Amundi Unveils $100M Tokenized Fund with Chainlink as Key Infrastructure Provider

Amundi's $100 million tokenized fund SAFO has been launched across Ethereum and Stellar, marking a significant move into blockchain finance. The fund is structured as a tokenized overnight swap fund that combines traditional financial engineering with blockchain rails, allowing for stable yields above risk-free benchmarks while maintaining overnight liquidity.

The launch of SAFO comes with the support of 100 million dollars in committed AUM, indicating institutional confidence in tokenized finance within regulated European frameworks. Chainlink plays a crucial role in ensuring data integrity by bringing NAV data on-chain, bridging off-chain financial data with blockchain execution.

SAFO provides professional investors with fast and transparent access to cash management solutions, as revealed by Jean-Jacques Barbéris, who stated that this initiative is part of Amundi's ambition to contribute to the rise of tokenized solutions. The fund offers near-instant settlement, real-time visibility into shareholder registers, flexible custody structures, and continuous global transferability.
