Amundi, one of Europe’s largest asset managers, announced on 5 November 2026 the launch of a tokenised share class of its Amundi Core STOXX Europe 600 index fund, allowing investors to access the fund through blockchain technology.
The new offering is built on the public Ethereum blockchain and marks Amundi’s expansion into tokenised equity investments, following its earlier work with digital money market funds.
The Amundi Core STOXX Europe 600 fund provides exposure to 600 major European companies and is widely used by investors seeking broad access to European stock markets.
With the new tokenised share class, Amundi aims to make traditional investment products more accessible through digital platforms while improving the speed and efficiency of transactions.
The launch was developed in partnership with CACEIS, which provides the technology and infrastructure needed to issue and manage the fund’s tokenised shares.
Amundi said the fund will continue operating under its existing investment and regulatory framework, with investors still able to access it through traditional channels.
The launch follows several digital asset initiatives by Amundi, including its first tokenised money market fund, the introduction of stablecoin-based subscriptions and partnerships with financial institutions and technology companies to explore blockchain applications.
According to the company, blockchain technology could help reduce administrative processes, speed up settlement times and improve transparency in fund transactions.
Amundi also plans to expand its range of tokenised investment funds to meet growing demand from institutional investors and digital investment platforms.
The company said the move is part of its wider strategy to connect traditional financial markets with blockchain-based systems as digital asset technology and regulations continue to develop.
