Hamco launches on-chain Pan-Asia Private Equity Fund with Chainlink
manilatimes.net reports that Hamco, in collaboration with Synthesys and Chainlink, has announced the Hamco Tokenized Pan-Asia Private Equity Fund. Established in the Cayman Islands, this semi-liquid, evergreen fund targets hard-to-reach private and pre-IPO opportunities across Asia. The structure utilizes Mint to combine Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol, Digital Transfer Agent standard, and NAVLink into a single framework.
Distribution begins immediately through Synthesys Network’s regulated channels for eligible non-US professional investors. The fund aims to solve private equity’s traditional illiquidity by using tokenized money markets, stablecoins, and credit options as a liquidity engine. Eddy Chow, Hamco’s CEO, stated that the evergreen structure aligns with the long-term horizon required by private equity while enhancing accessibility.
Darien Poh, CEO of Synthesys, noted that the fund enables on-chain management in near real time without relying on reconciliation lags. Niki Ariyasinghe of Chainlink Labs emphasized that tokenization matters when it changes what a fund can do, not just how ownership is recorded. The fund offers fractionalized shares to lower entry barriers and provides transparent, verifiable on-chain NAVs. It will be available across select blockchains subject to applicable eligibility criteria and investment documentation.
