Tokenized Funds: Opening Up Venture Capital and Real Estate Funds to More Investors

Tokenization is transforming how investment funds operate. Venture capital funds, real estate vehicles, and other pooled asset structures are increasingly turning to tokenization to enable fractional ownership, global investor access, and greater liquidity. Traditionally reserved for wealthy individuals and institutions, private fund investments can now be democratized—thanks to the efficiency of blockchain technology and platforms like ONINO.

What Is a Tokenized Fund?

A tokenized fund is a traditional investment fund (e.g., venture capital, real estate, infrastructure) whose shares or units are represented by digital tokens on a blockchain. Each token reflects a proportional stake in the fund, entitling its holder to rights such as capital returns, income distributions, and governance.

Unlike conventional fund interests that rely on paper-based systems or custodian infrastructure, tokenized funds are recorded on-chain and can be issued, transferred, and managed with smart contracts.

Key Advantages for Fund Managers and Investors

✅ Fractional Participation

Tokenization enables minimum investment sizes far below traditional thresholds. With tokenized funds, retail investors can contribute €100 instead of €100,000, opening the door to a broader capital base.

✅ Enhanced Liquidity

ONINO’s secondary market infrastructure allows fund tokens to be traded peer-to-peer after issuance, providing a viable exit path for investors—something historically rare in private markets.

✅ Streamlined Operations

Fund administrators can automate KYC/AML onboarding, investor registry updates, and payout calculations through ONINO’s platform, significantly reducing overhead.

✅ Global Reach

Tokens can be distributed digitally to verified investors across the EU and beyond, bypassing geographic and institutional barriers.
