Nomura's Laser Digital Asset Management has launched a Bitcoin fund, combining various strategies for sustainable yields.

#What is the Launch of the Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund SP?

Laser Digital Asset Management, the digital asset division of Japan's largest investment bank, Nomura, has just debuted the Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund SP. This tokenized fund is strategically designed to deliver returns that exceed the performance of Bitcoin itself.

This fund is particularly structured for institutional and accredited investors, featuring a combination of long-only Bitcoin exposure alongside arbitrage, lending, and options strategies. These strategies work together to generate a sustainable yield. It stands out as the world’s first natively tokenized Bitcoin yield fund, issued through the platform KAIO, with custody fulfilled by Komainu, which is a regulated digital custody service supported by Nomura.

The Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund SP is an enhancement of Laser Digital’s existing Bitcoin Adoption Fund and is exclusively available to investors outside the US, with a minimum entry threshold of $250,000 or its equivalent in Bitcoin.

As the crypto asset management landscape evolves, the new fund signifies an increasing integration of calculated decentralized finance (DeFi) strategies. This represents Laser Digital's proactive engagement with the market and commitment to providing institutional-grade solutions.

The fund is engineered to fulfill the demand for effective yield-generating strategies that complement Bitcoin’s traditional role as a long-term store of value. Bitcoin itself is broadly regarded as decentralized hard money, underpinned by energy, similar to gold, yet it does not inherently provide a yield like fiat currencies or stablecoins. This fund seeks to address that gap by fostering sustainable yields for long-term Bitcoin investors.
