ARK Invest Tokenized Fund Goes Live On Ethereum With Securitize
ARK Invest Tokenized Fund Launches on Ethereum
ARK Invest and Securitize confirmed on September 24, 2026, that the ARK Invest tokenized fund, known officially as the ARK Venture Fund (ARKVX), is now live on Ethereum.
Securitize built the infrastructure behind the tokenized share class, according to the official release from Miami.
The strategy invests across private and public technology companies tied to disruptive innovation. Its holdings include stakes in OpenAI, Anthropic, Stripe, and Databricks, based on the official announcement. Fund holdings are subject to change.
Inside the ARKVX Tokenization Deal
Cathie Wood, founder and CIO of the firm, said tokenization has the potential to reshape how investors access private and public markets. She called the launch a natural extension of the mission to widen access to innovation-focused investing.
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said the launch builds on ARK's strategic investment in Securitize from October 2025.
That earlier deal focused on advancing institutional adoption of tokenized securities and strengthening capital markets infrastructure.

How Investors Can Access the ARK Invest Tokenized Fund
Eligible investors can view fund details through the Securitize platform at securitize.io/arkvx
The offering stays a closed-end interval fund, so redemptions follow set repurchase windows

Investors should read the strategy prospectus before investing
Feature | Traditional ARKVX Access | ARK Invest On-Chain Access |
Infrastructure | Standard offering administration | Blockchain-based, via Securitize |
Network | Not applicable | Ethereum |
Onboarding | Through offering channels | Through Securitize's platform |

What Remains Unconfirmed
A post on X dated September 24, 2026, described the launch as moving tokenization from payments infrastructure toward around-the-clock investment access.
This detail does not appear in the official Securitize release. Readers should treat the 24/7 access claim as unconfirmed until ARK or Securitize addresses it directly. This is part of today's wider crypto news cycle around tokenized funds.

What This Tokenization Means for Investors
ARK Invest's move adds to a growing wave of asset managers bringing traditional investment vehicles on-chain. Firms like Apollo, BlackRock, and KKR have already partnered with the same digital-asset infrastructure provider on similar projects, based on public company profiles.
This shift lets eligible investors interact with an actively managed venture strategy through blockchain rails, rather than through conventional channels alone. The underlying legal structure, risk profile, and investment approach stay the same.
What changes is the access layer investors use to participate. Analysts see this as part of a broader pattern of regulated infrastructure adoption across the asset management industry.
Conclusion
The ARK Invest tokenized fund marks another step in ARK's multi-year push toward blockchain-based investment infrastructure. The core strategy and its risks stay the same, since the underlying holdings and management approach remain unchanged.
What changes is the access layer: how eligible investors reach ARKVX through Securitize's platform rather than a traditional brokerage account. For qualifying investors, this can mean faster onboarding and a more streamlined way to hold fund shares.
It reflects a broader industry shift toward tokenized access for established products, not a change to the underlying strategy.
