Zamanat Fund CEIC Limited is the company’s first live proof point for regulated fund tokenization on ZIGChain focused on GCC private credit.
Zamanat today announced its sponsorship of Zamanat Fund CEIC Limited (the “Fund”), a DIFC-domiciled tokenized private credit fund with a target size of up to USD 100 million. The Fund targets the GCC’s estimated $250 billion SME financing gap, with only 11 percent of SMEs across the region having access to credit.
Closing a $250 billion structural gap in GCC SME credit
Across the GCC, SMEs are central to economic growth yet remain significantly underserved by traditional financing. In the UAE, SMEs generate more than half of GDP and employ the majority of the private-sector workforce, yet receive less than 10 percent of total bank lending.
The Fund will invest in private credit across the region, directing capital towards strong homegrown companies whose financing needs are not fully met through traditional lending channels. The strategy supports national ambitions to expand SME participation, private-sector growth and access to alternative financing, including priorities set out under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE Centennial 2071.
“Strong businesses across the GCC still struggle to access growth capital despite sound fundamentals. Zamanat sponsored the Fund to create a credible route between those businesses and institutional capital. With a target size of up to USD 100 million and interests issued as Investment Tokens, it is our first live proof point for bringing GCC private credit into a regulated digital structure for Professional Clients,” said Umair Tariq, Founder and CEO of Zamanat.
Bringing GCC private credit into digital markets
Tokenization expands the infrastructure around traditionally hard-to-access private-market assets without changing the underlying investment or credit profile.
The Fund combines a regional private credit strategy, a DIFC fund structure, institutional administration and digital issuance on ZIGChain. It provides a first live demonstration of how regional private credit can be brought into a DFSA-regulated tokenized structure for Professional Clients.
The Fund is a DFSA-regulated closed-ended fund registered as an Exempt Fund and classified as a Credit Fund. It is managed by Truleum Venture Partners Limited and administered by Apex Group. Fund interests will be issued as ZM1 Investment Tokens on ZIGChain within a regulated, whitelisted environment.
As sponsor, Zamanat brings its regional private credit, investment structuring and institutional partnership expertise to the Fund’s development. Truleum retains responsibility for all regulated fund-management activities.
The ZM1 Investment Token structure provides a blockchain-native ownership and settlement layer within the Fund’s regulated framework. It also allows qualifying investors who meet the DFSA Professional Client criteria to participate alongside institutional investors.
Zamanat is backed by Disrupt.com, a MENA-based, operator-led AI-native venture builder and lead investor in the business.
Building the global market for Digital Shariah Assets
Global Islamic finance assets are projected to reach $9.7 trillion by 2029, yet demand for digital and Shariah-aligned assets is growing faster than the institutional infrastructure connecting them with global capital.
Zamanat continues to build the global market for Digital Shariah Assets. Its wider operating model combines investment structuring, Shariah expertise, regulated partner routes and digital distribution to bring real-world assets to market through traditional and digital channels.
The DIFC-domiciled Fund evidences the regulated fund-tokenization, digital ownership and partner-orchestration capability within that wider build. Zamanat is progressing a separate pipeline of Digital Shariah Assets across private credit, receivables, real estate and other asset classes.
Institutional partnerships
Apex Group acts as Fund Administrator, providing institutional fund administration and controls from the outset.
“Zamanat is supporting the creation of a new category in Digital Assets. Bringing institutional structure and digital distribution together within a DFSA-regulated framework sets the standard for how this market should be built, and this fund shows the model working at institutional scale. We are proud to support the infrastructure behind it, and we look forward to partnering further on the projects Zamanat already has in motion,” said Peter Hughes, Founder & CEO, Apex Group.
The global market for Digital Shariah Assets does not yet exist as an institutional category. Zamanat is building it.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, September 10th, 2026, Chainwire
Tech entrepreneur and angel investor Alessio Vinassa today announced the expansion of his investment framework focusing on the convergence of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity, applying strategic risk-mitigation model lessons derived from managing high-pressure financial turnarounds to emerging enterprise technologies. Before he began investing across artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, Web3 and innovative finance, he faced a financial collapse that changed how he understood risk.
