Laser Digital Introduces Tokenized Bitcoin Yield Fund Targeting Institutional Demand

• Laser Digital launched a tokenized Bitcoin fund that generates yield without relying on BTC price gains.
• The move highlights rising institutional demand for regulated, income-focused crypto products.

Laser Digital, a crypto investment firm backed by one of the largest financial giants, has launched a new Bitcoin yield fund which aims the long term bitcoin holders earn returns on the BTC price movements. It was named the Laser Digital Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund SP. 

This is the first naturally tokenized bitcoin yield fund, which means the Fund itself is issued as a token on the blockchain infrastructure, and the investors hold the tokenized fund units rather than the traditional fund shares. The Tokenization is handled through KAIO, and the Bitcoin assets custody is provided by Komainu, which is the joint venture between Nomura, CoinShares, and Ledger. 

The Fund generates yield using the low-risk strategies, including market-neutral arbitrage, crypto lending, options strategies, and carry-style trades. Because these strategies are market neutral, the goal is to earn yield instead of simply holding the bitcoin and waiting for the price to go up.

Laser Digital says that the fund aims to deliver more than 5% net excess return above Bitcoin’s price movement and measured over rolling 12 month periods across different market conditions. The fund has some restrictions on investment, which include that the investment is only for the large and professional investors with a minimum investment of $250,000 or bitcoin equivalent, and is not available to U.S. investors. 

Jez Mohideen, CEO of Laser Digital, says the product reflects a shift in crypto asset management. According to him, investors no longer want to just hold the bitcoin, and they want Bitcoin and income without any huge risk. 

This launch shows how Bitcoin investing is changing, and traditional finance is entering crypto yield products. Backed by the Nomura Laser digital fund shows how Bitcoin investing is maturing into the full-fledged asset management segment.
