VanEck launches US Treasury funds on BNB, Avalanche, Ethereum and Solana VanEck has launched VBILL, a tokenized U.S. Treasury fund built in partnership with Securitize, marking a bold institutional move into the $3.5 billion crypto tokenization sector. The announcement comes amid rising institutional interest in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, despite the sector dipping 0.4% to a $3.5B market cap on Wednesday. With the launch of VBILL, VanEck aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and digital assets, especially as stablecoin reserve regulations may push crypto-native institutions to hold critical reserve assets in US Treasuries. “Tokenized funds like VBILL enhance market liquidity and efficiency,” said Kyle DaCruz, Director of Digital Assets Product at VanEck. VanEck’s VBILL token is hosted on Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and BNB Chain, all of which recorded price gains over the last 24 hours. This move positions the fund as a liquidity and security gateway for institutional crypto firms. How VanEck is Targeting Crypto Whale Investors VanEck targets high-net-worth crypto holders and institutional investors with VBILL. The fund’s minimum investment requirements are set at $100,000 on Solana, Avalanche, and BNB Chain, and $1 million on Ethereum. Other key registration requirements are also in place to restrict accessibility only to accredited entities and large fund managers. VanEck’s multichain deployment of VBILL ensures whales across different ecosystems, enlisting Wormhole for cross-chain interoperability and frictionless movement of VBILL tokens across Avalanche, BNB, Ethereum, and Solana chains. “With VBILL, our combined efforts demonstrate tokenization’s ability to create new market opportunities with the speed, transparency, and programmability of blockchain technology.” — Carlos Domingo, CEO and Co-founder of Securitize According to the statement, a prominent tokenization platform, Securitize will oversee VBILL’s logistics, fund administration, and broker-dealer compliance.
