For professionals
Institutional access
Regulated asset managers and institutions can license our index methodologies and onchain technology. Access is granted after identity, sanctions and eligibility checks.
Services
What licensing institutions receive
Onboarding
We onboard regulated asset managers and institutions. This includes identity checks on the firm and its people (KYC/KYB), sanctions screening, and an eligibility check for your jurisdiction.
API access
Direct data access to index composition, index levels and transactions, so you can plug them into your own management and risk tools.
Dedicated reporting
Regular reports on composition, performance attribution and full rebalance history. Delivered in a machine-readable format.
Dedicated contact
A named contact for onboarding, day-to-day questions and escalation.
How fund access works
Iceberg Finance sponsors tokenised thematic equity funds. We design the methodology, select the underlying holdings and structure the fund. Investors subscribe to fund shares directly, or through their advisor, wealth manager or family office acting on their behalf. We do not act as investment adviser, broker-dealer or asset manager for any underlying client account.
Custom solutions
Custom index solutions for licensees
These services are only for regulated financial institutions and asset managers, under a licensing agreement. They are not available to individual or retail investors.
Custom screen or exclusion list
Apply your own screen or exclusion list to an existing Iceberg Finance index. The underlying methodology stays the same.
Custom weighting
Apply a different weighting method to an existing Iceberg Finance index universe. The same caps, buffers and review calendar still apply.
White-label index
Build an entirely new index under your own brand, using our methodology framework and technology.
Data
Index data & licensing
Licensees can access index level data, constituent data and corporate-action data. Use it for benchmarking, performance monitoring, product construction and internal analysis. It will be delivered through an API or a data feed, using the technology described on the How It Works page.
04 — Format
What is an xETF?
“xETF” is the market's name for an exchange-traded index product whose units — and the shares inside it — exist as tokens onchain. Iceberg Finance works one step earlier in the chain.
What it is
A fund-like product, built onchain, that tracks a published index. An xETF is issued and operated by a regulated issuer or asset manager — not by Iceberg Finance.
Where we sit
We design the index rules an xETF can track, and the data and technology behind them. We do not create, run or sell xETFs.
Why the format matters
Because it lives onchain, an xETF's holdings and index data can be verified continuously — not on a daily or monthly delay.
What it is not
An xETF is a product built by someone else; an index is a set of rules for measuring performance. Nothing on this page is an offer to buy or sell anything.
xETFs vs traditional ETFs
Neither format wins in every case. The table sets out the structural differences — nothing more.
| Dimension | Traditional ETF | xETF |
|---|---|---|
| Settlement | Typically T+2, through banks and clearing houses. | Onchain, final within minutes of confirmation. |
| Transparency | Holdings disclosed daily or monthly, depending on the fund. | Holdings and index composition visible onchain, near real time. |
| Access | Through brokers and bank accounts, during exchange hours. | Units move onchain: eligible participants onboard and settle at any hour, through regulated fund channels. |
| Programmability | Fund administration and corporate actions handled by back-office teams. | Rebalance notices, data and administration can be published automatically by software, within the applicable rules. |
| Market maturity | Deep liquidity, decades of regulation, established clearing. | A newer format: liquidity, rules and verification standards are still developing. |
This comparison is descriptive only. Iceberg Finance does not issue, manage, market or distribute any ETF or xETF. Any product referenced is the responsibility of the relevant licensee or regulated issuer.
