ATV’s MBSToken Unlocks Mortgage-Backed Securities

The newly launched MBSToken^TM seeks to bring stability, transparency, and liquidity to a $11 trillion mortgage-backed securities market.

Asset Token Ventures recently launched MBSToken^TM, a real-world asset (RWA) token that provides access to the mortgage-backed securities (MBS) market.

At the core of this initiative are two parallel funds: MBSToken I^TM for non-US investor, and MBSToken II^TM for US investors. By leveraging blockchain technology, ATV aims to democratise access to institutional-grade MBS-backed assets and modernise the fixed-income investment landscape.

Key advantages of the MBSToken^TM include:

• High-Quality Backing: MBSToken^TM is collateralised by pools of mortgage-backed securities
• Tax Efficiency: ATV’s USVI-based funds qualify for a 90% income tax exemption that allow investors to defer taxable appreciation
• Blockchain Transparency: Transactions are recorded on an immutable ledger, providing real-time insight into asset performance
• Enhanced Security: MBS holdings are structured into bankruptcy remote, stand-alone funds, providing an added layer of investor protection
• Global Access and Liquidity: MBSToken^TM allows institutional accredited investors and qualified purchasers worldwide to participate in the US mortgage-backed securities market 24/7

The $11 trillion US mortgage-backed securities market has historically been complex and inaccessible. The team hopes that MBSToken^TM democratises the market and bridge traditional financial structures and blockchain technology.

The launch of the RWA asset also aligns with a broader industry trend as major financial institutions increasingly explore tokenisation as a means to unlock liquidity, reduce costs, and improve market efficiency.

Paul Talbert, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV, said, “We believe tokenisation will redefine how capital is deployed in traditional markets. MBSToken^TM is the first step toward a more inclusive and efficient financial ecosystem, one that integrates the best of institutional finance with blockchain’s transformative potential.”

“The fixed-income market, particularly MBS, is ripe for innovation,” said David Robnett, Co-Founder and Managing Director of ATV. “We are bringing institutional-grade MBS investments onchain, unlocking liquidity, improving transparency, and offering investors a seamless way to gain exposure to one of the most important financial markets.”
