UBS Completes First Tokenized Fund Transaction Using Chainlink’s DTA Technical Standard

UBS Singapore, a regional division of the international Swiss bank UBS Group, has completed the tokenization of its investment fund workflow using Chainlink’s digital transfer agent (DTA) technical standard. This means that the UBS’s Money Market Investment Fund Token (uMINT), a money market investment developed on the Ethereum blockchain, is now live and can execute transactions on-chain.

What This Partnership Means

UBS launched the Singapore-based tokenized investment fund on the Ethereum blockchain last year November 1^st, 2024. The tokenized money market fund provides premier money market products, enabling investors to access yield-bearing collateral, with the ability to withdraw cash instantly. By capitalizing on Chainlink’s DTA infrastructure, UBS’s tokenized fund products are now priced with the best world-class, reliable data inputs sourced across all blockchains operating on-chain.

Chainlink’s DTA technology solution ensures resilient market data on UBS’ tokenized money market fund and offers diverse price feeds for various financial products on the investment vehicle. These Chainlink data feeds log all the fund’s financial and institutional action events like rewards, providing thorough assessments directly on-chain.

The successful integration means that Chainlink’s DTA infrastructure now automates everything from fund issuance, cash withdrawal, to data synchronization across all off-chain/on-chain systems using smart contracts, providing higher transparency and efficiency.

DigiFT, which functions as the on-chain fund distributor, leverages Chainlink’s DTA standard to process customer signups (registrations) and withdrawal requests.

Banks: Advancing RWA Tokenization

The partnership between Chainlink and UBS highlights banks’ continued adoption of RWA tokenization to link traditional investment systems with blockchain, spearheading the development of cutting-edge financial products like tokenized equities, real estate, and many more. This integration improves market liquidity, decreases transaction costs, and widens access to asset classes traditionally reserved for institutional investors and High-net-worth (HNW) individuals.

Last week, on October 29, 2025, Japan’s major securities firms and trust banks, led by SBI Holdings, announced plans to launch 24/7 tokenized stock trading, a move that is set to allow Japanese institutional and retail investors to trade tokenized versions of publicly traded stocks 24/7 with a little as 1 Japanese Yen (JPY).

Three months ago, on July 23, Bank of Goldman Sachs and New York Mellon launched Money Market Funds (MMFs) on blockchain to improve the usability and transferability of existing MMF shares. Such developments set the foundation for a more inclusive, effective financial system, cementing blockchain’s role as a game-changer in international finance.
