Securitize, Mantle launch institutional crypto fund
Securitize has partnered with Mantle to launch the Mantle Index Four (MI4) Fund, aimed at providing institutional investors with yield on a diverse range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), and Solana (SOL), along with US dollar-pegged stablecoins. The fund will also utilize liquid staking tokens like Mantle’s mETH and Bybit’s bbSOL to enhance returns through on-chain yield. The MI4 Fund seeks to become the "S&P 500 of crypto," according to Mantle's global head of strategy. Mantle's liquid staking product, mETH, offers approximately 3.78% APR. Securitize holds a 71% market share in tokenizing real-world assets and manages the BlackRock Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUILD) with over $2.5 billion in net assets. Demand for tokenized funds is increasing among institutional investors for improved efficiency and liquidity.
