Hamilton Lane, one of the world’s largest alternative asset management firms with over $900 billion in assets under management, has made a significant move into the <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/blockchain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blockchain</a> space. The firm announced on Tuesday the launch of a tokenized private credit fund on the Solana blockchain, marking a notable step in bridging traditional finance with decentralized technology. 
The company is tokenizing its Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE) on the blockchain, allowing investors to access the fund via the blockchain network. To facilitate this, Hamilton Lane has partnered with Libre, a <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/web-3-0/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Web3</a> protocol developed as a joint venture between Brevan Howard’s WebN Group and Nomura’s crypto firm Laser Digital. This initiative aims to reach “mass affluent, crypto native” traders, potentially broadening Hamilton Lane’s investor base and distribution channels. 
SCOPE, which was launched in 2022, has approximately $556 million in assets under management and offers an annualized yield of 10% for USD investors. This move represents Hamilton Lane’s first venture on this blockchain its first attempt to tokenize collateralized lending. The firm had previously tokenized funds on other platforms, but this marks its debut on Solana’s high-speed network. 
The tokenization of <a href="https://coingape.com/rwa-tokens/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">real-world assets</a> (RWAs) is seen as a way to increase liquidity, transparency, and accessibility in traditional financial markets. Benefits include immediate ownership transfer and the ability to trade tokenized assets for other cryptocurrencies on secondary markets. This development aligns with a growing trend in the financial industry, as major players like BlackRock have also shown interest in tokenizing traditional assets.
