Tokenized ARKVX goes live, bringing ARK's OpenAI and Anthropic stakes to Ethereum

ARK Invest is bringing its ARK Venture Fund onchain through Securitize, giving eligible investors access to a portfolio including OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe and Databricks.

Tokenized ARKVX went live on Ethereum on Sept. 24. This is the first ARK fund onchain.

The venture fund carries about $1.3 billion in net assets

Tokenizing ARKVX doesn’t put any shares of OpenAI or Anthropic directly on a blockchain. Investors get a blockchain version of their stake in the fund itself.

ARKVX is an actively managed closed-end interval fund that invests in private and public technology companies. ARK’s website says it has around $1.3 billion in net assets under management.

Securitize oversees onchain issuance and the investor experience. Ethereum is the first, and perhaps other networks will be added later.

Buyers pay in USDC, and fund tokens arrive once NAV is set, Securitize said.

“ARK has built its business around identifying transformative technologies early and then acting with conviction,” said Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize.

Securitize post on X from September 24, 2026, explaining how ARKVX subscriptions work after the fund went live.

Cathie Wood’s firm backed Securitize in October 2025

Securitize plans to publish a daily net asset value for the fund and allow the tokenized interests to trade on blockchain-based markets. ARK’s fund disclosures still confine liquidity to periodic repurchase offers, which may be oversubscribed.

“Making the ARK Venture Fund available onchain is a natural extension of our mission to democratize access to technologically enabled disruptive innovation,” said ARK’s founder, CEO and CIO Cathie Wood.

The deal builds on ARK’s strategic investment in Securitize in October 2025. In October 2025, Cryptopolitan reported that ARK Venture Fund was among the backers of Securitize, along with BlackRock and Morgan Stanley.

Cryptopolitan reported Treasuries led the way as tokenized real-world assets exceeded $38 billion earlier this month.

The 30-year Treasury just hit a 22-year high — and the bond market is not pricing the Fed, it is pricing the deficitThe 30-year Treasury yield closed at 5.56% on 28 September, the highest since June 2004, while the 10-year reached 5.24% and the 20-year 5.60%. The curve has steepened roughly 30bp in eight sessions even as October hike odds sit at 70.3%. That gap is the story: the long end is repricing fiscal and inflation risk, not policy. With PCE on Wednesday and payrolls on Friday, here is what the long end is really saying.

Nvidia's $150 billion buyback landed — and the AI sector fell anyway. That's the signal worth tradingNvidia closed up 1.68% at $228.86 on 28 September after announcing a $150 billion share repurchase authorisation, the largest single corporate buyback on record, while the rest of the AI complex sold off: AMD -3.6%, Micron -2.6%, Meta -4.8% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index -1.61%. The divergence is not noise. Capital is rotating toward cash-flow certainty, not abandoning the AI theme. With Micron reporting after the close on 30 September, here is what the split means.
