Sygnum Powers Fidelity International’s First Tokenized Product Launch With Moody’s AAA-mf Assessment Freitag, 15. Mai 2026 - 07:17

Zurich, Switzerland, 15 May 2026 — Sygnum, a global digital asset banking group, is proud to announce that its tokenization platform, Desygnate, is powering the launch of Fidelity International's first tokenized product, offering institutional and professional investors 24/7 regulated, yield-bearing U.S. dollar liquidity and collateral-ready mechanics.

The launch arrives as treasury-focused tokenized money market funds near US$15 billion assets under management, attracting participation from the world's largest asset managers, digital asset exchanges, stablecoin issuers, and DeFi protocols.

"There is no tokenized finance without tokenized liquidity. Once markets settle in real time, cash must settle in real time too. This is Fidelity International's answer to that imperative — combining over 30 years of fixed income expertise with blockchain infrastructure built for the digital asset economy," said Emma Pecenicic, Head of Digital Assets Distribution at Fidelity International. "With this product, we are bringing together liquidity with digital-native infrastructure, working with partners such as Sygnum to deliver institutional-grade, yield-bearing U.S. dollar liquidity designed for markets that operate around the clock."

This product is powered by Sygnum's Desygnate platform, the institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure purpose-built to bring regulated financial products on-chain. Desygnate underpins the product's digitally native architecture — enabling the on-chain fund registry, smart-contract-enabled settlement, and stablecoin subscription. It offers 24/7 subscriptions and redemptions across global time zones through a waterfall liquidity structure, reflecting the always-on nature of tokenized capital markets, while stablecoin transaction enables streamlined frictionless on-chain workflows for crypto-native treasuries, DeFi protocols, and digital asset exchanges, serving as a genuine cash leg in tokenized capital markets.

"This marks an important milestone in the evolution of capital markets, demonstrating how tokenised liquidity products can bring high-quality, yield-bearing liquidity on-chain in a regulated and scalable way," says Fatmire Bekiri, Head of Tokenization at Sygnum. "At Sygnum, we see tokenized liquidity as foundational infrastructure for the next generation of financial markets - enabling real-time, 24/7 access to cash management solutions that move seamlessly across traditional and digital ecosystems. Together with Fidelity International, we are setting a new benchmark for how regulated investment solutions can operate in an always-on, tokenized economy through advanced on-chain capabilities."

This liquidity product is managed by Fidelity International, leveraging the firm's long-established experience in managing liquidity and short-duration strategies. It has been given an AAA-mf assessment by Moody's. In its report, Moody's noted that the product "will have a very strong ability to meet its objectives of capital preservation and high liquidity".The product is supported by a network of established infrastructure partners, including J.P. Morgan, which provides fund administration and custody services within an integrated framework that brings together custody, liquidity and related services;

Apex Group, which acts as transfer agent, supporting digital onboarding, wallet whitelisting and real-time processing; and Chainlink, which publishes the product's daily NAV data and key distribution metrics on-chain.

The tokenized liquidity product is intended for professional and institutional investors through Sygnum and may be made available, subject to applicable regulatory requirements, in selected jurisdictions.
