[ZIGChain @ZIGChain]

A big two weeks that saw the capital arrive. An institution put money into our chain, an ecosystem protocol crossed a major milestone, and the founders went on record with their main idea.

So, here's what moved: Laser Digital, the digital assets arm of Nomura Group, made a strategic investment in ZIGChain and is working with ZIG Markets on product structuring and risk governance for a suite of private credit vaults. Valdora crossed $51M in total value locked, an all-time high.

📰 Headline News

- @LaserDigital_ invested in ZIGChain: Nomura Group's digital assets arm is backing the build-out of onchain private credit across the Gulf, and will provide product structuring and risk governance for ZIG Markets vault products. CoinDesk covered it on 5 August. 🔗 https://t.co/F6dJM0UVDx

📝 Ecosystem

- @Valdora_finance crossed $51M in total value locked, an all-time high, growing 35% in a week: the capital behind that growth is stablecoin holders putting USDC into ZIG Markets-powered vaults, where it finances real businesses rather than sitting idle. 🔗 https://t.co/iaUvAdvv1s

🎙️ Events

- The Founders' Table, 11 August: @ARafayGadit and @davidrodriguezc were joined by @jacksaracco, Head of Stablecoin at @ADIChain_, on financing a business without owning a bank, and why distribution decides whether a tokenized asset goes anywhere. 378 people tuned in. Moderated by @Khaliiqo. Recaps run this week. 🔗 https://t.co/uBSrdvZd2U

Capital in, credit financed, repayments visible: the loop that makes this an economy rather than a launch is running.

@wkaszycki @BTCS_SA Active Bitcoin Treasury

[Wojciech Kaszycki @wkaszycki]

Most listed companies still treat Bitcoin as a passive balance sheet asset.

At @BTCS_SA, our thesis is different:

Bitcoin treasury should be active.
Validator infrastructure matters.
Yield should come from disciplined execution, not speculation.
Tokenization will reshape capital markets.

To grow this community, I’m giving away 5x $100 in BTC.

[ZIGChain @ZIGChain]

The past two weeks have been the most significant in ZIGChain's history.

On April 28 in Dubai, we brought together more than 50 partners and thousands of $ZIG community members. People came from across the world specifically to be in that room. A further 15,000 watched live. The conversations that took place there were not about what onchain finance might eventually become. They were about what it is already becoming, and what comes next.

ZIG Markets was announced. EVM compatibility was confirmed. Institutional partners joined us on stage. New dApp features went live, not previewed, but operational. And still there is more to come.

What ZIGChain Summit 2026 demonstrated is that the infrastructure being built here is no longer a proposition. It is already in use, and the people building alongside us, institutions, partners, and a community that continues to grow, are proof of that.

We are grateful to everyone who was part of it.

Let's dive in 👇

📰 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗡𝗲𝘄𝘀

- ZIG Markets is live. At ZIGChain Summit 2026, Co-Founder @ARafayGadit introduced ZIG Markets, the AI-powered execution layer that connects originators, infrastructure, and distribution into one coordinated flow. The fragmentation problem in onchain finance just found its answer.

- ZIGChain is going EVM-compatible. Co-Founder and CEO @brbordallo announced at the Summit that the $ZIG Wealth Management Engine is opening up to the entire Ethereum ecosystem. Broader distribution, deeper liquidity, and full DeFi interoperability.

🔹 𝗭𝗜𝗚𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝘁 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲

🎙️ 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝟭 - 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲: 𝗔 𝗨𝗔𝗘 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲: Omar Al Shamsie (Watermelon), Christiane El Habre (@ApexGlobalGroup), and @nameerk (MENA Fintech Association), moderated by Wajdan Gul (@squatwolf). How the UAE is aligning capital, regulation, and infrastructure to lead the global shift onchain and what that means for ecosystems like ZIGChain building here.

🔥 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝟭 - 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗽𝘀 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻: @AaqibGadit and Dr. Jonathan Doerr from @disrupt_com on the venture-building playbook and how the region is designing, capitalising, and scaling startups for global impact from day one.

🎙️ 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝟮 - 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝘄: Chris Richter (ADGM), Ruben Bombardi (VARA), Dr. Bhaskar Das (Apex), Ramy Soliman (Stablecoin Standard/MESA), and Serena Sebastiani (@fuzefinance), moderated by Dolly Ramaiya (Truleum Ventures). How progressive regulation turns into real capital flows, and why the UAE’s regulatory infrastructure is becoming the backbone of institutional onchain finance.

🔥 𝗙𝗶𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝟮 - 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗼𝗹𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: @ARafayGadit sat down with @SaeedaJaffar, Managing Director Middle East, Pakistan and Africa at @circle. The key takeaway: the industry is entering a new phase where capital, regulation, and infrastructure are finally aligning. Stablecoins proved there is massive demand for faster, programmable, borderless capital movement. Now the focus is shifting toward the compliant infrastructure and regulatory frameworks that allow institutions to participate at scale.

🎙️ 𝗣𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗹 𝟯 - 𝗧𝗼𝗸𝗲𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀: The headline panel of the Summit. Dino Ibric (@Swissquote), @Jez_Laser (@LaserDigital_), Ramana Kumar (@ADI_Foundation), Mohammad Taha (@NOIACapital), and Faisal Al Hammadi (@further Ventures), moderated by Ali Samir Oosman. The conversation was not about whether capital markets are moving onchain. That shift is already happening. It was about the infrastructure, regulatory clarity, and capital rails needed to make it work at institutional scale. The alignment in the room was clear.

🔦 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜 - 𝗘𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺 𝗱𝗔𝗽𝗽𝘀:

@Ask_ORO: Public access to https://t.co/0SwynQnDRD opened at the Summit. Tell it what you want, it executes onchain. DeFi, finally built for everyone.

@Valdora_finance: The Liquid Everything concept took center stage. RWA vaults are live, where any qualifying asset can be deposited into structured yield strategies and remain liquid through a composable vault token.

@NawaFinance: The new $USDC vault went live on ZIGChain at the Summit, bearing 15% APY. Stablecoin double digit yield, now within reach.

🔦 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗜 - 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀

1- @beehiveFintech: Progress on bringing UAE SME private credit onchain shared live on stage. $1B+ deployed, DFSA-regulated, now building on ZIGChain's infrastructure to reach a much wider audience.

2- @taurus_hq: The integration enabling ZIGChain assets to be held and tokenized across Taurus' network of clients spanning 5 continents and 12 countries, presented by Managing Director Bashir Kazour.

3- @fuzefinance: Co-Founder and CEO @Moaliyusuf took the stage to discuss Fuze's vision and direction within the ZIGChain ecosystem.

4- @Zamanathq: New CEO Umair Tariq announced live on stage.

👥 Community

The ZIGChain community showed up from across the world for the Summit in Dubai, and gathered again the day after for a special meetup with the team.

It was a chance for the ZIGChain team to personally meet the community behind the ecosystem, the people who have been here long before the spotlight arrived.

𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗼𝗼𝗻

Access Granted Episode 4 drops today. @ARafayGadit, @ahm3dzig, and @phil_cp go deeper on ZIG Markets, the institutional participation at the Summit, and what it all means for $ZIG holders. Stay tuned.
