Edge Capital Announces Completion of Fund Tokenization

Edge Capital | July 15, 2026

Edge Capital is pleased to announce the successful tokenization of an Edge Capital fund, one of the first regulated Cayman Islands investment fund vehicles to be brought on-chain.

The transaction reflects a meaningful step forward for institutional digital asset structuring, combining a compliant fund framework with the operational benefits of tokenized ownership: faster settlement, transparent ownership records, and a foundation for the next generation of capital markets infrastructure. Bringing it across the finish line required close, multi-jurisdictional collaboration between the fund, its Cayman Islands counsel, and its U.S. counsel.

The team

• Edge Capital, represented by Andrey Semenov, General Counsel, who led structuring and execution on the fund side.
• Maples Group, with Gwyneth Rees (Partner, Funds & Investment Management) and Patrick Head (Partner, Regulatory & Financial Services) advising on fund formation, regulatory compliance and structuring tailored for a tokenized vehicle.
• Akin, with Jan-Paul Bruynes (Partner) and Gabriel Weiner (Counsel) leading the drafting of the fund documents, including the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM), and advising on U.S. regulatory and securities matters.

Statements from the team

"Tokenization of a regulated fund is a multi-jurisdictional puzzle. It only works when every piece fits, and that's exactly what this team delivered."

— Andrey Semenov, General Counsel, Edge Capital

"Tokenising a regulated fund isn't about replacing the existing architecture — it's about enhancing it. The goal here was ensuring that the on-chain layer integrated seamlessly with the fund's constitutional documents, subscription mechanics, and governance framework, so that tokenised and non-tokenised investors in the same fund hold identical economic rights under a single, coherent structure. Getting that right is what turns a proof of concept into a credible institutional product."

— Gwyneth Rees, Partner, Maples Group

"Tokenization can be implemented within existing securities laws without compromising institutional standards. The end result is a structure that is both operationally innovative and legally robust."

— Jan-Paul Bruynes, Partner, Akin

This milestone reflects the growing institutional appetite for tokenized investment products and demonstrates how traditional fund structures can evolve in line with emerging digital asset frameworks.
