ARK partners with Securitize to put a venture fund on Ethereum, but leaves exit doors locked
- ARK Invest tokenized ARKVX on Ethereum via Securitize, proving that blockchain doesn’t magically cure illiquidity. You can now hold a digital receipt for venture capital exposure, provided you’re okay with a quarterly 5% repurchase cap and absolutely zero secondary market. It’s the crypto equivalent of locking your funds in a vault where the key is lost, but at least the vault has an IP address. No trading venue? No problem. Just wait for a buyer who might show up one day, or beg ARK to buy back a sliver of your stack. This isn’t DeFi freedom; it’s traditional finance wearing a hash manifest as a disguise. If you thought tokenization meant instant exit liquidity, check your stack-eye. You’ve just upgraded from a locked box to a slightly more expensive locked box. Professional solidarity: don’t touch the robot while you panic-sell to no one.
