Securitize launches Neuberger Berman fixed-income fund on four blockchains

Wall Street powerhouse Neuberger Berman is moving a slice of its $230 billion fixed-income platform into the digital realm. The firm partnered with Securitize to launch HINC, a tokenized fund designed to give investors onchain access to private credit and high-grade debt. It's a massive bet on infrastructure that doesn't play favorites. Instead of sticking to one ecosystem, the fund will live across Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui. This multi-chain approach aims to capture liquidity wherever it sits, rather than forcing capital into a single silo. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo is betting that institutional demand for yield will bridge the gap between legacy finance and decentralized networks. By using public ledgers for a fund of this scale, the partnership bypasses traditional settlement delays that usually plague private markets. The big question now is whether DeFi native liquidity will actually bite at these institutional yields or stick to riskier, native protocols.
