Securitize and Neuberger Berman have launched the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC), an actively managed fixed-income product available across the Sui, Avalanche, Ethereum, and Solana blockchains. Unlike early tokenized funds focused primarily on U.S. Treasuries or money market instruments, HINC invests in high-yield bonds, collateralized loan obligations, and leveraged loans. This launch marks a significant expansion in the complexity of tokenized real-world assets, moving toward sophisticated credit strategies that require robust compliance and investor controls. Securitize, which manages approximately $5 billion in tokenized assets, aims to increase the accessibility of these products by distributing them across multiple blockchain ecosystems. The integration with Sui is particularly notable, as the network's object-centric architecture is designed to support the programmable ownership and automated compliance necessary for regulated financial products. Neuberger Berman, an investment manager overseeing over $230 billion in assets, serves as the subadvisor for this fund, marking its entry into the tokenized fund space. This development signals a broader institutional shift toward utilizing blockchain infrastructure for more diverse and higher-yielding investment vehicles.

Oracle provider RedStone has announced the integration of daily net asset value (NAV) feeds for the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund (HINC) across Ethereum, Avalanche, Solana, and Sui. Unlike previous tokenized funds focused on stable Treasury instruments, HINC is an actively managed fund investing in high-yield corporate bonds, CLO debt tranches, and bank loans. Because these underlying assets experience frequent price fluctuations, providing accurate, tamper-resistant onchain pricing is essential for potential use as collateral in DeFi lending protocols. The integration utilizes the Trusted Single Source Oracle (TSSO) standard, co-developed by RedStone and the tokenization platform Securitize. Each data point is cryptographically signed and timestamped to ensure a verifiable link to the fund administrator. This development marks a significant shift in the RWA market, moving beyond simple stable-value assets toward complex, actively managed credit strategies. By enabling real-time NAV updates for volatile assets, this infrastructure allows traditional asset managers like Neuberger Berman to operate more natively within decentralized finance ecosystems.
