ARK Investment Management has submitted a waiver application to the U.S. SEC, seeking to issue tokenized share classes for its venture capital fund, ARK Venture Fund. The SEC issued a related notice on August 24 and set September 18 as the deadline for hearing requests. The fund is a continuously offered closed-end interval fund, with total assets of $562 million as of January 31.The application proposes to establish two categories: the exchange category will be listed on national securities exchanges, while the tokenized category will record ownership through distributed ledger technology, allowing for peer-to-peer transfers between registered alternative trading systems or whitelisted wallets. Tokenized shares will be issued at net asset value, exempt from sales fees, distributed by registered brokers or fund transfer agents, and will bear the costs of trading fees and other expenses. ARK seeks relief under Sections 6(c), 18, and 17(d) of the Investment Company Act and Rules 23c-3 and 17d-1, with Dechert serving as legal counsel.The application does not specify a tokenization service provider or blockchain, only listing the categories of "tokenization agent" and "fund transfer agent" fees. Currently, BNY Mellon serves as the fund transfer agent, manager, and custodian. The ARK Venture Fund holds equity in Securitize and $10 million in convertible notes; Securitize is the transfer agent for the BlackRock BUIDL Fund. The SEC has not yet formally approved the industry's anticipated tokenization "innovation waiver" framework, and relevant rules are still being advanced.

According to PRNewswire, Tom Lee, Chairman of the Bitcoin treasury company Bitmine, stated that during historical cryptocurrency bull market cycles, the ETH/BTC ratio typically rises as Ethereum's usage increases compared to Bitcoin, such as during the NFT boom of 2020-2021 and the stablecoins of 2025, both of which have been significant catalysts for the growth of Ethereum applications. In the next cycle, Wall Street's tokenization of assets and deployment on the blockchain, along with the use of Agentic AI on the blockchain, may further drive the ETH/BTC ratio higher.Since the third quarter of 2026, ETH has been the best-performing macro asset, outperforming the S&P 500 index by 5430 basis points as of last Friday; the three best-performing asset classes since June 30 have been ETH, BTC, and SOL, with cryptocurrency assets showing significant outperformance compared to other macro assets so far in the third quarter, which is expected to further attract institutions to increase their allocation to cryptocurrency assets.Tom Lee added that as we enter the last few months of 2026, the crypto market faces several positive catalysts, including the anticipated vote on the CLARITY Act in mid-September, South Korean investors re-entering the crypto market and shifting from AI stocks to cryptocurrencies, and what he believes will be a bottoming out of the "four-year cycle" in the coming weeks. These factors may pave the way for a large influx of institutional funds in the last few months of 2026.
