🇸🇦 Nomura's Laser Digital backs a $100M Saudi SME credit vault on BNB Chain

ZIG Finance has launched the zEMS Vault, an onchain fund targeting a $100 million raise that gives eligible institutional investors exposure to a pool of Saudi small and medium-sized business loans originated through Beehive. Nomura's digital asset arm Laser Digital is the vault's risk framework and tokenization advisor.

Investors subscribe and redeem in stablecoins, with KAIO handling tokenization and administration on BNB Chain, KYC checks at entry and exit, and Zamanat providing Sharia advisory. It is the first product of the ZIG Finance and Laser Digital partnership, which plans to bring the same model to other emerging markets.

⭐ Real-world asset tokenization is moving beyond Treasuries into private credit, with a global bank-backed player putting emerging-market loans onchain.
