Aviva Investors launches tokenized fund after Central Bank of Ireland approval

The new XRPL-based share class gives eligible investors blockchain-based access to a regulated US dollar liquidity fund while keeping traditional custody arrangements.
Aviva Investors, the London-based asset management arm of Aviva Plc, has launched a tokenized share class of its US Dollar Liquidity Fund on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) after receiving approval from the Central Bank of Ireland, marking another step in the growth of tokenized real-world assets.
The company announced that the tokenized share class will be available to eligible investors with digital wallets. The fund’s underlying assets will continue to be held by custodian BNY Mellon, while Komainu will provide digital asset custody and Licuido will supply the tokenization infrastructure.
