Europe’s largest asset manager has launched a euro money market fund with a bit more than €5 billion in assets under management.
The fund now exists in a hybrid format: investors can buy it through usual bank and fund platforms or access a representation of the same exposure directly on a public blockchain. By choosing Ethereum as the settlement rail, Amundi taps into the most widely used smart contract network for institutional tokenization experiments today, from bond issues to fund shares.
Why Tokenization Matters for TradFi
Tokenization means turning claims on real world assets like funds, bonds or cash into digital tokens that can move and settle on a blockchain. This can reduce back office friction, cut intermediaries, and in the long run enable near instant settlement and more flexible distribution.
Today the on chain money market fund segment is still very small under ten billion dollars in value. Largely led by BlackRock , Franklin Templeton and French startup Spiko Finance. Yet global money market funds represent more than seven trillion dollar. So, even a small shift on chain could unlock large volumes over time.

A simple real world example is an institutional treasury desk that wants daily liquidity on spare cash. Instead of wiring money during banking hours to subscribe to a traditional fund, it could move tokenized euros or stablecoins 24/7 into a tokenized money market fund and redeem just as flexibly. Early data already shows strong traction in this niche.