Alessio reached a point where approximately €180,000 was due while only about €2,200 remained in his bank account. The situation left him facing the possibility of bankruptcy and forced him to confront the consequences of growth without sufficient protection, diversification or structural discipline.
The experience became more than a difficult chapter in his entrepreneurial career. It influenced how he would later evaluate businesses, support founders and approach emerging technology.
Today, Alessio has more than fifteen years of operating and investment experience and has backed more than 40 ventures across cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, Web3 and innovative finance. His current work reflects a strategic reality that businesses can no longer afford to ignore artificial intelligence and cybersecurity are becoming increasingly intertwined.
Artificial intelligence is changing how companies interpret information, automate work and make decisions. Each capability can also introduce another form of dependence. Systems require access to data. Automated tools may influence customer interactions, financial activity and internal operations. The more authority companies give these technologies, the more important security, transparency and accountability become.
For Alessio, this is where innovation must meet discipline.
“AI should amplify executive judgment, not replace it,” he says.
Technology can increase speed and capability, but leaders remain responsible for determining how that capability should be used, which risks are acceptable and where human oversight must remain.
Cybersecurity provides part of the foundation for that trust. As artificial intelligence becomes embedded in important business processes, security extends beyond protecting networks from external threats. Companies must also understand who can access information, how automated actions are monitored and what happens when a system produces an unexpected result.
Businesses that address these questions early may be better positioned to earn the confidence of customers, investors and commercial partners. Those that treat security as an addition after adoption risk allowing operational exposure to grow alongside their success.
Alessio’s technology and investment perspective was shaped by learning what can happen when momentum is mistaken for stability. His financial collapse revealed that creating value and protecting it require different capabilities. A company may appear successful while becoming increasingly dependent on favourable conditions, concentrated decisions or systems that have not developed at the same rate as its growth.
The same lesson applies to emerging technology. A product can attract attention and investment before proving that it can operate securely, respond to failure or sustain customer trust.
Alessio evaluates opportunity through more than technical novelty. His approach considers whether a technology addresses a meaningful problem, whether customers can adopt it consistently and whether the company has the governance required to support expansion. In his published investment commentary, he has identified cybersecurity, artificial intelligence governance, identity solutions and enterprise automation as areas where technology is addressing essential infrastructure needs.
The leadership teams behind these products are equally important. Alessio has spoken about the value of founders who can identify where their businesses are exposed, explain how their systems will respond under pressure and recognise which evidence would require them to change direction.
“Good governance makes companies faster, not slower,” Alessio says.
Governance is sometimes treated as a restriction on innovation. Alessio views it as the structure that allows innovation to scale responsibly. Clear decision rights, reliable reporting and defined accountability enable companies to move without depending on one person to resolve every issue.
This perspective has particular relevance as businesses adopt artificial intelligence at increasing speed. Competitive pressure can encourage companies to introduce tools before they fully understand the information those tools access or the decisions they influence.
Alessio does not argue that innovation should slow by default. His position is that speed becomes commercially valuable only when the systems supporting it can be trusted. The objective is not to eliminate every possible risk. It is to understand exposure before customers, employees and operations become dependent on the technology.
His progression from financial collapse to investing across emerging technology also informs his broader work on leadership. The lesson was not simply that an entrepreneur can recover after losing money. Recovery became meaningful because it changed the structures and decisions that followed.
Alessio is developing these ideas further in his book, No One Is Coming: The Mental Operating System for Leaders Under Pressure. The book examines how founders, executives and operators make consequential decisions when certainty is unavailable and responsibility cannot be transferred to someone else.
As artificial intelligence and cybersecurity continue to converge, that responsibility will extend beyond technology teams. Investors will need to examine the security behind innovation. Boards will need to understand the systems on which their organisations depend. Founders will need to build trust as deliberately as they build capability.
The €180,000 turning point gave Alessio’s investment philosophy a personal foundation. It taught him that unmanaged exposure can remain hidden while confidence is high and growth is still visible. His work today applies that lesson to a new technological era: innovation creates lasting value only when the structures protecting it are built to endure.

New York, NY, USA, September 9th, 2026, Chainwire
As stablecoin issuance and usage accelerate, the PYUSD ecosystem is expanding alongside it.
