Avalanche&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.avax.network/blog/parafi-tokenizes-fund-on-securitize-platform-with-avalanche">announces</a> ParaFi Capital, a leading digital asset manager backed by notable investors such as Henry Kravis of KKR &amp; Co., tokenizing a portion of its $1.2 billion portfolio on the Avalanche blockchain.&nbsp;
ParaFi Capital will tokenize a minority portion of its latest venture capital fund, which closed in May. The tokenized Limited Partner (LP) interest will be available on the Securitize platform and will operate on the Avalanche blockchain.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
By tokenizing a portion of its fund, ParaFi aims to broaden investor access beyond its traditional institutional base that included endowments, foundations, family offices, and other investors.
<blockquote>
 "ParaFi and Securitize continue to innovate within the ecosystem, and I'm thrilled to see the Avalanche platform support ParaFi’s first steps into tokenizing fund interests,” said John Wu, President of Ava Labs.
</blockquote>
The tokenized fund will be traded on Securitize Markets, allowing investors to leverage Securitize Credit’s borrowing and lending capabilities. This expanded access is expected to improve liquidity and provide new opportunities for both ParaFi and its investors.

Securitize is a leading firm in the tokenization of real-world assets and has established a track record with high-profile partners like BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, and Tradeweb Markets.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The platform manages over $950 million in investments and provides infrastructure for transitioning traditional assets onto modern blockchain rails.
&nbsp;
On the contrary, Avalanche has emerged as one of the leading blockchain platforms due to its fast transaction finality, low fees, and EVM compatibility, according to the Avalanche team.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
The network’s architecture reportedly supports a diverse range of tokenized assets and provides an ecosystem for financial operations.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
ParaFi's use of Avalanche aligns with the network's expansion into tokenized asset management. At the time of writing, Avalanche has&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://defillama.com/chain/Avalanche">1.553 billion</a> in total value locked (TVL).&nbsp;

The tokenization of assets is gaining momentum in the financial sector.&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.ournetwork.xyz/p/on-260-real-world-assets">Recent data</a> from OurNetwork shows that the market for tokenized real-world assets has surpassed $10.9 billion.
&nbsp;
The market continues to expand, with significant investments from firms like BlackRock, which launched its BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) on the Ethereum blockchain in 2023.
&nbsp;
The tokenization trend is expected to continue its upward trajectory. According to global bank&nbsp;<a style="text-decoration:none" href="https://ir.citi.com/gps/MG9DEWhoYvQJVWLM9Kr3%2BZmqjoztKJcyNHr83F9Wug2pzAGHPQKfp23RAMrkNts%2FJitXoTNqufOvegUjjXh0IA%3D%3D">Citi</a>, the market for tokenized assets could reach $5 trillion by 2030.&nbsp;
