Wormhole Facilitates Multichain Access for Hamilton Lane's SCOPE Fund with Securitize

Wormhole Enhances Multichain Access for SCOPE Fund

Wormhole, a prominent platform for interoperability connecting traditional finance with the digital economy, has been designated as the official partner for multichain access to the SCOPE Fund, a tokenized feeder fund from Hamilton Lane. This exciting development allows institutional investors greater liquidity and flexibility when accessing the Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE). Emerging through a collaboration with Securitize, a leader in tokenizing real-world assets, this integration signifies a monumental step in the democratization of private credit investment.

The SCOPE Fund was initially launched in 2022, focused on providing unique investment opportunities in private credit. With Wormhole's integration, this tokenized feeder fund will now feature a host of enhanced on-chain capabilities, including the ability to retrieve the fund’s daily net asset value (NAV) pricing, facilitate immediate subscriptions, and enable on-demand redemptions. It will operate seamlessly across Ethereum and Optimism, two well-known blockchain ecosystems.

By acting as the official multichain partner, Wormhole aims to facilitate the effortless movement of the newly launched SCOPE Feeder Fund token across different blockchain networks, ensuring unified liquidity for allocators and offering developers opportunities for composable integrations. This transformation turns the SCOPE Feeder Fund from a conventional static token into an adaptable component within the expansive decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset (RWA) landscape.

Robinson Burkey, co-founder of Wormhole Foundation, highlighted the paradigm shift in institutional approaches towards blockchain technology. He remarked, "Institutions are no longer merely exploring blockchain; they are actively constructing applications with it. However, the underlying infrastructure must support scalability, compliance, and multichain flexibility. That’s exactly what Wormhole offers. Our collaboration with SCOPE demonstrates the potential for secure growth of tokenized credit across multiple networks, wherever investment demand arises."

This milestone not only highlights Wormhole’s emerging role within the financial sector but also reinforces a significant trend among institutional players. With the launch of the SCOPE Feeder Fund, Wormhole's portfolio now commands over $3.5 billion in multichain tokenized assets under management, solidifying its position as a leader in building next-generation multichain infrastructure across today’s financial landscape.

Michael Sonnenshein, Chief Operating Officer of Securitize, noted the accelerating demand from major asset managers. He stated, "We observe a compelling trend with top asset managers seeking more than just tokenized funds; they require infrastructure that enables unfettered movement of those assets across various blockchain chains. By marrying Hamilton Lane's investment prowess with Wormhole's interoperability and our platform for tokenization, we are actively contributing to the evolution of institutional finance."

By facilitating multichain accessibility to sophisticated credit strategies like SCOPE, Wormhole is not merely enhancing liquidity and accessibility; it’s redefining the methodologies of capital circulation within the ever-evolving internet economy. Each new integration moves Wormhole closer to a future where traditional finance and blockchain technology function in unison, offering a 24/7, borderless economic landscape.

As of March 31, 2025, Hamilton Lane oversees approximately $958 billion in assets, with an extensive portfolio that includes over $138 billion in discretionary and more than $819 billion in non-discretionary assets. This reflects Hamilton Lane's commitment to innovative investment strategies and a broad spectrum of private market options spanning various sectors and regions.

In closing, the strategic partnership between Wormhole and Hamilton Lane serves as a beacon of innovation and future potential in the world of tokenized finance—one that is rapidly evolving to meet the needs of a diverse array of institutional investors and reshaping the contours of how finance can be mobilized in a blockchain-enabled world.
