Amundi, one of Europe’s largest asset managers with over $2 trillion in assets, is exploring the tokenization of money market funds in Italy. Gabriele Tavazzani, CEO of Amundi Italy, envisions creating the first tokenized fund under Italian law, which would be open, digitally native, and fungible. This move aligns with Italy’s growing interest in tokenization, with other firms like Azimut and MedioBanca also venturing into this space. Source

JP Morgan’s Tokenized Collateral Network (TCN) – “BlackRock, Barclays join JP Morgan’s Tokenized Collateral Network”


JP Morgan’s Onyx division has launched its TCN, with BlackRock and Barclays initiating transactions on the platform.
