Fidelity Treasury Exposure Goes Onchain Through Singapore-Licensed DigiFT

Fidelity-managed Treasury exposure is moving deeper into tokenized markets through Singapore-regulated infrastructure.

DigiFT, a digital asset exchange licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, has launched tokenized access to interests in a U.S. Treasury money market fund managed by Fidelity Investments.

The product is available to institutional and accredited investors who meet DigiFT’s eligibility requirements.

Tokenized Treasury funds are becoming onchain collateral

The underlying strategy holds cash and short-duration U.S. government securities — assets commonly used in money market funds.

What changes is the wrapper. Instead of accessing the exposure only through traditional fund infrastructure, eligible investors receive a tokenized representation that can operate inside digital-asset markets.

DigiFT is positioning the product as collateral that fits the asset-quality standards created by the U.S. GENIUS Act for payment stablecoin reserves.

That matters because tokenized Treasury products are increasingly used for more than passive yield. They can function as collateral on trading venues, settlement assets and a yield-bearing alternative to idle stablecoin balances.

The broader tokenized Treasury market is now roughly $14.8 billion, according to the announcement’s market estimate, with products from BlackRock, Circle, Ondo and other issuers competing for institutional capital.

Fidelity already has its own onchain roadmap

This is not Fidelity’s first move toward blockchain-based fund infrastructure.

Fidelity previously filed to add an “OnChain” share class to its Fidelity Treasury Digital Fund, with ownership records mirrored on Ethereum.

DigiFT’s new listing extends that theme through an external regulated digital-asset venue.

The announcement does not identify the exact Fidelity fund underlying the product or the blockchain on which the tokenized interests are issued. Those details will matter for investors assessing settlement mechanics, smart-contract risk and secondary-market liquidity.

Still, the direction is clear. Tokenized money market funds are becoming one of the most credible bridges between traditional asset management and public blockchain infrastructure.

The reason is practical: the underlying assets are liquid, familiar to institutions and already widely used as collateral. Tokenization adds programmability and potentially faster settlement without requiring investors to take direct exposure to volatile crypto assets.