PayPal becomes one of the first global consumer payments brands to transform its stablecoin into a developer platform: PYUSDx, built by M0 with reserve operations from MoonPay, makes PYUSD the backbone for a new generation of custom stablecoins.
Saturn, Concrete, and Cap are live at launch, with approximately $100 million in processed volume on the platform.
Stablecoin circulation crossed $300 billion for the first time last October and has held above it since, while global monthly transfer volume topped $7.2 trillion in early 2026, overtaking the US ACH network for the first time.
PayPal, M0, and MoonPay announced the public launch of PYUSDx, a platform that gives any business the infrastructure to launch its own custom stablecoin backed by PayPal USD (PYUSD), with Saturn, Concrete, and Cap live on the platform today.
"The stablecoin market is maturing fast. What separates the next phase from the last isn't the asset. It's what companies can do with it. PYUSDx is designed to answer that," said May Zabaneh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Crypto at PayPal.
Builders have historically had three options when it comes to stablecoins: use an existing asset, build their own from scratch, or partner with infrastructure providers like M0 and MoonPay to create a custom stablecoin without developing the underlying technology. PYUSDx extends that third path to PayPal’s ecosystem and PYUSD rails.
Saturn, Concrete, and Cap have launched stablecoins on the PYUSDx platform with over $100 million in processed volume, demonstrating how a single infrastructure can underpin fundamentally different financial products across credit, investments, and DeFi.
Saturn is a structured finance protocol built on digital credit backed by Bitcoin. USDat, issued on PYUSDx, is Saturn’s stablecoin for everyday liquidity and settlement, with roughly $65 million currently in circulation. Its staked counterpart, sUSDat, gives holders exposure to STRC, Strategy's perpetual preferred equity, which currently pays a variable distribution. PYUSDx allowed Saturn to skip months of work on compliance, reserves, and payment rails and focus on the product its users actually see.
Concrete powers onchain vault infrastructure, using automated systems to allocate, rebalance, and compound returns across DeFi venues like Morpho. Concrete's flagship stable vault holds more than $800 million in stablecoin strategies overall. PYUSDx let Concrete turn a portion of its liquidity buffers into ConcUSD, its own reward-bearing stablecoin, passing the economics back to depositors with better rates and reduced strategy risk.
Cap runs a covered credit platform where depositors supply capital, institutional borrowers deploy it to generate returns, and underwriters backstop the risk. A portion of its native stablecoin, cUSD, was migrated to PYUSDx as a configurable extension of PYUSD. For Cap, the most significant change was in how the assets were backed: replacing volatile DeFi liquidity with PYUSD brought greater predictability to the capital that underpins the platform, while the association with PayPal’s ecosystem added institutional credibility that resonates with Cap's backers and borrowers. cUSD has approximately $92 million in circulating supply overall.
"Every stablecoin platform makes choices about which layers to bundle together and which to leave open," said Luca Prosperi, CEO and Co-founder of M0. "We built PYUSDx so the product layer belongs to the builder. The three companies launching on it today are each making a different product, and that's the entire point."
PYUSDx tokens are issued by MoonPay Digital Assets Limited. The platform combines M0’s universal stablecoin and digital token technology with MoonPay’s issuance and distribution infrastructure.
“The significance of PYUSDx crossing $100 million is that the scale comes from builders using the same infrastructure in entirely different ways,” said Zach Kwartler, Head of Stablecoins at MoonPay. “A credit platform, an onchain vault, and a Bitcoin-backed product shouldn’t each have to build their own stablecoin infrastructure from scratch. The PYUSDx platform gives builders an easily accessible, end-to-end issuance stack, so they can focus on what makes their stablecoin unique.”
Additional companies are launching stablecoins on PYUSDx, including USD.AI and Fairblock,. Builders interested in PYUSDx can learn more at m0.org/PYUSDx.
About PayPal USD (PYUSD)
PayPal USD is issued by Paxos Trust Company, N.A., a federally regulated national trust bank overseen by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Reserves for PayPal USD are fully backed by U.S. dollar deposits, U.S. Treasuries and similar cash equivalents, and PayPal USD can be bought or sold through PayPal and Venmo at a rate of $1.00 per PayPal USD.

