Amundi tokenises a flagship European equity index fund on Ethereum
EUSource: Amundi
- Amundi announced on 5 November 2026 the launch of a tokenised share class of a flagship European equity index fund, described as a core European equity strategy widely used as a building block for portfolio allocation.
- The share class has been issued on the public Ethereum blockchain, remains fully integrated into the fund's existing operating model, and the fund continues to be available through traditional channels.
- Amundi says it developed the solution with CACEIS, using CACEIS's technology and infrastructure for tokenising fund units, and that it extends tokenisation beyond cash management solutions into index investing.
Why it matters
A large European asset manager has put an index fund share class on a public chain while keeping its existing operating model, which gives custody, distribution and collateral teams at banks a concrete example of tokenised fund units beyond money market funds.
