The Bitcoin adoption fund might be the first of its kind launched by Nomura and its digital asset arm, but the Japanese investment banking giant has been investing in the digital asset ecosystem for quite some time already. In September 2022, the firm launched its digital asset venture capital arm to stay at the forefront of digital innovation. Earlier in August this year, Nomura’s crypto arm Laser Digital also won Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) license to operate in the country.

The long only Bitcoin Adoption fund for investors in Japan comes amid a growing discussion around Bitcoin based investment products from regulated and mainstream financial giants.
