Following the transition, anticipated in the second quarter of 2026, the fund will be named the Invesco Short Duration US Government Securities Fund while preserving its ticker and token structure.
This action signifies Invesco’s official entry into the rapidly evolving $12 billion tokenized U.S. Treasuries market, aligning with competing global asset managers such as BlackRock (BLK), Franklin Templeton, and Fidelity Investments.
In contrast to conventional financial frameworks, blockchain-based tokens provide near-instant settlement, transparent reserves, and continuous access. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has mentioned in his annual letter that tokenization could enhance the speed, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility of investments by documenting ownership on digital ledgers.
"Invesco has been strategically developing the capabilities necessary to support institutional-grade digital asset products," stated Kathleen Wrynn, Invesco’s global head of digital assets. "Superstate’s on-chain infrastructure complements Invesco’s ambitions to expand tokenized offerings over time."
The USTB tokenized fund will retain its structure and strategy under Invesco’s management, while Superstate will continue overseeing the fund’s technological framework. This includes issuing fund shares as tokens, processing transactions on-chain, and managing a digital transfer agent system.
Invesco will manage daily investment decisions through its global liquidity team, which oversees over $200 billion in short-term assets.
