Marketnode to list BNY Investments funds on Stellar network

Marketnode, the Singapore-headquartered digital capital markets infrastructure firm, has announced plans to make BNY Investments funds available through the Stellar network. The arrangement would extend access to those funds via a public blockchain infrastructure, though no launch timeline, fund names, or structural details are disclosed in the announcement.

The pairing of Marketnode’s tokenisation infrastructure with BNY Investments’ fund range signals continued institutional appetite for distributing conventional asset-management products through on-chain rails, a pattern that has gathered pace across Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. Whether this involves tokenised fund units, on-chain subscription mechanics, or a wrapper structure remains unclear from the available disclosure, and those distinctions matter operationally for any prospective distributor or allocator seeking to engage.

Steller’s role as the chosen network is the other detail worth tracking: it places this initiative within a growing set of institutional-grade deployments on that ledger, alongside existing stablecoin and cross-border payment use cases. How Marketnode intends to handle custody, transfer restrictions, and investor eligibility gating on a permissioned or semi-permissioned basis on Stellar will define whether the arrangement is replicable at scale.