Paris, France, September 9th, 2026, Chainwire
Fintech Meetup and Signal Week, formerly Paris Blockchain Week, are joining forces to create new ways for the people shaping fintech and digital assets to connect, collaborate and do business across the US and Europe.
The partnership will combine Fintech Meetup’s meetings-led financial services marketplace with Signal Week’s global digital assets community, launching in Las Vegas and Paris in 2027.
Traditional finance and digital assets are converging fast. Stablecoins, tokenisation and blockchain infrastructure are moving from experimentation towards real-world financial services, while digital asset companies increasingly need access to the institutions and partners that can take those technologies into the mainstream.
Together, Fintech Meetup and Signal Week will create the meeting place for that convergence.
The partnership brings together two highly complementary strengths. Signal Week brings deep digital assets expertise, global brands, builders, investors and policymakers. Fintech Meetup brings the wider financial services ecosystem — particularly banks and other fintech buyers - and its unique, technology-enabled Meetings Program, designed to turn shared interests into valuable one-to-one connections and commercial relationships.
It also marks the first major milestone since Signal Week joined Hyve Group in 2026, bringing both brands under one roof. Connecting the two communities was one of the driving rationales behind the acquisition, and this collaboration puts that strategy into action.
The collaboration begins at Fintech Meetup in Las Vegas in February 2027 and in 2027, the partnership continues in Paris.
Las Vegas
The partnership will come to life at Fintech Meetup 2027, February 22–24 at The Venetian, Las Vegas, as the two organisations jointly launch Digital Assets Summit, powered by Signal Week: The Bridge Between TradFi and Digital Assets. An expanded digital assets experience within Fintech Meetup, the summit puts digital assets at the heart of the event.
The Las Vegas experience will spotlight what is actually being built, deployed and adopted across financial services: real infrastructure, real deployments and real partnerships. The programme will showcase the companies and financial institutions putting the technology into production — from stablecoins and tokenisation to blockchain infrastructure and on-chain markets — and use Fintech Meetup’s Meetings Program to connect them with the institutions, customers and partners that can accelerate adoption.
Signal Week, formerly Paris Blockchain Week, will bring specialist expertise and an established global digital assets community, one that has welcomed leaders from institutions such as BlackRock, Société Générale, Circle and Ripple to past editions. Fintech Meetup will bring its broader fintech ecosystem, financial institution audience and meetings-driven model, with past attendees including Citi, Wells Fargo, U.S. Bank and Visa.
Together, the ambition is to be the most important meeting place for the people building, buying and adopting the next generation of financial infrastructure.
Louisa Hunter, President of Fintech Meetup, said: “Traditional finance and digital assets are no longer separate conversations. Banks are exploring stablecoins, tokenisation and blockchain infrastructure, while the companies building that technology need access to the institutions that can take it into the mainstream. Bringing these communities together is timely and incredibly exciting. Signal brings deep expertise, credibility and relationships across digital assets; Fintech Meetup brings the wider financial services ecosystem and a meetings model designed to turn interest into action. Together, we will build the most important meeting place for the people building, buying and adopting the next generation of financial infrastructure.”
Charlie Méraud, Co-Founder of Signal Week, said: "Wall Street is going on-chain, and so is every major financial hub. Not just financial instruments, but payment rails and programmable currencies. After years of the two industries working in silos, building that bridge has been Signal Week's goal from the start. Partnering with Fintech Meetup puts our community in front of 650+ qualified hosted leaders through a world-class double opt-in meetings program, and that's the strongest step forward we could have taken."
Then: a bigger European marketplace
The next major chapter comes to Paris in 2027, when Fintech Meetup Europe and Signal Week combine forces at Signal Week. Together, they will create a much broader meeting point for financial services, spanning banking, fintech, payments, digital assets and emerging financial infrastructure.
For the Fintech Meetup community, that means deeper access to one of the fastest-moving areas of financial services. For Signal Week’s community, it means stronger connections into financial institutions and the wider fintech ecosystem, underpinned by Fintech Meetup’s one-to-one Meetings Program.
Further details about the collaboration will be announced at the launch of Fintech Meetup Europe, October 6-8 in Lisbon.
About Fintech Meetup
Fintech Meetup brings together financial institutions, fintechs, startups, investors, retailers, merchants and technology providers to make the connections that move their businesses forward.
