Amundi Launches First Tokenised Money Market Fund Share Class on Ethereum

Amundi has launched its first tokenised fund, creating an on-chain share class of its euro money market fund “Amundi Funds Cash Eur” on the public Ethereum blockchain in partnership with CACEIS.

The new product is a tokenised share class of an existing Luxembourg-domiciled fund. The first transaction in this class was recorded on 4 November 2025, Amundi’s first live use of blockchain for fund units.

As stated, tokenised shares are recorded on Ethereum, while CACEIS provides the DLT infrastructure, investor wallets and a digital platform for subscriptions and redemptions. The fund now runs in a hybrid setup: investors can either use traditional channels (transfer agents and registries) or access the tokenised share class on-chain.

First Tokenised Money Market on Ethereum Goes Live

Tokenisation is one of the most popular technological trends both in traditional finance and crypto due to the amount of benefits it provides in multiple sectors, including real estate, commodities, financial services, art, and more.

Standard Chartered even sees tokenisation as a US$2 trillion (AU$3.10 trillion) market by 2028, about a 5,600% increase.

Amundi describes tokenisation as a long-term structural shift and plans to expand it to other funds. Jean-Jacques Barbéris, Head of Institutional and Corporate Division and ESG at Amundi, said:

The tokenization of assets is a transformation set to accelerate in the coming years around the world. This first initiative on a money market fund demonstrates our expertise and the robustness of our methodology in covering concrete use cases.

Economically, the tokenised and traditional units track the same portfolio. The underlying fund invests in high-quality, short-term euro-denominated instruments such as money-market securities and overnight repos with European sovereigns, targeting liquidity and capital preservation in euros. 

Amundi and CACEIS say the on-chain model could allow faster or near-instant order execution, 24/7 access for subscriptions and redemptions, and easier integration with new distribution channels and more digital-native investors.
