Key Terms

4 terms

tokenization technical

"announce the tokenization of the ARK Venture Fund"

Tokenization is the process of converting real-world assets or rights into digital tokens stored on a computer network. This allows assets, such as property or investments, to be divided into smaller parts, making them easier to buy, sell, or transfer electronically. For investors, tokenization can increase access to a wider range of investments and make transactions faster and more efficient.

closed-end interval fund financial

"an actively managed closed-end interval fund"

A closed-end interval fund is an investment pool that issues a fixed number of shares and does not let investors redeem them any time; instead, the fund provides limited windows when shareholders can sell back shares to the fund or buy new ones. Think of it like a club that only opens its doors occasionally—this lower liquidity can lead shares to trade at prices above or below the fund’s underlying asset value, affecting returns and risk for investors.

blockchain-based infrastructure technical

"through blockchain-based infrastructure"

A blockchain-based infrastructure is a digital system that records transactions and data on a shared, tamper-resistant ledger distributed across many computers, so entries are visible and hard to change. For investors it matters because this setup can lower middleman costs, increase transparency and trust, and enable new business models or faster settlement—while also introducing risks like technical limits, energy use, and evolving regulation.

non-diversified financial

"The ARK Venture Fund is a non-diversified closed-end interval fund"

Non-diversified describes an investment vehicle or portfolio that concentrates its holdings in a relatively small number of stocks, bonds or similar assets rather than spreading money across many different holdings. It matters to investors because concentration can amplify both gains and losses — like carrying most of your groceries in a few bags instead of many — so these investments can be riskier and more volatile but may offer higher reward if the chosen assets perform well.

ARK's Venture Strategy Goes Onchain, Bringing Investors Exposure to Leading Private and Public Tech Companies and Advancing ARK Invest's Partnership with Securitize

MIAMI, Sept. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "ARK Invest, the disruptive innovation-focused investment manager founded by Cathie Wood, and Securitize Corp. (NYSE: SECZ), the world's leader in tokenized assets, announce the tokenization of the ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX) through Securitize."

ARK Invest Taps Securitize to Tokenize ARK Venture Fund

This launch brings one of ARK's flagship investment strategies onchain and marks the next phase of a relationship built around a shared conviction that tokenization can modernize how investment products are accessed, owned, and managed.

The ARK Venture Fund is an actively managed closed-end interval fund that seeks long-term growth of capital by investing across private and public companies aligned with disruptive innovation. Its portfolio includes investments in leading technology and innovation companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks, among others. Through the tokenization of ARKVX, eligible investors accessing the Fund through Securitize can gain exposure to this actively managed portfolio through blockchain-based infrastructure. Fund holdings are subject to change.

"Tokenizing the ARK Venture Fund puts our conviction in the evolution, if not revolution, of capital markets into practice," said Cathie Wood, Founder, CEO and CIO of ARK Invest. "Based on our research, tokenization has the potential to reshape fundamentally the way that investors access and participate in both private and public financial markets. Making the ARK Venture Fund available onchain is a natural extension of our mission to democratize access to technologically enabled disruptive innovation. Because it has built the regulated infrastructure to help make that vision a reality, we are excited to partner with Securitize in taking this important step forward."

Upon release, tokenized ARKVX will be available on Ethereum, with Securitize providing the infrastructure supporting its onchain issuance and investor experience.

"ARK has built its business around identifying transformative technologies early and then acting with conviction," said Carlos Domingo, Co-Founder and CEO of Securitize. "ARK's strategic investment in Securitize reflected a shared belief in the potential for tokenization to transform capital markets, and today we are putting that conviction into practice. Bringing ARKVX onchain demonstrates how leading asset managers can use tokenization to move established investment products onto modern capital markets infrastructure."

ARK Invest's strategic investment in Securitize, announced in October 2025, laid the groundwork for this expanded collaboration. Through that investment, they committed to advancing institutional adoption of tokenized securities, broadening access to regulated investment products, and strengthening capital markets infrastructure.