At the centre of the experience is its technology-enabled Meetings Program, which creates curated, double opt-in, one-to-one meetings based on what attendees want to achieve.
Alongside meetings, expert-led content and community experiences give attendees more ways to discover new ideas, find partners, and build relationships across the fintech ecosystem.
About Signal Week
Signal Week, formerly Paris Blockchain Week, is Europe's institutional summit for digital assets, bringing together the leaders shaping digital assets and onchain infrastructure.
Its global community spans financial institutions, digital asset companies, investors, founders, policymakers, and technology leaders, with more than 10,000 attendees from over 100 countries and 70% of attendees at C-suite level.
Signal Week joined Hyve Group in 2026, alongside RAISE Summit and MACHINA Summit. Together, the additions strengthen Hyve’s growing portfolio across fintech and emerging technology, with RAISE, the world's leading AI summit, and MACHINA focused on physical AI and robotics.

Live integration adds USD, EUR and GBP capabilities, including USD on/off-ramping via SWIFT, alongside SEPA and Faster Payments connectivity.
Sage Capital Management, which provides institutional clients with a complete operating system for digital assets, has selected OpenPayd, a leading provider of financial infrastructure, to extend its banking capabilities.
This latest development provides Sage Capital Management’s clients with fast settlement and enhanced technology capabilities, enabling them to move money seamlessly within a single platform. In addition, OpenPayd gives Sage Capital Management the ability to issue virtual International Bank Account Numbers (vIBANs) for every client, supporting the precise tracking of incoming and outgoing payments and simplifying reconciliation.
Building on Sage Capital Management’s existing banking capabilities, the integration expands USD, EUR and GBP payment capabilities across its platform, giving institutional clients broader fiat access as they move money into and out of digital asset markets. Through OpenPayd, Sage Capital Management has a USD account with SWIFT connectivity for fiat on/off-ramping, EUR payments via SEPA, and GBP payments through Faster Payments and SWIFT. The multi-rail access supports client payment collections and fiat settlements to liquidity providers, a core operational need for institutions trading digital assets at scale.
For Sage Capital Management’s institutional clients - hedge funds, asset managers, trading firms, brokers, corporate treasuries and digital asset treasuries - the added currencies and payment networks via OpenPayd provide greater optionality in how they fund activity and settle with liquidity providers, without relying on a single rail or currency corridor.
Lux Thiagarajah, Chief Commercial Officer at OpenPayd, said: “Institutional access to digital assets depends on being able to move money efficiently on both sides of the trade. Fiat on/off-ramping gives institutions greater choice in how they access digital asset markets, while reliable payment connectivity is essential for moving funds between clients and counterparties. Sage Capital Management is simplifying how institutions access digital asset markets, and our role is to provide the fiat connectivity that supports that proposition.”
Nathan Sage, CEO at Sage Capital Management, said: “OpenPayd is a major player in the crypto banking ecosystem, and this strategic partnership adds further strength and credibility to our platform. Our focus remains on providing clients with fast, flexible, secure and seamless access to global banking networks, enabling clients to move quickly between fiat and digital assets, and manage payments and FX. Our partnership with OpenPayd enables us to meet the highest standards of transparency and regulatory alignment.”
Sage Capital Management now gives institutional clients all the infrastructure they need to operate their digital asset offering, including banking, access to liquidity, collateralised lending and technology. The firm launched its banking offering earlier this year, giving clients named, multi-currency accounts in their own legal entity, alongside physical and virtual corporate debit cards linked directly to those accounts.

AEREDIUMは本日、同社のしきい値キー・インフラであるAERKeyを使用して構築した、同社初のエンドツーエンド製品「AERSeal」を発表しました。AERSealは、スマートコントラクト内の特権機能を一般的に制御している単一の秘密鍵を取り除き、複数の認可された承認者によって統治されるしきい値署名に置き換えることを目的としています。
スマートコントラクトは、資産のミント、コントラクトのアップグレード、または他の特権的な操作の実行など、強力な管理権限を持ち得ます。これらの権限が単一の秘密鍵に依存している場合、その鍵を失うとアクセスを恒久的に失うことになり得ます。一方で盗難や侵害によって攻撃者がコントラクトを支配することも起こり得ます。
