What to know:

• Invesco, a $2.2 trillion asset manager, is entering the fast-growing tokenized fund market, taking over management of Superstate’s $900 million tokenized U.S. Treasury fund USTB.
• The fund will be renamed the Invesco Short Duration US Government Securities Fund in the second quarter of 2026, while its token structure and Superstate's plumbing.
• The $12 billion tokenized U.S. Treasury market is gaining traction for offering near-instant settlements and around-the-clock trading, attracting global asset managers such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton.

Invesco, a U.S.-based asset manager overseeing $2.2 trillion in assets, will take over management of Superstate’s tokenized U.S. Treasury fund in a move that brings a large traditional asset manager deeper into blockchain-based finance.

The USTB fund holds short-term U.S. government securities and represents more than $900 million in assets. It ranks among the largest tokenized Treasury funds, a fast-growing corner of the market bringing money market funds onto blockchain rails.

After the transition, expected in the second quarter of 2026, the fund will be renamed to Invesco Short Duration US Government Securities Fund while keeping its ticker and token setup.

The move marks Invesco's formal entrance in the fast-growing, $12 billion tokenized U.S. Treasuries market, joining rival global asset managers such as BlackRock (BLK), Franklin Templeton and Fidelity Investments.

Unlike traditional financial infrastructure, blockchain-based tokens allow near-instant settlement, transparent reserves and round-the-clock access. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has said in its annual letter that tokenization could make investing faster, cheaper and more accessible by recording ownership on digital ledgers.

"Invesco has been strategically building the capabilities required to support institutional-grade digital asset products," said Kathleen Wrynn, Invesco's global head of digital Assets. "Superstate’s onchain infrastructure pairs naturally to support Invesco’s ambitions to scale tokenized offerings over time."

The USTB tokenized fund will keep its structure and strategy under Invesco's banner, while Superstate will continue to run the fund’s technology layer. That includes issuing fund shares as tokens, settling transactions onchain and maintaining a digital transfer agent system.

Invesco will handle day-to-day investment decisions through its global liquidity team, which manages over $200 billion in short-term assets.
