Blockchain asset manager CMCC Global announced on Oct. 22, 2026, the tokenization of two flagship quantitative investment vehicles under El Salvador's Digital Asset Framework 1. The offerings represent the jurisdiction's first tokenized fund-of-funds structures and rely on issuance infrastructure provided by Tether's Hadron platform alongside listing venue Bitfinex Securities 1.
The offerings cover CMCC Global's Crest Fund and the Liberty Bitcoin Accumulation Fund (LBAF), which operate as segregated portfolios of Cayman Islands-domiciled CMCC Global SPC 1. The USD-denominated Crest seeks returns outpacing US Treasury yields, while LBAF aims for net annualized returns of 8% to 12% denominated in $BTC 1. Both vehicles run market-neutral quantitative hedge fund strategies across decentralized finance, market making, funding-rate arbitrage, and cross-venue arbitrage 1. At the time of writing, Bitcoin traded around $81,961, down 1.6% over the preceding 24 hours.
Structure and Anchor Capital
Tokens will be minted against underlying fund shares through Bitfinex Securities El Salvador at initial prices of $10 per CREST token and 0.0001 BTC per LBAF token, with a minimum investment threshold of one token 1. The architecture burns tokens upon redemption to preserve a 1:1 economic peg with fund shares while enforcing identity verification rules 1. Secondary trading will operate continuously on Bitfinex Securities, alongside self-custody options across approved whitelisted addresses 1.
Publicly listed digital asset treasury firm BTCS S.A. has committed to anchor the offerings, intending to allocate an undisclosed triple-digit BTC amount during the launch 1. The capital raise subscription window opened on Oct. 22 and remains available to eligible participants through Oct. 30, 2026 1.
