"By partnering with Libeara to offer a tokenized Singapore dollar government bond fund for all our investors, we are ensuring that we can provide additional investment opportunities enabled by lower operating costs, higher transparency and higher operational efficiency,” Sue Lynn Lim, CEO and COO of FundBridge Capital said in the press statement.
Banks and other financial players are increasingly offering tokenized assets. HSBC said last week that it had recently introduced tokenized gold and that it planned to offer a tokenized securities custody service for institutions. Last month, Singapore, Japan, U.K. and Swiss regulators said they planned to conduct tokenization tests for asset management products.
