Today we introduce $BAGEY: the Baillie Gifford Enhanced Yield Fund. An actively managed bond fund, issued natively onchain, with the blockchain as the legal source of truth. Most tokenised funds are wrappers: a tokenised claim on a fund whose structure and ownership record live offchain. $BAGEY is different. No wrapper. The token is your holding in the fund, with ownership recorded onchain, and subscribe and redeem in stablecoins. All of it within a UK-regulated fund structure. That is what native means. $BAGEY, own it, natively.

BAGEY is fast becoming the example. Today, the Government's report to the Chancellor on tokenised markets is out, with a strong shift to action. For me, the question now is how fast the UK can scale it, with up to £33bn a year on the table by 2035, according to the report. That's the race. We, at @BaillieGifford, are glad to be in it. More to come from us; follow at @BGDA_UK for the latest. (theglobalcity.uk/PositiveWebsit…)

Ethereum Institutional@ethereuminsti·
Recently, @BGDA_UK, one of the UK's largest asset managers, launched the Baillie Gifford Enhanced Yield Fund ($BAGEY) on @ethereum. As a UK-regulated, natively tokenised fund, the blockchain serves as its legal register of record, setting a structural precedent for public blockchain settlement in the UK. The onchain structure removes offchain transfer agents and manual database reconciliation. → This is not a wrapper over a traditional fund; native onchain issuance means the token is the fund interest itself, with direct ownership of the underlying short-duration government and corporate bonds recorded on Ethereum. → Operating directly on a public L1 removes the intermediary layers characteristic of traditional wrapper structures → Ethereum’s public base layer provides transparency, auditability, and reduced transaction costs for regulated financial instruments Financial institutions like Baillie Gifford building on the Ethereum network as foundational infrastructure demonstrates regulatory acceptance of public mainnet settlement, countering the misunderstanding that institutions require private chains. Our team members are proud to have supported Baillie Gifford’s builders throughout the process - huge congratulations on the launch to all of the teams involved!

The @TheFCA's Chief Executive, this week: "On Monday, we approved Baillie Gifford, alongside BNY Mellon, to launch the UK's first natively tokenised authorised fund. The entire transaction journey, end-to-end, on chain." The regulator gets it. It’s coming home. Full speech: fca.org.uk/news/speeches/…

“What ETFs did to mutual funds…tokenisation will do to the whole investment industry.” Our Head of Digital Assets, @TFGolden, on why $BAGEY is a real tokenised fund: fully native, no SPV, the token is the fund and the fund is the token. Books and records onchain, with the blockchain as the legal source of truth. Why now, and why native. ↓

We built our tokenisation around one rule: if you tokenise an asset, it has to be the same, but better. Most tokenised structures don't clear that bar. The token is a digital stand-in for something recorded offchain, so all the old complexity stays put. @TFGolden, our Head of Digital Assets, on what it means to do it properly: the asset is the token, with ownership recorded natively onchain. Own it, natively ↓
