XDC Network's XVC Technology Makes Investment in Laser Digital Carry Fund, Sets Up Institutional Fund Framework in Collaboration with Libre
San Francisco-based venture capital arm, XVC Tech, announced its investment in the Laser Digital Carry Fund, a market-neutral digital asset strategy managed by Nomura Holdings' digital asset subsidiary, Laser Digital. As part of this collaboration, on-chain infrastructure provider Libre will deploy its framework for issuing and managing tokenized investment products on the XDC Network.
Libre's integration brings a compliant mechanism for institutional and accredited investors to access tokenized financial products on the XDC Network. The venture has enabled the tokenization of various strategies, including regulated hedge funds, money market funds, and private credit, from notable institutions like BlackRock, Brevan Howard, Hamilton Lane, and Laser Digital, said Dr. Avtar Sehra, Libre's CEO [1].
This step signifies an extension of accessible regulated investment opportunities for institutional and accredited investors within the XDC ecosystem. Thibault Delrue, investment manager at XVC Tech, stated that the partnership advances the integration of institutional capital into the blockchain through trusted and compliant frameworks. He added that tokenized funds from leading asset managers can now be accessed and minted directly on their network, further expanding their ecosystem of institutional partners [1].
By combining Libre's on-chain fund issuance infrastructure with XDC Network's scalable, EVM-compatible infrastructure, the partnership sets the stage for broader institutional adoption of blockchain-native financial products, with the potential to unlock cross-chain composability and provide more access to institutional-grade investment opportunities [2].
