Movement Network Foundation Launches an Index Fund and Mainnet Beta
In a significant development for the cryptocurrency and blockchain landscape, the Movement Network Foundation has announced that REX-Osprey™ Funds has submitted an application for the first Movement index fund in the United States. If approved, this exchange-traded fund (ETF) will mark a historic entrance into the financial markets by allowing American investors to gain exposure to the innovative Movement ecosystem through traditional financial channels. In addition to the fund application, the Foundation has successfully launched the public beta of its Mainnet, amassing an impressive total value locked (TVL) of 250 million dollars at launch.
An Historic Moment in Blockchain
The submission of this ETF application signifies a pivotal moment not just for the Movement ecosystem but for the broader domain of Move technology. Rushi Manche, co-founder of Movement Labs, noted, ‘Breaking the mold of ETFs limited to well-established cryptocurrencies opens doors for institutional capital to support next-generation blockchain innovation.’ This sentiment was echoed by Cooper Scanlon, another co-founder, who remarked on the high interest from traditional investors looking for regulated exposure to emerging blockchain technologies without the complexities of managing tokens directly. The proposed ETF aims to bridge traditional financial products with cutting-edge blockchain architecture.
Bringing Traditional Investment Into Blockchain
What makes this ETF particularly notable is its accessibility to traditional investors. With Move, the programming language initially developed by Meta, users can efficiently create safe and effective smart contracts. The ETF would facilitate investment through conventional brokerage accounts and retirement instruments, allowing exposure to Movement without the necessary know-how for direct token management. This democratization aligns with the movement toward making blockchain technologies more user-friendly and accessible.
Successful Launch of Movement Mainnet Beta
Alongside the ETF submission, the Movement Network Foundation launched the public beta of its Mainnet. This launch achieved remarkable liquidity with 250 million dollars of total value locked right out of the gate, providing immediate utility for the network. The public beta enables users to deploy decentralized applications and smart contracts without permission, completely integrating users into the ecosystem while facilitating settlements in Ethereum. For developers and builders, this Mainnet aims to harness all the advantages offered by the Move programming language and MoveVM.
User-Friendly Access and Integration
The Mainnet’s beta version also allows users to connect via the canonical Movement bridge, powered by LayerZero technology. This integration supports a seamless experience for developers and users, ensuring they can leverage the full potential of the ecosystem.
