Archax Unleashes Onchain Portfolio Revolution with Hedera’s Game-Changing Pool Token Launch

Archax just dropped a nuclear warhead on traditional portfolio management—launching Pool Token on Hedera to drag institutional investing kicking and screaming into the onchain future.

No more paper trails, no more settlement delays. Just pure, unadulterated blockchain efficiency slicing through legacy finance's red tape like a hot knife through butter.

Hedera's hashgraph architecture isn't playing nice with old-school systems—it's outright replacing them. Instant settlements, transparent holdings, and compliance baked into the protocol itself.

While traditional finance still struggles with T+2 settlements and manual reconciliations, Archax's move makes Wall Street look like it's still using abacuses. Because let's be honest—most portfolio managers still think 'onchain' is something you do with a boat.

What is a pool token?

A “pool token” is a new transferable token that represents a basket of tokenized assets onchain. In the context of Archax and Hedera’s integration, this is a token that will allow an issuer to create a multi-asset portfolio that can include a range of assets such as equity, debt, funds and cryptocurrencies. 

According to Archax, pool tokens allow investors to diversify their investment strategies, with the flexibility of creation adding to the overall benefits of an onchain product.

Graham Rodford, the co-founder and chief executive officer of Archax, noted:

“By enabling the creation of Pool Tokens, an issuer could come to us to create a natively on-chain portfolio, basket, index or fund. Tokenised portfolios can be assembled, transferred, and managed with speed and flexibility, so we’re eliminating the operational inefficiencies that have long plagued traditional investment structures – all while maintaining regulatory compliance and institutional-grade security.”

BlackRock funds in first basket

The rollout has the first Pool Token lined up for a mix of some of the top money market funds in the world, with the basket covering asset managers like Aberdeen, BlackRock, and State Street.

As well as instant fund creation, pool tokens offer the benefit of transferability and composability. In this case, users can migrate an entire portfolio across chains without the burden of complex paperwork or the friction of dealing with transfer agents.

Pool tokens can also be utilized as collateral on Archax’s Nest network.
