ARK Introduces Tokenized Venture Fund on Ethereum with $500 Minimum

ARK Investment Management has unveiled a new tokenized venture fund built on the Ethereum blockchain. The fund is open to U.S. retail investors who can subscribe via the Securitize platform, with a minimum investment of $500.

Subscription Process

Investors in the United States can access the fund through Securitize, a compliance‑focused token issuance service. The low entry threshold is intended to broaden participation in venture‑stage investments.

Buyback Structure

ARK has specified that fund buybacks will be conducted only through quarterly repurchase offers. No other secondary market mechanisms are currently planned for liquidity.

Underlying Technology

The fund’s tokens are minted on Ethereum, leveraging the network’s smart‑contract capabilities to manage ownership and distribution.
