Amundi, a subsidiary of the Crédit Agricole group and the leading asset manager in Europe, announced the launch of a class of tokenized shares of its Amundi Core STOXX Europe 600 fund. These tokenized versions of shares were issued on the public Ethereum blockchain, in collaboration with CACEIS, the financial services subsidiary of Crédit Agricole.
The fund, which weighs around 21.3 billion euros, replicates the STOXX Europe 600 index, which brings together 600 large, mid and small capitalization European companies. It is a product widely used as a building block in the construction of institutional portfolios.
With this launch, the French manager extends its RWA (real world assets) tokenization strategy beyond cash management solutions, and therefore now opens it up to index investing. Amundi managed nearly 2,600 billion euros in assets as of September 30, 2026, which gives particular resonance to its choice. The tokenized portion remains fully integrated into the fund's existing operating model, which remains accessible through traditional channels.

This tokenization is not Amundi's first foray into the decentralized Ethereum network. In November 2025, the manager had already launched, again with CACEIS, a first class of tokenized shares for its monetary fund Amundi Funds Cash EUR, with 5.6 billion euros in assets. The manager then opened subscription to this fund via stablecoins, then multiplied partnerships to test concrete applications of distributed ledger technology (DLT).
By once again choosing Ethereum for an equity-based product, Amundi strengthens the positioning of this network as a reference infrastructure for institutional tokenized finance.
The blockchain founded by Vitalik Buterin hosts the majority of RWA tokenization issued by major financial institutions, from BlackRock's US Treasuries to European money market funds. With approximately $15.3 billion in assets tokenized on Ethereum for a total of over $39.7 billion in assets across the various blockchains, the ETH network alone holds approximately 38.5% of their value, according to RWA.xyz.
