Northern Trust Asset Management has entered the digital assets market by launching a tokenized share class of its NIF Treasury Instruments Portfolio. This structure maintains a digital mirror of share ownership using distributed ledger technology, while the underlying portfolio continues to invest in short-term US Treasury bills. Shares will initially be offered through BNY’s LiquidityDirect platform and Goldman Sachs’s Digital Asset Platform. How Does Northern Trust’s Tokenized Fund Work? The fund does not use blockchain technology or invest in crypto assets; authorized intermediaries will hold blockchain-based mirrors of on-chain ownership records.
