Chainlink tokenization reached a new institutional milestone on April 9, 2026. A tokenized mutual fund launched three weeks ago by Amundi and Spiko reached $400 million in AUM, according to Spiko data. This puts the new tokenized fund in the top spot among all Chainlink tokenized funds in terms of growth rate.
A Record Broken
The Spiko Amundi overnight swap fund (SAFO) exceeded BlackRock’s BUIDL fund’s initial growth point. Zach Rynes (@Chainlinkgod), a Chainlink community liaison, attributed the growth to Chainlink tokenization infrastructure.
The Chainlink tokenized fund operates directly on both Ethereum and Stellar blockchains, allowing for rapid cross-chain distribution and the ability to provide real-time asset clarity. As well, Chainlink allows for automatic net asset value (NAV) reporting for each transaction made into or out of the fund. It also allows for secure interoperability between multiple blockchain platforms.

LINK Price Response
The LINK price rose 1.28% following the milestone announcement, which brought the price to $8.971. This represented an intraday high of $9.023 prior to pulling back slightly.
The most significant movement in the LINK price occurred after 15:00 UTC within the milestone news cycle. This may indicate that increased institutional focus was a contributing factor to the rise in the price of link tokens.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator showed a reading of 0.045 on its signal line, which is an indication of possible upward pressure in the near term.
Mixed Derivatives Sentiment
CoinGlass derivative data show mixed sentiment regarding future direction. Total futures trading volume declined to $425 million (dropping by 38.32% compared to 24 hours earlier).
Open interest fell to $371.66 million (decreasing by 4.06% during the last day). Even so, LINK is currently being traded higher than the $8.90 support area, suggesting that traders are taking a conservative approach to speculative trades.
The Impact of the Chainlink Tokenization
The success of this Chainlink tokenized fund represents an important structural shift within traditional financial markets. The adoption of Chainlink tokenization technology is developing quickly as more institutions begin to explore ways to use it for real-world asset-based infrastructure projects.
Tokenization can accelerate the settlement process while providing greater transparency throughout financial systems. In addition, through the use of blockchain technology, it will be easier for more people globally to access tokenized investment products.
This success serves as further proof that there is a growing demand for innovative tokenized financial solutions.
Why This Matters
The Chainlink tokenization platform is developing into one of the primary infrastructural layers for institutions to distribute funds on-chain.
