The fund is now live across four major blockchains: Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, and—for the first time—BNB Chain. It uses Wormhole to enable seamless cross-chain access.
This marks a new chapter in digital finance. It gives qualified investors the ability to tap into U.S. Treasury yields without leaving the blockchain ecosystem. Let’s discover more about VBILL.
Tokenized Treasuries: A New Asset Class Goes Digital
$VBILL is more than a blockchain experiment—it’s a real-world investment product with real-world value. The fund is backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries and carries a low 0.20% management fee. It allows token holders to gain exposure to one of the most stable government-backed securities.
For years, U.S. Treasuries have been a go-to option for investors seeking low-risk returns. Now, with $VBILL, they’re accessible through a digital wrapper, offering improved liquidity, faster settlement, and broader reach.
Investment minimums start at $100,000 on Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Solana, and $1 million on Ethereum, aimed at qualified purchasers. This shift caters to high-net-worth and institutional crypto investors who want on-chain exposure to TradFi (traditional finance) products.
Today, we’re proud to announce the launch of $VBILL, @vaneck_us’ first tokenized fund, issued via Securitize and backed by short-term U.S. Treasuries.

A growing number of investors are exploring tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), a market that could reach $10 trillion by 2030, according to Boston Consulting Group. Treasury-backed tokens like $VBILL reflect this accelerating trend.
Cross-Chain Flexibility, Institutional Appeal
One of the fund’s standout features is its cross-chain accessibility, enabled by Wormhole’s interoperability protocol. This lets users interact with $VBILL across different blockchain networks without sacrificing security or functionality.
For instance, a family office managing digital assets on Solana can now allocate part of its portfolio to U.S. Treasuries without transferring funds to a centralized brokerage. That’s not only efficient—it’s revolutionary.
