Wormhole, the leading interoperability platform connecting traditional finance and the internet economy, was selected as the official interoperability partner for the newly launched VanEck® Treasury Fund, Ltd. (“VBILL”), via its exclusive partnership with Securitize. As the interoperability provider, Wormhole will power VBILL’s multichain accessibility across the Avalanche, BNB Chain, Ethereum, and Solana blockchains, as well as any additional chains added in the future.
Built on Securitize’s end-to-end tokenization infrastructure, VBILL brings a fully collateralized, blockchain-based alternative to money market funds directly to qualified investors. Wormhole will enable secure, near-instant transfers of VBILL tokens between supported chains, ensuring maximum asset mobility, improved liquidity, and efficient access to blockchain-based capital markets.
“VanEck’s entry into tokenized U.S. Treasuries marks another inflection point for institutional adoption of on-chain finance,” commented Dan Reecer, Co-Founder of the Wormhole Foundation. “With the global tokenization market increasing every day and expected to reach $2 trillion by 2030, Wormhole is set to be the foundational infrastructure on which the internet of value is built, where real world assets, crypto-native assets, capital markets, and government systems interoperate freely and securely.”
VBILL is engineered to serve a broad range of emerging use cases, such as atomic liquidity via Agora’s AUSD. With on-chain issuance via USDC and multichain access enabled by Wormhole, VBILL positions itself as a critical tool for digital asset treasuries, market makers, and institutions seeking exposure to U.S. Treasury-backed yield with real-time programmability.
As the official interoperability partner for Securitize, Wormhole brings multichain capabilities to a growing suite of tokenized products. With over $3B in multichain tokenized assets under management (MTAUM), Wormhole is the most adopted interoperability platform for institutional tokenized assets.

About VanEck
VanEck has a history of looking beyond the financial markets to identify trends that are likely to create impactful investment opportunities. We were one of the first U.S. asset managers to offer investors access to international markets. This set the tone for the firm’s drive to identify asset classes and trends – including gold investing in 1968, emerging markets in 1993, and exchange traded funds in 2006 – that subsequently shaped the investment management industry.
Today, VanEck offers active and passive strategies with compelling exposures supported by well-designed investment processes. As of March 31, 2025, VanEck managed approximately $116.3 billion in assets, including mutual funds, ETFs and institutional accounts. The firm’s capabilities range from core investment opportunities to more specialized exposures to enhance portfolio diversification. Our actively managed strategies are fueled by in-depth, bottom-up research and security selection from portfolio managers with direct experience in the sectors and regions in which they invest. Investability, liquidity, diversity, and transparency are key to the experienced decision-making around market and index selection underlying VanEck’s passive strategies.
Since our founding in 1955, putting our clients’ interests first, in all market environments, has been at the heart of the firm’s mission.
