Theo Allocates $20M to Fidelity International’s FILQ Fund

Theo, an onchain capital markets platform, has invested $20 million in Fidelity International’s USD Digital Liquidity Fund (FILQ). Theo said the investment makes it the first crypto-native platform to allocate capital to the asset manager’s tokenized fund.

Executed through Sygnum, a Swiss digital asset bank that provides regulated banking, custody and tokenization services for institutional clients, the allocation adds FILQ to Theo’s institutional tokenized Treasury product, thBILL.

FILQ is a Moody’s Aaa-mf-rated tokenized US dollar liquidity fund built on Sygnum’s Desygnate platform that invests in diversified short-term money market instruments designed to preserve capital and liquidity. Chainlink provides onchain net asset value and distribution data for the fund through its Runtime Environment, while JPMorgan receives and approves the daily NAV data, according to the release.

Fidelity International managed $1.06 trillion in total assets as of March 31, according to the company, while Theo said its products have processed more than $1 billion in cumulative trading volume across more than 80,000 users in over 60 countries.

RWA.xyz data shows FILQ currently manages about $55.1 million in onchain assets, suggesting Theo’s $20 million allocation represents a significant share of the fund.

The market’s growth has been accompanied by new fund launches and distribution partnerships from traditional financial firms. In May, JPMorgan launched JLTXX, a tokenized government money market fund on Ethereum (ETH) that invests in US Treasury bills and overnight repurchase agreements.

The following month, Franklin Templeton partnered with MoonPay to expand institutional access to its BENJI tokenized money market fund, allowing eligible institutions to move between supported stablecoins and tokenized fund exposure through an onchain trading workflow.
