Aberdeen takes private markets on-chain, partnering with Finloop to tokenise private-market investments for Hong Kong wealth investors.
Aberdeen appears to be showing its token appreciation, appointing Finloop Finance to distribute tokenised interests in its global private markets strategy to investors in Hong Kong. The partnership brings private-market exposure onto blockchain rails, offering a potentially more efficient route for wealth investors to access the asset class. It also reflects Aberdeen’s broader push to expand private markets distribution through digital infrastructure and reach a wider pool of investors. John McCareins, Chief Client Officer, Aberdeen Investments said: “We believe tokenisation of private market solutions, such as this opportunity with Finloop, has strong potential to support our goal of enabling our clients to become better investors, by enhancing transferability, transparency and operational efficiency.” For Finloop, the deal adds a major asset manager to its tokenisation platform as the financial industry continues to experiment with putting traditional investments on-chain. Consider it Aberdeen’s latest token of affection.
