Multi-chain DeFi protocol iZUMi Finance announced the establishment of a $20 million Upstarts Fund in partnership with Nasdaq-listed CIMG Inc. (NASDAQ: IMG). The fund aims to help traditional enterprises deploy capital into the digital asset sector through a compliant and transparent framework. The Upstarts Fund comprises three core components: a DeFi liquidity treasury, which provides on-chain returns to listed companies' coffers, deepens ecosystem liquidity, and accelerates DeFi application adoption; premium token investments, which help listed companies achieve institutional-level investment and allocation in high-quality digital assets; and tokenized stock trading services, which promote on-chain circulation of US stocks and tokenized stocks, further expanding the integration of traditional and digital assets. CIMG and iZUMi have already completed the first interest-bearing Bitcoin DAT (decentralized asset tokenization) product through the fund.
