Institutional-Grade Investment Opportunity Brings Stability, Transparency, and Liquidity to $11 Trillion Market US Virgin Islands – Asset Token Ventures (ATV) has launched MBSToken™, a groundbreaking blockchain-based solution designed to modernize the $11 trillion mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market. The initiative aims to bring liquidity, transparency, and efficiency to an asset class that has traditionally been accessible only to major financial institutions. With MBSToken™, institutional accredited investors and qualified purchasers can gain onchain exposure to high-quality MBS assets while benefiting from enhanced accessibility and efficiency. At the core of this initiative are two parallel funds: MBSToken ITM, tailored for non-U.S. investors, and MBSToken IITM, designed for U.S. investors. By leveraging blockchain technology, ATV seeks to democratize access to fixed-income markets, providing a new pathway for institutional-grade investors to participate in mortgage-backed securities with seamless digital integration. Bringing Innovation to Fixed-Income Markets The mortgage-backed securities market, while essential to the global financial system, has long been constrained by complexity, limited access, and liquidity challenges. ATV's MBSToken™ addresses these inefficiencies by tokenizing MBS assets, allowing investors to gain exposure through blockchain-based instruments that offer real-time transparency and enhanced liquidity. “The fixed-income market, particularly MBS, is ripe for innovation,” said David Robnett, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV. “We are bringing institutional-grade MBS investments onchain, unlocking liquidity, improving transparency, and offering investors a seamless way to gain exposure to one of the most important financial markets.” MBSToken™ provides investors with several key advantages. The token is collateralized by pools of mortgage-backed securities, many of which are guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored entities such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and Ginnie Mae. Investors benefit from institutional-grade security, as holdings are structured into bankruptcy-remote, stand-alone funds, ensuring an added layer of protection. Additionally, MBSToken™ offers a unique tax efficiency advantage. ATV, based in the U.S. Virgin Islands, qualifies for a 90% income tax exemption, allowing investors to achieve higher overall yields while potentially deferring taxable appreciation until the token is redeemed. This tax structure enhances MBSToken’s appeal for investors seeking optimized returns within a compliant framework. Blockchain technology further enhances MBSToken’s value proposition. Transactions are recorded on an immutable ledger, providing real-time insight into asset performance and portfolio composition. This level of transparency and security marks a significant evolution in how fixed-income investments are managed and traded. Institutional Adoption and Market Impact The launch of MBSToken™ underscores the growing institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). As financial markets increasingly embrace digital transformation, family offices, sovereign wealth funds, and institutional investors are seeking secure, yield-generating assets that align with blockchain’s efficiencies. “Fixed-income markets are undergoing a digital transformation,” commented John Matheson, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV. “By leveraging blockchain technology, we are making MBS investments more accessible, more efficient, and ultimately more valuable for global investors.” With 24/7 access and liquidity, MBSToken™ allows institutional investors worldwide to participate in the U.S. mortgage-backed securities market without the traditional constraints of legacy systems. Investors interested in participating can submit their applications and complete KYC/AML verification at atvfund.io. The Future of Tokenization in Fixed-Income Markets The $11 trillion U.S. mortgage-backed securities market is a cornerstone of global finance, yet its historical complexity and inaccessibility have limited broader investor participation. MBSToken™ represents a pivotal shift toward digitizing fixed-income investments, providing a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain technology. As major financial institutions continue to explore tokenization as a means to unlock liquidity, reduce costs, and improve efficiency, ATV’s approach positions MBSToken™ as a leading innovation in blockchain-powered fixed-income investing. By offering a compliant, transparent, and institutionally secure investment vehicle, MBSToken™ sets a new standard for how mortgage-backed securities can be accessed and traded. “Tokenization will redefine how capital is deployed in traditional markets,” said Paul Talbert, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV. “MBSToken™ is the first step toward a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem, one that integrates the best of institutional finance with blockchain’s transformative potential.” About Asset Token Ventures (ATV) Asset Token Ventures (ATV) is at the forefront of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, pioneering secure, transparent, and institutionally-backed investment opportunities.
