Bitfinex Securities has launched tokenized offerings for the Crest Fund and the Liberty Bitcoin Accumulation Fund (LBAF), allowing investors to gain exposure through blockchain-based tokens. Subscriptions for these offerings remain open until October 29, 2026.
Why it matters
These funds utilize quantitative market-neutral strategies such as funding-rate arbitrage and market making to seek returns regardless of directional market performance. This structure provides a distinct alternative to traditional holdings for investors seeking diversified crypto-asset exposure.
Bitfinex Securities held more than $500 million in listed assets as of September 2026, while the new offerings allow entry with a minimum of one token. Crest Fund tokens are priced at $10 each, and LBAF tokens are priced at 0.0001 BTC.

Money Landscape
This launch reflects the broader industry trend of financial institutions migrating managed investment vehicles to blockchain infrastructure. It signals a shift toward tokenized, accessible fund structures that depart from traditional paper-based fund subscriptions.

As these funds involve complex strategies like market making and arbitrage, consult a qualified financial professional to determine if these assets align with your risk profile.
The takeaway
These tokenized funds illustrate the growing utility of blockchain for standardizing and lowering entry barriers for managed investment strategies. Investors should review the specific fund prospectus and consult with a professional regarding the tax and regulatory implications of holding tokenized securities.
