1/@LaserDigital_, the digital asset arm backed by Nomura, has given us their backing, investing in ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 and teaming up with ZIG Markets to bring institutional-grade credit onchain, built and governed the way banks and family offices actually expect.
Two weeks that ran the ecosystem's core loop and proved it compounds. Revenue, governance, wider access to onchain investment products, and the tools to track them all moved together.
This fortnight, here's what moved: The first ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 acquisition cycle completed under Tokenomics 2.0, with 1,038,600 ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 acquired, funded by a portion of ZIG Markets revenue. Half of it was retired following the outcome of the governance vote, and @NawaFinance's USDT Vault launched on Ethereum through ZIG Markets.
📰 Headline News
- Tokenomics 2.0 completed its first acquisition cycle: Through July, a portion of ZIG Markets revenue funded daily open-market purchases, acquiring 1,038,600 ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 over the month. These acquisitions are funded by a share of the fees ZIG Markets earns from originating, structuring, and distributing yield products, so they scale as the business grows.
📝 Governance & Ecosystem
- The first Tokenomics 2.0 governance proposal went live: Each month, half of the acquired ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 goes to ZIGChain's validators to decide its outcome: retire it from circulation or allocate it to the pool that funds ecosystem growth. July's was the first to put that choice onchain. Results: https://t.co/4wZt9Zs156
- The proposal passed, retiring 519,300 ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01: Validators voted to permanently retire half of July's acquired tokens from circulation. The 519,300 ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 now sits in ZIGChain's public retirement wallet, out of circulating supply.
- @NawaFinance's USDT Vault went live on Ethereum: Structured and distributed by ZIG Markets, the vault opens institutional-grade, asset-backed yield to a wider range of stablecoin holders.
- A live transparency dashboard for Tokenomics 2.0: One of our community members, @shozabrazaa, built a live dashboard tracking every acquisition, vote, and retirement in real time. 🔗 https://t.co/b6tJYpHhTC
Every token retired, every vault launched, every governance vote: the mechanics that make ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 scarcer and more useful are running.
🎙️ Leadership Spotlight
- @ARafayGadit joined Crypto Coin Show: Our co-founder sat down with @CryptoCoinShow to discuss why tokenization alone isn't enough, how ZIGChain built the full stack for onchain finance, the role of revenue-backed ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 acquisitions under Tokenomics 2.0, private credit, and the infrastructure needed to bring real-world finance onchain. 🔗 https://t.co/5IYXJ5VqtL
Riding this momentum with us? Spread it with an RT. 💙
The first Tokenomics 2.0 governance proposal is now live on ZIGChain Hub.
July's acquisition is complete: 1,038,600 ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 acquired with ZIG Markets revenue. Half of the acquired ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01, 519,300, now goes through a proposal, and ZIGChain's validators decide its outcome: retire it from circulation or allocate it to the pool that funds ecosystem growth.
Over $313 billion sits in stablecoins today. That’s an enormous pool of capital, but for most holders it’s sitting idle, earning nothing.
The opportunity is turning those dormant balances into productive capital through curated vaults backed by tokenized assets and real investment strategies.
We’re already seeing that play out on our network, where a significant share of our TVL is stablecoins allocated across vaults rather than sitting on the sidelines.
Great to see @Valdora_finance building directly into this trend.
Starting today, ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 enters a new era.
Tokenomics 2.0 changes how every institutional partnership, every integration, every product, every market we open, and every revenue line we build connects back to ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 That connection is as much an internal commitment to how we build as it is anything the market will see from the outside.
ZIGChain, ZIG Markets, ecosystem growth, and network value now move in the same direction, by design, and this is where that starts.
For me, this is one of the most important foundations we have put in place, and today we begin acquiring ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01
The journey starts now.
Funfact - TVL on @ZIGChain is up 350% in 7 weeks. Majority of this is ethereum:0xa0b86991c6218b36c1d19d4a2e9eb0ce3606eb48, directed towards tokenized credit vaults on @NawaFinance & @Valdora_finance!
ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 is the meta asset of onchain finance because it serves t both originators & investors, and its JUST getting started 🚀
ZIGChain has now crossed $50M in TVL.
What’s interesting is that 66% of that capital is in stablecoins, with over $33M in USDC deployed across yield products in the ecosystem.
Users aren’t just holding assets here. They’re actively putting capital to work. And this is only the beginning of what the ecosystem can support.
Two strong RWA Players are partnering together: $ZIG and ONDO.
I'm a huge fan of ONDO, and I'm pleased to see that @zigchain has chosen to partner with Ondo Finance.
Aside from that, it's up 100% since the lows earlier in the year, showing how resilient the chain is despite the current market conditions.
Tokenized stocks & ETFs are the future of the equity markets, and they're coming on-chain.
Through this partnership, Zigchain aims to provide tokenized US Stocks and ETFs to users across Europe, the Middle East, and South Asia.
This integration will deepen Zigchain's RWA stack alongside Valora's liquid RWA Vaults and Beehive's tokenized SME private credit, thereby enhancing the underlying chain's overall product set.
More products mean more business, which means more buybacks.
Additionally, there's a strong buyback campaign for the token $ZIG starting July 1st, with 500 million in buybacks.
Their FDV:TVL ratio is only 2.5x, which makes it a bargain to invest in this one, given the fact that many other Layer 1s and protocols are traded at significantly higher valuations.
Definitely one of the assets to monitor!
A decade ago, blockchain was asking for permission. Today, the world's largest investors are figuring out how to bring capital onchain.
Heading to @SuperReturn International in Berlin with one goal: Make sure @ZIGChain is at the center of that transition & ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 becomes one of the biggest beneficiaries of capital moving onchain.
The future of finance won't happen offchain.
See you in Berlin 🇩🇪
So right here is the play everyone will pretend was “obvious” later.
Market getting destroyed and somehow $ZIG still refuses to break down.
That should tell you something.
I’m telling you right now people are still massively underestimating how violent this repricing can get once momentum fully kicks in.
Bookmark this tweet.
Will come back to it when $ZIG is trading way higher and melting many faces!
@CryptoWizardd knows it 💙
ZM, just a Sunday reminder: 38 days to go for us to start buying 500,000,000 ethereum:0xb2617246d0c6c0087f18703d576831899ca94f01 from market, using the real revenue generated through AI-Infra powering institutional onchain finance
✌️
my most conservative wave count for $ZIG.
underpromise, overdeliver.
a lot of people are still sidelined, waiting for it to go back to the lows.
good luck habibis.
greed works both ways. some are greedy at the top, others get greedy waiting for a perfect entry that never comes.
PA has been very bullish since the bottom was formed. with buybacks starting july 1st, a completely new dynamic enters the chart.
flip 6.1 cents and i genuinely believe 10 cents is next.
btc is currently shitting the bed and yes, the market can still give us some difficult months. but we already saw in 2024 and 2025 that $ZIG can hold stronger than most when the entire market bleeds.
post summit, $ZIG is stronger than ever.
more TVL is flowing on-chain every day.
adoption is not a theory anymore.
it’s happening.
soon, people all over the world will be earning yield on their stables with insane APRs, without even realizing it’s flowing through zigchain.
that’s where the real tvl explosion happens.
$ZIG looks ready for the next leg up here.
This whole zone feels like preparation for a bigger move.
And fundamentally it keeps getting better:
TVL keeps climbing
Revenue model is growing
$ZIG buybacks start July 1st
That’s the kind of combo the market eventually notices. 👀
