UBS Launches Ethereum-Based Money Market Fund

Highlights:

  • The UBS fund uses Ethereum to offer safe, digital cash management for investors.
  • UBS earned a $1.43B profit in Q3, beating forecasts and showing strong financial growth.
  • UBS leads in blockchain by expanding digital services using public and private networks.

UBS Asset Management has introduced its first tokenized fund on the Ethereum blockchain, known as the UBS USD Money Market Investment Fund Token (uMINT). This fund is intended to provide investors with secure and efficient cash management options. The fund is designed specifically for clients based in Singapore. It is available only through authorized distribution partners.

Thomas Kaegi, Co-Head of UBS Asset Management Asia-Pacific, highlighted the growing demand for tokenized investments. Kaegi said that interest in tokenized financial assets is rising across multiple asset classes. The fund’s launch is part of UBS’s effort to meet that demand.

Focus on Digital Finance Expansion in Asia

UBS is focusing on digital finance markets in Asia through uMINT. The strategic direction of the company is in line with the growing use of technology in the region. UBS seeks to provide investors with high-quality money market products utilizing blockchain for transparency and efficiency. 

Kaegi stated that UBS’s skills and collaborations contribute to providing safe, tokenized investment options. The new fund offers professional-level cash management using top-notch money market instruments. UBS is working to integrate conventional financial methods with modern technologies through its blockchain projects.

Strong Financial Gains in Q3 Report

UBS recently announced impressive financial performance for the third quarter. The bank exceeded analyst predictions by reporting a net profit of $1.43 billion. The outcome exceeded the predicted $667.5 million by a significant margin.  Group revenue was reported at $12.33 billion, exceeding expectations of $11.78 billion.

Operating profit before taxes increased to $1.93 billion, bouncing back from a $184 million loss in the prior year. Return on tangible equity rose to 7.3% from 5.9% in the previous quarter. 

CEO Sergio Ermotti noted that the bank benefited from its diverse business model and global reach. He mentioned that market challenges also provided opportunities for investors. The Investment Banking sector of UBS saw strong performance, experiencing a 36% increase in net income compared to the previous year. 

The increase in income was due to significant profits from equity derivatives, forex, and interest rates. Nevertheless, the Global Wealth Management sector experienced a 6% decrease compared to the previous year.

Leader in Tokenized Finance

UBS has been at the forefront of blockchain finance. UBS successfully finalized a cross-border repurchase deal last year using a digitally issued native bond on a public blockchain. This was the first of its kind and demonstrated the firm’s capabilities in blockchain adoption. In addition, UBS follows BlackRock and Franklin Templeton, which have started tokenized funds backed by US Treasuries.

UBS was also involved in Project Guardian in Singapore. The Monetary Authority of Singapore spearheaded a regulatory sandbox that featured a trial for a tokenized Variable Capital Company (VCC) fund. UBS has expanded its work in blockchain by issuing digital structured notes worth RMB 200 million ($37.16 million). These notes were issued on the Ethereum blockchain to a third party.

The bank’s dual approach to blockchain enhances its tokenization services. This strategy supports fund issuance, distribution, and real-time settlements. UBS’s investment in blockchain positions it as a pioneer in digital finance.
