According to Fortune, Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund, Mubadala Capital, has announced a partnership with Coinbase and infrastructure provider KAIO to tokenize its perpetual private markets fund, issuing compliant on-chain tokens to qualified investors. Coinbase will utilize its Base blockchain as one of the underlying networks and will personally purchase the tokens, incorporating the Mubadala fund onto its balance sheet. This marks the first time a major U.S. publicly traded company has conducted native on-chain financial management using compliant tokenized assets. The offering has already attracted approximately $750 million in commitments from both traditional institutional investors and crypto-native allocators. With assets under management nearing $400 billion, Mubadala aims to lower the high barriers of entry in traditional private equity and expand its potential investor base through this tokenization initiative.
