$1.1 trillion asset manager Schroders launches tokenized bond fund on Solana

Schroders, the $1.1 trillion asset manager, has launched a tokenized bond fund on the Solana blockchain, marking one of the largest traditional finance firms to embrace on-chain fixed income. The fund issues tokenized representations of bond holdings on Solana, giving investors blockchain-based access to a traditional asset class. The move signals growing convergence between mainstream asset management and public blockchain infrastructure, following similar tokenization efforts by firms such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. It matters because tokenized bonds could expand liquidity and broaden investor access to fixed income, while validating Solana as institutional-grade infrastructure. Watch for the fund's initial assets under management, uptake among institutional allocators, and whether other large managers follow with Solana-based offerings.
