The digital asset division of Nomura has announced the launch of a new investment product aimed at generating yields from Bitcoin investments, specifically designed for institutional clients seeking more than just traditional price exposure.
Key Highlights
- Product Name: Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund (BDYF)
- Purpose: Cater to the rising demand for tokenized yield-focused investments over standard investment products.
- Investment Strategy: Unlike traditional Bitcoin funds that solely focus on price appreciation, this new fund aims to produce income through diverse strategies while keeping a Bitcoin exposure.
- Service Providers: Kaio will provide tokenization services, and Komainu will act as the primary custodian.
- Eligibility: The fund will be accessible exclusively to institutional and accredited investors.
In summary, Jez Mohideen, Co-founder and CEO of Laser Digital, highlighted how recent market fluctuations have sharpened interest in investment strategies that offer returns while minimizing correlations with broader market movements.
“Recent market volatility has shown that yield-bearing, market-neutral funds built on calculated DeFi strategies are the natural evolution of crypto asset management.”
This approach complements direct Bitcoin holdings rather than replacing them, signaling an innovative direction for the future of crypto investments.
