The service, available during Asian market hours seven days a week to eligible institutional investors, enables accredited institutions to trade tokenized units of funds including Invesco’s US Senior Loan Strategy (iSNR), UBS’s USD Money Market Investment Fund (uMINT), and Wellington’s Ultra Short Treasury On-Chain Fund (ULTRA), per a press release shared with CoinDesk.
GSR will provide systematic bid-ask pricing, while DigiFT’s platform facilitates settlement under Singapore and Hong Kong regulatory oversight.
By introducing live secondary pricing, the partnership is designed to address transactions based on delayed net asset values, a long-standing issue in RWA markets.
“Our price discovery capabilities and systematic infrastructure support a healthy secondary market to help this asset class mature,” said GSR’s Head of Systematic OTC Business, Aravind Srinivasan.
Real-time price discovery, the firms said, could allow wallets to process redemptions more efficiently, enable decentralized finance protocols to integrate RWAs, and help investors adjust positions based on current market conditions.
Trades will settle directly on-chain, with GSR filling orders placed through DigiFT’s OTC channel and transferring tokens and stablecoins via smart contracts, the document adds. The companies stated they plan to expand liquidity to additional RWA tokens over time.

Weekend Sell-Off Hits EdgeX’s Nasdaq-Linked Perp as $13M in Longs Liquidated

What to know:
- A newly created wallet executed a short worth roughly $10 million on EdgeX’s Nasdaq 100–linked perpetual, triggering a rapid 3.5% price drop and a liquidation cascade across long positions.
