AAA-Rated Credit Goes On-Chain: Securitize and BNY Mellon Launch Tokenized CLO Fund

Securitize and BNY Mellon have teamed up to introduce a tokenized fund that brings AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs) onto the Ethereum blockchain.

The new offering leverages blockchain infrastructure to enable institutional-grade credit products to trade, settle, and manage liquidity in a more programmable and efficient way.

This initiative represents a significant step toward bridging traditional finance and decentralized systems. By combining BNY Mellon’s custody and servicing expertise with Securitize’s tokenization platform, the fund aims to open credit markets to a broader class of investors and reduce operational frictions. The move also underscores growing institutional confidence in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) as part of mainstream financial portfolios.
