Securitize Introduces a New ETH Yield Fund as an Entry Point for Institutional Investors

The new ETH Fund joins Securitize's Bitcoin, S&P Large Cap Crypto, and USD Coin Funds in providing institutional investors with access to cryptocurrency and yield via lending strategies
Fremont, CA: The increasing use of digital assets in many areas, from healthcare and finance to publication and academia, is fueling the expansion of the digital asset management industry. Furthermore, it can result in considerable cost savings for the organization since it allows for faster production, storage, search, and transmission of marketing networks and content, which complements digital asset management systems.
Securitize Capital, a digital asset management platform that provides institutional-grade, tokenized funds, launched a regulated ETH Yield Fund as an onramp for investors to access a valuable blockchain protocol fueling the fast-growing DeFi, NFT, and Metaverse ecosystems, with the ability for yield derived from its lending.
"Due to high-profile cases of crypto businesses offering unregulated securities and banking products, there is a misconception that investors cannot access yield from crypto lending in a regulated way," said Wilfred Daye, Head of Securitize Capital. "Today, investors can access regulated, institutional-grade crypto funds and the potential for yield through Securitize with the ETH Yield Fund opened today, which joins our existing USDC and Bitcoin yield funds."
With investors pursuing substantial returns in the face of rising inflation and a volatile stock market, there is increased investor interest in the potential benefits of cryptocurrencies and yield schemes such as a stable coin plus yield (USDC Yield) and a cryptocurrency portfolio (Securitize-S&P Large Cap Crypto Fund). The ETH Yield Fund allows institutional investors to gain economic exposure to the DeFi, NFT, and Metaverse ecosystems to do so under compliance norms. Investing in the most widely used Ethereum blockchain, which powers these technologies, is a simple method for institutions to engage in blockchain-based innovations in a risk-managed manner, under Security and Exchange Commission Regulation D 506(c) and Regulation S 902.
