Listed token investment — Provides institutional-grade access for listed companies to invest in high-quality digital-asset opportunities. Tokenized stock trading service — Drives the adoption of on-chain stocks and strengthens liquidity, with the Fund set to scale further to support investments across both traditional stocks and their tokenized versions.
