Laser Digital Unveils Polygon Adoption Fund for Institutional Investors

Laser Digital 为机构投资者推出 Polygon 采用基金

New York—Laser Digital, the digital asset arm of Nomura, has today announced the launch of the Laser Digital Polygon Adoption Fund (the "Fund"). The Fund provides institutional investors access to the staking yields of MATIC, the native token of the Polygon proof-of-stake blockchain.

纽约——野村证券的数字资产部门 Laser Digital 今天宣布推出 Laser Digital Polygon 采用基金（“基金”）。该基金为机构投资者提供了 MATIC 的质押收益率，MATIC 是 Polygon 股权证明区块链的原生代币。

Polygon, a leading enterprise blockchain, has witnessed significant adoption by institutional and corporate entities. In the past year alone, Siemens issued a €60 million bond on the Polygon blockchain, while other German institutions such as Bankhaus Scheich and Melzer Asset Managers have also utilized the platform for tokenized fund offerings. American asset manager Hamilton Lane leveraged Polygon to issue digitally native shares in a Luxembourg-based fund. Additionally, JP Morgan and other participants employed Polygon as part of Project Guardian, a Singapore-based initiative enabling traditional financial institutions to experiment with public blockchains.

Polygon 是领先的企业区块链，已被机构和企业实体广泛采用。仅在过去一年，西门子就在 Polygon 区块链上发行了 6000 万欧元债券，而 Bankhaus Scheich 和 Melzer Asset Managers 等其他德国机构也利用该平台进行代币化基金发行。美国资产管理公司 Hamilton Lane 利用 Polygon 在卢森堡基金发行数字原生股票。此外，摩根大通和其他参与者将 Polygon 作为 Project Guardian 的一部分，这是一项总部位于新加坡的计划，使传统金融机构能够尝试公共区块链。

To establish the Fund, Laser Digital partnered with TruFin and Webn, a Web3 incubator founded by Alan Howard, in which Laser is an investor. TruFin, a portfolio company of Webn, provides the underlying liquid staking solution, TruStake, on which the Fund is based.

为了设立该基金，Laser Digital 与 TruFin 和 Webn 合作，Webn 是由 Alan Howard 创立的 Web3 孵化器，Laser 是其中的投资者。 TruFin 是 Webn 的投资组合公司，提供基础流动质押解决方案 TruStake，该基金就是基于该解决方案。

Laser Digital targets institutional investors including sovereign wealth funds, institutional funds, and private asset managers. While Bitcoin and Ethereum exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded products (ETPs) offer exposure to cryptocurrencies, staking presents an additional revenue stream independent of price movements, while simultaneously contributing to blockchain network security.

Laser Digital 面向机构投资者，包括主权财富基金、机构基金和私人资产管理公司。虽然比特币和以太坊交易所交易基金（ETF）和交易所交易产品（ETP）提供了加密货币敞口，但质押提供了独立于价格变动的额外收入流，同时有助于区块链网络安全。

Accessibility to Staking

质押的可及性

Despite the popularity of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, notably BlackRock's $17 billion ITBIT, there is growing demand for staking funds. The 21Shares Ethereum Staking ETP (Swiss) currently manages approximately $570 million in assets under management (AUM). The SIX Digital Exchange and Boerse Stuttgart also provide institutional-grade solutions for Ethereum staking.

尽管比特币 ETF 在美国很受欢迎，尤其是贝莱德 170 亿美元的 ITBIT，但对 Stake 基金的需求仍在不断增长。 21Shares 以太坊质押 ETP（瑞士）目前管理着约 5.7 亿美元的资产管理规模 (AUM)。 SIX Digital Exchange 和 Boerse Stuttgart 还为以太坊质押提供机构级解决方案。

However, many institutions may hesitate to engage directly in staking due to its technical complexities. This is where TruMATIC, TruFin's liquid staking token that targets MATIC rather than ETH, comes into play. TruMATIC aims to generate higher yields than direct staking and serves as a passive investment vehicle, allowing investors to purchase the token while TruFin manages the underlying staking process. The current market capitalization of TruMATIC is approximately $61 million. Over the past nine months, TruMATIC has consistently delivered an annual percentage yield (APY) exceeding 5%, despite being launched only late last year.

然而，由于技术复杂性，许多机构可能会犹豫是否直接参与质押。这就是 TruMATIC 发挥作用的地方，TruFin 的流动性质押代币以 MATIC 而不是 ETH 为目标。 TruMATIC 旨在产生比直接质押更高的收益，并作为一种被动投资工具，允许投资者在 TruFin 管理基础质押流程时购买代币。 TruMATIC 目前的市值约为 6100 万美元。尽管 TruMATIC 去年年底才推出，但在过去 9 个月里，其年收益率 (APY) 始终超过 5%。

The Fund will initially be offered in the United Kingdom, with plans to expand to other jurisdictions in the future. Laser Digital launched its first fund, the Bitcoin Adoption Fund, in September 2022.

该基金最初将在英国发行，并计划未来扩展到其他司法管辖区。 Laser Digital 于 2022 年 9 月推出了第一支基金——比特币采用基金。

"Laser Digital Asset Management strives to bridge the gap between decentralized finance (DeFi) investment opportunities and tradable solutions suitable for institutional investors," said Sebastien Guglietta, Head of Laser Digital Asset Management. "Through the integration of TruFin's technology and Polygon's AggLayer, we are unlocking access to Polygon-Matic digital assets in a secure and efficient manner."

Laser Digital Asset Management 负责人 Sebastien Guglietta 表示：“Laser Digital Asset Management 致力于弥合去中心化金融 (DeFi) 投资机会与适合机构投资者的可交易解决方案之间的差距。” “通过 TruFin 的技术和 Polygon 的 AggLayer 的集成，我们正在以安全高效的方式解锁对 Polygon-Matic 数字资产的访问。”

At a technical level, the Fund leverages Polygon's AggLayer, enabling cross-chain composability and transactions. It aims to create a seamless cross-blockchain experience, while maintaining the security provided by the Ethereum network.

在技​​术层面，该基金利用 Polygon 的 AggLayer，实现跨链可组合性和交易。它旨在创建无缝的跨区块链体验，同时维护以太坊网络提供的安全性。
