Laser Digital, backed by Nomura, launches tokenized Bitcoin yield fund

PANews, January 22 – According to CoinDesk, Laser Digital, the crypto trading subsidiary of Nomura, has launched a tokenized bitcoin yield fund. The fund aims to provide asset returns for long-term holders through market-neutral arbitrage, lending, and options strategies. Its goal is to achieve a net return exceeding the spot performance of bitcoin by more than 5% over a rolling 12-month period.

The fund will be natively tokenized through the institutional-grade tokenization platform KAIO, and will be custodied by Komainu, a joint venture custodian established by Nomura, CoinShares, and Ledger. It is open only to certain qualified investors in eligible jurisdictions (excluding the United States), with a minimum subscription amount of $250,000 or the equivalent in bitcoin.
