investors direct ownership of assets and returns, addressing a key challenge in the current market.
Regulatory Compliance and Investor Protection
DigiFT emphasizes compliance with regulations to provide investors with peace of mind. By adhering to regulatory standards, the company aims to simplify the investment process and enhance accessibility for investors. The company’s first offering, DigiFT US Treasury Tokens (DRUST), is backed by AA+ rated US Treasury Bills, tailored for stablecoin issuers and Web3 product developers.
Tokenized Funds on the Rise
Moody’s reported a significant increase in the value of tokenized funds, driven by the tokenization of US treasuries. Public and private blockchains are witnessing the inclusion of various assets, with examples like Franklin Templeton’s U.S. Government Money Fund expanding to different blockchains and UBS Asset Management deploying a tokenized money market fund on Ethereum.
The tokenization of MMFs offers benefits such as enhanced market liquidity, reduced costs, fractionalization, and transparency. Moody’s highlighted the efficiency and untapped potential of blockchain-based tokenized funds in investing in assets like government bonds.
