DigiFT Launches On-Chain Index Fund to Tokenize Apple, Tesla, and Other Stocks

The funds, targeted at accredited and institutional investors, aim to transform portfolio management through the use of smart contracts and stablecoins.

Key Points:

• DigiFT, a Singapore-regulated cryptocurrency exchange, is launching the first on-chain index fund featuring tokenized shares and underlying stocks.

• The funds will leverage smart contracts and stablecoins, eliminating the need for traditional intermediaries such as brokers and banks.

• Two index funds will be available: one focused on top AI stocks and another tracking leading crypto assets.

Singapore-regulated cryptocurrency exchange DigiFT has announced plans to launch what it claims is the first on-chain index fund, where both shares and underlying stocks are tokenized and traded on-chain.

Licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the platform is partnering with investment firm Hash Global to introduce two index funds: one focused on top artificial intelligence (AI) stocks and another tracking leading crypto assets, according to a statement.

DigiFT claims this initiative eliminates traditional portfolio management infrastructure—including brokers, banks, and custodians—by leveraging smart contracts and stablecoins. Investors can subscribe to and redeem from the funds using USDT or USDC, with real-time fund holdings visible on the blockchain.

"By bringing real-world equities fully on-chain, we remove inefficiencies, enhance accessibility, and set a new standard for how portfolios are structured, traded, and managed in a blockchain-native environment," said Henry Zhang, CEO of DigiFT.

The DigiFT Hash Global AI Index Fund will provide exposure to AI-focused companies such as Apple, Tesla, and Microsoft, with tokenized shares reflecting their real-world stock values. A second fund will track major cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ether, and Solana.

This structure offers 24/7 access, enhanced transparency, and increased liquidity for investors. Hash Global described tokenized equities as “the most important” real-world asset to bring on-chain.

At launch, the funds will be available exclusively to accredited and institutional investors.
