Invesco Ltd. (IVZ) announced that its private‑capital arm, Invesco Private Capital, Inc., participated in Superstate’s Series B equity funding round, providing capital to the fintech firm that is modernizing public capital markets through tokenization technology. The investment amount was not disclosed in the announcement.
The partnership also confirms that Invesco Advisers, Inc. will become the investment manager of Superstate’s flagship tokenized fund, the Superstate Short Duration US Government Securities Fund (USTB), in the second quarter of 2026. USTB is a tokenized fund focused on short‑term U.S. Treasury bonds and had an AUM of approximately $967 million as of March 2026. By taking this role, Invesco becomes the first asset manager to use Superstate’s on‑chain infrastructure for a UST‑backed fund, positioning the firm to offer tokenized products to its institutional and retail clients.
The move expands Invesco’s digital‑assets platform and gives the company direct experience managing a tokenized Treasury product, a key step in its broader strategy to grow its crypto‑capital‑markets ecosystem. Management said the partnership "expands Invesco's ability to scale its digital assets strategy and advances our tokenized product offerings," adding that thoughtful collaborations will support responsible innovation and help meet client needs.
Superstate CEO Robert Leshner noted that the collaboration "marks the first time an independent asset manager has leveraged Superstate's tokenization infrastructure. This is the blueprint for how funds and ETFs will come onchain — and we couldn't ask for a better partner to lead the way." Invesco’s Global Head of Digital Assets, Kathleen Wrynn, added that the partnership "reflects that long‑term commitment" and that USTB demonstrates how tokenization can enhance access and efficiency for short‑duration government exposure.
The partnership is expected to enhance Invesco’s product pipeline, broaden distribution channels, and generate new fee revenue from tokenized securities management, reinforcing the firm’s position as a pioneer in tokenized asset management.
