Federated Hermes Enters Tokenized Money Market Fund Alliance in APAC
FHI sits 33% above its 52-week low of $46.66.
Summary
Federated Hermes announced a strategic alliance with Singapore-based Conduit Digital Holdings to launch a tokenized money market fund in Asia Pacific. The Conduit-managed fund will invest in the Federated Hermes Short-Term U.S. Prime Fund, with tokenized shares offered to institutional and wholesale investors in the region. This marks Federated Hermes' first digital assets initiative in APAC, building on prior tokenization efforts with Archax and a GENIUS Act-aligned fund. The move leverages Federated Hermes' $676.9 billion money market AUM and expands its regional footprint following recent Hong Kong expansion plans. The alliance could enhance distribution and attract tokenization-focused clients, though financial terms were not disclosed.
