UAE based XDC Network, an enterprise-grade Layer-1 blockchain, have launched the first money fund tokens on its platform in collaboration with Archax, the FCA regulated digital asset exchange, broker and custodian.

As per the announcement this builds on the previous partnership announcement between XDC and Archax for real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The first fund tokens that are live represent four of the world’s largest MMFs from providers including abrdn, Fidelity International and State Street, and will be followed by others from the 100+ available through Archax from a variety of asset managers.

Tokenized access to money market funds addresses a growing demand from institutional investors for regulated, digital-first financial products. There are currently $11.5 billion tokenized RWAs on-chain with some projections estimating the value could reach $16 trillion by 2030. By bringing these established investment vehicles onto the blockchain, XDC Network and Archax are creating new opportunities for improved liquidity, faster settlement, and reduced operational costs.

“Providing digital representations of major MMFs opens up a potential new audience for these types of yield-bearing products that historically have been challenging for some to access,” said Keith O’Callaghan, Head of Asset Management and Structuring at Archax. “We’re excited to hit this milestone with XDC Network, a firm that is poised to become one of the railways of the future of the finance industry.”

The implementation leverages XDC Network’s delegated proof-of-stake consensus mechanism, enabling transactions with sub-second finality and near-zero gas fees. The platform’s enterprise-grade infrastructure aims to meet compliance with institutional requirements for security, scalability, and regulatory reporting.

“With our platform’s robust performance and functionality, we have the ideal protocol for real world asset tokenization for institutions who want to work with regulated entities like Archax,” said Angus O’Callaghan, Head of Trading and Markets at XDC Network. “We’re excited to be taking this next step in our partnership with Archax and unlock access to some of the world’s largest MMFs with transparency and efficiency.”

Earlier RAK DAO, the free zone for digital assets companies located in the emirate of Ras Al Khaimah UAE, partnered with XDC Blockchain the accelerator program – Builder’s Oasis with a funding pool of $2 million.
