Baillie Gifford launches BAGEY, a tokenized bond fund settling in USDC or fiat

Professional investors are the group that immediately notices this, because the fund is explicitly limited to that audience and sets a $100 entry point. For them, the practical change is that a tokenized bond fund is now available with settlement in USDC or fiat, rather than only in a traditional fund format.

What is still open is how the fund will be used after launch and whether the tokenized structure will be adopted beyond this product. The available details do not show trading volumes, launch timing beyond the announcement itself, or any later changes to eligibility, and those points would be settled by subsequent fund disclosures or operating updates.
