BounceBit, a platform specializing in CeDeFi infrastructure, has announced an investment from Laser Digital, the digital asset subsidiary of Nomura Holdings. The deal marks a significant collaboration, reflecting the increasing involvement of traditional financial institutions in the digital asset space. Laser Digital's backing is expected to support BounceBit's plans to enhance its platform’s capabilities, particularly in integrating real-world asset (RWA) collateralization, such as T-bills and RWA-backed stablecoins like USDY, Hashnote's USYC, and Ethena's USDtb.
BounceBit’s ongoing efforts to merge decentralized finance (DeFi) with traditional financial systems are gaining momentum with this partnership. As a subsidiary of Nomura, Laser Digital’s investment highlights the growing institutional interest in blockchain technology. The platform will benefit from Laser Digital's expertise in capital markets and banking, with a particular focus on leveraging Nomura’s strengths in Asian financial markets. This collaboration is anticipated to play a role in advancing RWA use cases, particularly within the forex market.
BounceBit continues to provide institutional-grade yield products, utilizing its dual-token PoS Layer 1 blockchain, secured by Bitcoin and $BB, to offer security and full Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility. The platform’s integration of liquidity custody tokens (LCTs) allows users to access centralized finance (CeFi) yields, participate in restaking activities, and gain exposure to tokenized RWAs for diversified yield generation.
