JQQQ has launched as the first blockchain-native fund providing exposure to the Nasdaq-100 Index through an issuer-sponsored investment strategy. The fund is designed for issuance and operation on public blockchain infrastructure, combining institutional investment standards with new distribution channels and onchain composability, while offering competitive fees.
The fund is powered by end-to-end infrastructure for onchain funds. Seeking to replicate the Nasdaq-100 Index, it marks an important evolution in tokenization: rather than merely mirroring existing securities on blockchain networks, investment products are being built natively onchain. This approach preserves established investment management standards while unlocking novel capabilities, including programmable portfolios, integration with digital financial applications, and the ability to utilize fund shares as collateral across onchain markets.
As one of the world’s top five providers of tokenized funds, the onchain platform now includes over 1,000,000,000 dollars in institutional strategies across U.S. Treasuries, structured credit, and public equities, expanding to encompass one of the most recognized equity benchmarks globally.
As investors explore new ways to access markets through digital infrastructure, demand continues to grow for exposure to established and transparent benchmarks. The Nasdaq-100 Index has long served as the foundation for a wide range of investment products, supporting the continuous evolution of index-based investing as it expands across an ever-widening array of investment structures.
Native onchain issuance transforms what an investment fund can become. Beyond providing digital access to an established investment strategy, an onchain fund can interface directly with new distribution channels and financial applications, unlocking the potential for programmable vaults, onchain portfolios, collateralization, lending, and structured products.
Tokenization becomes vastly more powerful when the assets investors want to hold can also serve as the building blocks of an onchain financial system, bringing the Nasdaq-100 Index to the onchain ecosystem as a licensed, issuer-sponsored institutional investment product.
The fund is launching exclusively on the Stellar network, where real-world assets surpassed 4,000,000,000 dollars in 2026. The network has cultivated an increasingly diverse institutional asset marketplace spanning tokenized U.S. Treasuries, sovereign debt, money market funds, credit, and other financial instruments.
Bringing the Nasdaq-100 to the blockchain demonstrates how far tokenization has evolved—from cash-equivalent assets to the benchmarks that define global equity markets. The underlying infrastructure was purpose-built for regulated finance, setting the stage for additional products of this type.
