F/m Investments has made history on Wall Street by formally requesting permission from the SEC to begin the tokenization of F/m Investments’ ETF shares. According to the official statement, the $18 billion issuer seeks to record ownership of its U.S. Treasury 3 Month Bill ETF (TBIL) on a permissioned blockchain ledger. CEO Alexander Morris emphasized that this evolution of traditional financial instruments is inevitable, aiming for the firm to be the first to operate under the umbrella of the Investment Company Act of 1940.
This move is a bet on the convergence between traditional finance and digital technology, guaranteeing voting rights and fees identical to conventional shares. Unlike stablecoins, this approach offers board oversight, third-party custody, and daily transparency, aligning with the vision of leaders like BlackRock’s Larry Fink regarding the potential of on-chain ledgers.
The next step is to await the regulatory response from the SEC, which will define the framework for other issuers to follow this trend—one that experts like Nate Geraci consider “the first of many.” Investors should monitor the progress of the platform the NYSE is developing for trading tokenized shares, as its approval would consolidate the necessary infrastructure for a hybrid stock market. The definitive integration of Real World Assets (RWA) into the blockchain now hinges on this historic decision.
