Ethereum Hosts Fidelity’s $200M Tokenized Treasury Fund, Challenging BlackRock’s Lead

Published by

Fidelity Asset Management has introduced a blockchain version of its treasury money market fund directly on the Ethereum Network. The new product, Fidelity Digital Interest Token (FDIT), holds over $200 million in assets. This is a major step taken by Fidelity into real-world asset tokenization with blockchain technology.

Fidelity Introduces FDIT on Ethereum

The product, FDIT, represents one share of Fidelity Treasury Fund (FYOXX), offering tokenized access to US treasuries. This structure allows blockchain native holders to gain direct exposure to U.S. Treasury securities. 

The fund began operations in August with a portfolio consisting only of U.S. treasuries and cash. Fidelity charges a 0.20% annual management fee, with the  Bank of New York Mellon serving as the fund’s custodian. The bank also ensures established financial oversight and security. 

The firm has not publicly announced the launch of FDIT, but the records confirm that the fund has already reached over $200 million in assets. Current records also show that the fund has just two holders, one with roughly $1 million in tokens and another managing the balance.

FDIT’s Access and Efficiency

Fidelity’s entry could boost the pace of tokenized fund adoption across institutional investors. It could also broaden market participation if its blockchain rails gain trust. Since FDIT works like an ERC20 token on Ethereum, it lets institutions own, transfer, and settle shares digitally, with 24/7 availability. 

It allows investors to move tokens to peer-to-peer (P2P) and make instant redemptions to stablecoins. It can also interact with DeFi applications when useful. 

Additionally, the fund itself invests in OUSG, which holds short-term US treasuries and money market assets. This setup allows FDIT to give investors Treasury-like returns while benefiting from speed and transparency on Ethereum. 

Market Competition: BlackRock Dominates

Over the past year, global asset managers have been experimenting with blockchain rails to make markets more efficient, fast, and feasible. This drew attention from Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and BlackRock. 

Right now,  BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) remains the largest tokenized treasury product with a value of over $2 billion. Watching this institutional adoption closely, analysts at McKinsey have estimated that tokenized securities could reach a market value of $2 trillion by 2030, as reported by CoinCentral.
