Fund tokenization

Libeara agrees to buy Zodia Markets Jersey to add regulated intraday dealing capability for tokenized funds

What happened

  • Specific facts/numbers: The deal is pending regulatory approval; Libeara said ChinaAMC tokenized fund classes account for more than $700 million of the $810 million on its platform, and other named funds include the $103 million Bosera Liquidity Income Fund.
  • Institutions involved: Libeara, Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures, Zodia Markets (Jersey), the Jersey Financial Services Commission, ChinaAMC and Bosera are the key institutions named in the report.
  • Regulatory/technical context: The acquired Jersey entity comes with an investment dealing license and VASP supervision, which Libeara says would help eligible investors trade between fund dealing windows and could support stablecoin on- and off-ramps for subscriptions, redemptions and trading where fund terms allow.
  • What to watch next: Regulatory approval is the main next milestone; beyond that, no specific launch date for intraday tokenized fund dealing or direct stablecoin ramping under Libeara’s own Jersey setup was identified.

Why it matters

The acquisition would give Libeara a regulated dealing and digital-asset access point that could make tokenized funds more liquid and operationally flexible for eligible investors.

HKMA Relevance

Indirect: The move adds to regional tokenized-fund market infrastructure that Hong Kong banks and asset managers may compete with or emulate, but no HKMA action is involved in this story.
