ARK Investment Management seeks SEC approval for tokenized fund shares

tokenized share class distributed ledger technology ARK Venture Fund SEC application asset tokenization

ARK Investment Management LLC has filed an application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to introduce a tokenized share class for its ARK Venture Fund. The proposed class would utilize distributed ledger technology to track ownership, allowing for trading on SEC-registered alternative trading systems and peer-to-peer transfers between approved wallets that meet KYC and AML requirements.

An SEC notice published in late August 2026 indicates that the process is currently in a notice and hearing period rather than a final approval stage. The Commission has set a deadline of September 18, 2026, for any requests for a hearing. An order granting the requested relief will be issued only if no hearing is ordered by the Commission.
