ARK Investment Management has filed an exemption request with the U.S. SEC to issue a tokenized share class for its ARK Venture Fund. According to ChainCatcher, the SEC published notice of the filing on August 24 and set September 18 as the deadline for hearing requests. The fund is a continuously offered closed-end interval fund and had total assets of $562 million as of January 31. The application proposes two classes: an exchange-listed class and a tokenized class recorded on distributed ledger technology, with ownership transferable peer-to-peer between registered alternative trading systems or whitelisted wallets. The tokenized shares would be issued at net asset value, without sales charges, and distributed by registered broker-dealers or the fund’s transfer agent. ARK is seeking relief under Sections 6(c), 18, and 17(d) of the Investment Company Act, as well as Rules 23c-3 and 17d-1, with Dechert serving as legal counsel. The filing does not name a tokenization service provider or blockchain. It lists fee categories for a tokenization agent and fund transfer agent, while BNY Mellon currently serves as the fund’s transfer agent, administrator, and custodian. ARK Venture Fund also holds equity in Securitize and a $10 million convertible note. SEC rules for the industry-anticipated tokenization "innovation exemption" framework are still being developed.

According to Sina Finance, the main stories included U.S. military strikes near Iran's Kharg Island and the port city of Jask, oil prices rising, the U.S. Treasury preparing to expand bond buybacks, SoftBank planning to meet investors in New York, Apple CEO John Ternus set to unveil a foldable iPhone on Wednesday, and a renewed failure in the UK air traffic control system.

According to Sina Finance, Wall Street interest-rate strategists expect the U.S. Treasury to raise the size of its long-dated bond buybacks to as much as $10 billion per operation after announcing in August that it planned to at least double the program. According to Sina Finance, SoftBank Group will meet investors in New York next week to gauge interest in a potential dollar junk-bond sale. The company is continuing to borrow heavily to finance its large bets on artificial intelligence, and Chief Financial Officer Yoshimitsu Goto and other executives are scheduled to meet investors at Citigroup offices from September 14 to 17. According to Sina Finance, Apple will hold its annual iPhone product event on Wednesday, where CEO John Ternus will make his first appearance as chief executive after replacing Tim Cook on September 1. Market expectations are that Apple will unveil its first foldable iPhone, along with updates to the iPhone 18 Pro lineup and Apple Watch products.

It also said Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned tanker crews near Kuwait and Bahrain to abandon ship because they would be targets. Chris Larkin of Morgan Stanley's E*Trade said investors may find it difficult to shift attention away from inflation as geopolitical tensions push oil prices higher. The article added that Friday's U.S. CPI data could be a key factor in deciding whether the Federal Reserve raises rates this month, while swaps market pricing showed nearly a 60% chance of a rate hike next week. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index rose for a fourth day. Intel jumped more than 9% after DigiTimes reported that the company may raise CPU prices, while Qualcomm gained more than 3% after winning an Amazon AI chip order and saying it will provide custom chips.
