ARK Invest’s ARK Venture Fund is being brought onchain through a partnership with Securitize, according to reports. The tokenization effort provides exposure to a venture portfolio of private technology companies, with initial deployment on Ethereum.
The outlets describe the ARK Venture Fund as a tokenized product managed through Securitize’s platform, with potential expansion beyond Ethereum in the future. CoinDesk and The Block both note that the portfolio includes stakes connected to major private-sector technology firms, including OpenAI and Anthropic, alongside exposure to Stripe. The Block specifies the fund’s size as $1.3 billion and identifies the onchain vehicle as ARKVX.
While both reports align on the core details—ARK Invest tokenizing the ARK Venture Fund via Securitize on Ethereum—coverage differs mainly in emphasis. CoinDesk focuses on the broader move to put venture exposure onchain and the role of widely used AI-related holdings, while The Block underscores the scale of the fund and the tokenization identifier tied to the Ethereum rollout.
