We are proud to announce progress in our collaboration with CACEIS, the European leader in asset servicing, and Ant International, a leading global player in digital payments, digitization, and financial technologies.
We have successfully launched tokenised shares of the Amundi Money Market Fund – Short Term in euros and US dollars, developed specifically for Ant International following a Memorandum of Understanding signed in November aimed at exploring blockchain innovations for real-time treasury management and tokenised investment solutions.
As the pioneering client of the initiative, we partnered with Ant International to develop a real-time investment solution for its intra-group liquidity management needs. With CACEIS acting as the transfer agent and tokenization agent, this tripartite collaboration enhances the overall efficiency of Ant International’s operations and its on-chain treasury capabilities.
We are delighted to support Ant International in this pioneering project and to further advance the real-world applications of tokenisation in investment solutions. This collaboration brings together leading institutions committed to innovation and to seizing opportunities emerging in the digital asset space. It also reflects Amundi’s dedication to meeting the evolving needs of sophisticated clients and our ambition to shaping the future of finance.
Building on this success, the three parties are now exploring the potential launch of the Amundi Money Market Fund - Short Term on Whale, Ant International’s internal blockchain-based treasury management platform. By combining Amundi’s investment expertise, CACEIS’s expertise in digital assets and Ant International’s cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure, the collaboration aims to onboard Amundi funds onto the Whale platform and co-develop new money market funds solutions that can better serve treasurers worldwide.
With Ant International, we are also exploring expanding the solution to new markets and currencies. The implementation of these advancements remains subject to receipt of all required legal and regulatory approvals.
