Quick take:
- The token becomes the first public on-chain offering for accredited investors of Apollo.
- The tokenised fund will also be available on Ethereum, Aptos, Avalanche and Polygon from the first day of launch.
- Securitize is leveraging its partnership with Warmhole to deploy Apollo’s tokenised fund across multiple blockchains.
The U.S. Asset management firm Apollo has launched its first on-chain tokenised fund in partnership with Securitize. The Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund (ACRED) marks the first integration for Securitize with the Solana blockchain and Kraken’s layer-2 network, Ink.
The tokenised fund will also be available on Ethereum, Aptos, Avalanche and Polygon from the first day of launch.
Apollo, which has more than $700 million in assets under management is making its first foray into real-world asset tokenisation, following in the footsteps of the likes of BlackRock, a major investor in Securitize, and Franklin Templeton, among others.

Explaining the reasons for choosing the Apollo Diversified Credit Fund for the firm’s first tokenised fund, Christine Moy, a partner leading digital assets, data and AI strategy at Apollo told CoinDesk the fund’s daily subscription and daily net asset value (NAV) structure is well suited for blockchain-based markets.
“For those that are trying to build a diversified portfolio on-chain, it serves as a higher yielding complement to stablecoins, tokenized treasuries and money market funds,” Moy said, adding: “But it’s also a diversifier to the more volatile crypto native yield products that are out there. So it can help complete the picture of the different assets you would need in an on-chain diversified portfolio.”
