Invesco and Superstate Advance Institutional Tokenization Through USTB Partnership

Invesco, a $2.2T global asset manager, to become the investment manager of Superstate’s flagship tokenized short-duration U.S. treasuries fund, USTB

Invesco Ltd., a leading global asset management firm, and Superstate, the premier financial technology firm reshaping capital market infrastructure, announced a collaboration in which Invesco Advisers, Inc. will become investment manager of Superstate Short Duration US Government Securities Fund (USTB). USTB, Superstate’s tokenized short-duration U.S. treasuries fund, will continue to be powered by Superstate’s best-in-class tokenization technology. Through this collaboration, Invesco will become the first asset manager to utilize Superstate’s digital transfer agent infrastructure.

With over $967 million in assets under management (AUM) and among the top five largest tokenized U.S. treasuries funds globally¹, USTB brings together two complimentary leaders: Invesco, one of the world’s largest asset managers with over $2.2 trillion in AUM, and Superstate, the leading fintech company bringing Wall Street’s capital markets onchain.

USTB will be managed by Invesco’s Global Liquidity team, which has over forty-five years of experience in managing money market and other short-term cash management products. Invesco’s Global Liquidity Team, led by Laurie Brignac, Chief Investment Officer and Head of Global Liquidity, will add USTB to the over $200 billion in assets it manages.

“Our collaboration with Invesco marks the first time an independent asset manager has leveraged Superstate’s tokenization infrastructure,” said Robert Leshner, Co-Founder, Chief Executive Officer of Superstate. “This is the blueprint for how funds and ETFs will come onchain — and we couldn’t ask for a better partner to lead the way.”

“Invesco has been strategically building the capabilities required to support institutional-grade digital asset products since 2019, and this partnership reflects that long-term commitment,” said Kathleen Wrynn, Global Head of Digital Assets at Invesco. “Superstate’s onchain infrastructure pairs naturally to support Invesco’s ambitions to scale tokenized offerings over time, and USTB already demonstrates how tokenization can enhance access and efficiency for short-duration government exposure.”

Launched in early 2024, USTB was Superstate’s first tokenized fund and among the earliest institutional-grade products focused on providing crypto-native institutional investors exposure to short-duration U.S. treasury securities. Since inception, USTB has onboarded over 150 different institutional investors and has processed billions of dollars of transactions.

USTB’s growth into one of the largest tokenized U.S. treasuries funds globally reflects market validation of its institutional-grade infrastructure. As Invesco expands USTB’s reach, Superstate remains focused on advancing the underlying technology and onchain platform to keep the fund at the forefront of the market.

USTB will maintain its investment strategy and structure, with Invesco taking over day-to-day portfolio management responsibilities. Superstate will continue operating the fund’s onchain infrastructure, including tokenized issuance, blockchain-based settlement and digital transfer agency services, while expanding DeFi integrations and broadening support across the crypto ecosystem.

Upon completion of the transition, expected in Q2 2026², USTB will be renamed Invesco Short Duration US Government Securities Fund, while maintaining the same USTB ticker, smart contracts and token address.
