Nomura Securities-supported Laser Digital has recently made a new move — launching a tokenized Bitcoin yield fund called the "Bitcoin Diversified Yield Fund."

How does this fund work? It is issued through the KAIO platform (formerly called Libre Capital), and asset custody is handled by Komainu, a joint venture between Nomura, CoinShares, and Ledger. By using this new form of tokenization, Bitcoin yield becomes more flexible.

Currently, this fund is mainly targeted at accredited investors outside the US, with a minimum investment threshold of 25. Interestingly, this reflects how traditional financial giants are increasingly involved in the crypto asset space, and are doing so through innovative methods like tokenization and structured yields. From the joint efforts of institutions like Nomura and CoinShares, institutional-grade Bitcoin investment tools are becoming more and more mature.

Nomura's move this time is indeed a bit bold; tokenized Bitcoin yield funds are definitely a new twist. However, speaking of which, the threshold of 250,000 is really quite high; ordinary people still can't play. The tripartite joint custody model of Komainu looks reliable, but I still want to see how the actual returns are—hopefully it's not just hype over substance. Traditional finance is indeed taking crypto seriously this time; it would have been great if they had been this attentive back then. So, how much return can this thing generate? Has anyone calculated it? Tokenization has truly changed the game, but the risks need to be considered carefully. This is an example of institutional-level BTC allocation becoming more mature, but we still need to wait and see the market reaction. Institutions with deep pockets are starting to play this, which indicates that Bitcoin has indeed entered another stage.

Another structured yield product, this time it's the traditional financial giants Machine: Starting with 250,000? And it has to be qualified investors, retail investors like us can just watch No matter how fancy the tokenization packaging is, the returns still have to be deducted from the trading counterparties Nomura and these guys finally can't sit still anymore, gradually all of them have to come into the crypto space To put it simply, it's just institutions looking for new channels to harvest retail investors

Another new trick to cut leeks? Starting at 25, it doesn't sound cheap.

Is traditional finance really capable of beating inflation with tokenization and structuring?

All the old-school monetarists have entered the market; this time it's really about to take off.

It's the same Nomura group again, tokenization yields are back Traditional giants are starting to jump in, this time it's really different Minimum investment of 250,000? That's not a low threshold, you still need to have money Is Komainu custody reliable? It feels like the risks are still quite high Another structured yield product, there are really many variations Wait, is this aiming for compliance or just a disguised cut? Institutional entry is a good thing, but it feels like the tactics are also changing Tokenization is bound to happen sooner or later, just didn't expect Nomura to act so quickly Just looking at the list, you can tell it's not simple; all three are big names Now retail investors will have to watch others' faces again

Once again, it's a story of institutional entry, starting with an investment of 250,000 and still calling it inclusive finance. --- Nomura's move makes it clear that this is no small matter; the tokenization yield model is indeed interesting. --- Only qualified investors should play; retail investors, let's continue to watch the show. --- Komainu is a good combination; custody services need to be reliable. --- I just want to know the return rate of the tokenized Bitcoin fund—just a few points. No need for all the hype; it's better to just HODL coins. --- Traditional finance is starting to take cryptocurrencies seriously, which is a good sign. --- The minimum investment threshold is so high; frankly, it's still designed for big players. --- Was KAIO previously called Libre Capital? I've been following this platform for a while, and finally, there's some big movement. --- The more mature the institutional tools become, the more competitive the crypto space gets. Where do retail investors have a chance? --- Nomura, CoinShares, and Ledger teaming up—this level of reliability is impressive.
