F/m Investments Applies to SEC for Approval to Tokenize Its $6 Billion Treasury ETF
According to Cointelegraph, F/m Investments has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) seeking permission to record ownership of its flagship product, the F/m US Treasury 3 Month Bill ETF (TBIL), on a permissioned blockchain. This marks the first time an ETF issuer has sought special exemptive relief from U.S. regulators for tokenizing shares of a registered investment company. The firm emphasized that tokenized shares will maintain the same rights, fees, voting rights, and economic terms as existing TBIL shares, with only the method of ownership recording being changed. If approved, TBIL would be able to operate simultaneously through traditional brokerage channels and digitally native platforms.
