State Street Investment Management and Galaxy Asset Management are preparing to debut a new tokenized liquidity vehicle, the State Street Galaxy Onchain Liquidity Sweep Fund (SWEEP), with an expected launch in early 2026.
The fund represents one of the clearest attempts yet to bridge traditional finance with on-chain liquidity infrastructure, placing a major Wall Street institution directly onto a public blockchain.
A Tokenized Liquidity Fund Built for Institutions
The SWEEP fund is designed exclusively for qualified institutional buyers and aims to offer continuous, 24/7 liquidity management through tokenized fund shares. At launch, the fund will operate on the Solana blockchain, chosen for its speed, low fees, and maturing institutional tooling. Plans are already in place to expand availability to Stellar and Ethereum after the initial rollout.
Subscriptions and redemptions will settle using PYUSD, PayPal’s regulated U.S. dollar stablecoin, enabling near-instant movement of capital without relying on banking hours. State Street Bank and Trust Company, an affiliate of State Street Investment Management, will act as custodian for the fund’s treasury assets, preserving traditional oversight within a blockchain-native framework.
Seed Capital and Institutional Backing
The initiative is receiving early support from tokenization leader Ondo Finance, which has committed roughly $200 million in seed capital. The backing signals strong confidence in the viability of on-chain liquidity markets and highlights growing institutional demand for tokenized cash and cash-equivalent instruments.
Partner Momentum Strengthens the Launch
Shares of State Street (STT) and Galaxy Digital (GLXY) have both posted positive performance over the past year, reflecting investor interest in their ongoing digital-asset strategies. The SWEEP fund builds on the firms’ existing collaboration, which previously produced three digital-asset ETFs launched in September 2024.
A Milestone for Institutional Tokenization
By positioning the SWEEP fund on a major public blockchain and pairing it with a regulated stablecoin like PYUSD, State Street and Galaxy are pushing institutional finance toward a model where liquidity is not bound by market hours or legacy infrastructure.
The initiative underscores how tokenization is evolving from pilot programs into fully integrated investment products, bringing traditional treasury management into the on-chain world with the scale, compliance, and operational rigor institutions expect.
