Japan's largest asset management company, Nomura Group's digital asset platform, Laser Digital, has launched the tokenized fund Laser Carry Fund on the Sei network.

On October 22, 2025, leading on-chain compliance RWA infrastructure platform KAIO announced today the integration of Laser Digital's Laser Carry Fund (LCF) into the Sei Network, further expanding its tokenized fund landscape.

“We are excited to achieve LCF's on-chain presence on the Sei Network through KAIO,” said Florent Jouanneau, Partner at Laser Digital and Head of Tokenization.

“The recent developments of the Sei Network in the tokenization space, particularly in real-world assets and enterprise-grade infrastructure, have made it a natural collaboration platform. We believe that building on Sei reflects the market's increasing interest in compliant, efficient, and interoperable asset management solutions.”

LCF is a separate cell of the Laser Digital Funds SPC, an independent sub-fund unit registered in the Cayman Islands as a mutual fund under Section 4(3) of the Mutual Funds Law and regulated by CIMA (Cayman Islands Monetary Authority).

The fund is managed by Laser Digital, a digital asset subsidiary of the Nomura Group, aiming to generate returns by capturing funding rate inefficiencies and collateral yield opportunities while maintaining market neutrality. Its quantitative strategy covers market and microstructure risks, optimizing portfolio returns through arbitrage and collateral yield.

The fund was initially launched to institutional investors in January of this year. Through the on-chain issuance via the Sei Network, it will leverage its ultra-fast finality, scalable architecture, and DeFi optimized design to further enhance institutional investor accessibility and operational efficiency.

“This launch represents another significant milestone in institutional blockchain adoption,” said Olivier Dang, COO of KAIO. “With the Sei Network, we are achieving fully on-chain composability access to leading fund strategies. This is the foundation of real-time, programmable financial infrastructure built for the next generation of capital markets.”

As one of the first tokenized funds on the Sei Network under KAIO's multi-manager architecture, LCF illustrates the strong demand from institutional investors to access regulated alternative investment products in the digital asset ecosystem.
