Tokenized Funds
A tokenized fund, also known as a digital fund, on-chain fund or a BTF (blockchain-traded fund), is an investment vehicle whose shares or units are digitally represented and can be traded and recorded on a distributed ledger. Investors own the tokens that represent shares or units in the fund.
