Hong Kong, November 20, 2025 – Mu Digital, a Web3 platform bringing Asia’s credit markets onchain, announced a Pre-Seed funding round of US$1.5 million. The round – finalized earlier this year – includes participation from global investors across crypto and traditional financial institutions: UOB Venture Management, CMS Holdings, Signum Capital, Cointelegraph Accelerator and Echo. The company also welcomed notable individual angels from Monad, Cointelegraph, Gauntlet, Yield Guild Games, Kizzy, Clober, Perella Weinberg and Bank of America, among others.

The fundraise reinforces Mu Digital’s position as a category defining real world assets (“RWA”) platform – built to deliver safer, uncorrelated yield backed by the US$20 trillion Asia credit market.

“This investment validates our conviction that tokenized Asia credit will become a foundational yield source for the next generation of DeFi,” said Patrick Hizon, Co-Founder and CEO. “Asia’s fixed income landscape offers structurally higher returns, and we’re bringing that opportunity onchain with institutional discipline.”

What’s next?

Mu Digital will launch on Monad Mainnet on November 24, 2025. The company has launched a Pre-Deposit Program, designed to offer early users access to the highest yield RWA assets and future Mu Digital and Monad ecosystem rewards.

Mu Digital’s product suite includes:

Asia Dollar (AZND): A senior risk tranche product backed by high quality Asia credit instruments, offering 6–7% native yield at launch
muBOND: A junior risk tranche product designed for users seeking enhanced returns from tokenized Asia credit pools, offering up to 15% native yield at launch

Across the Monad ecosystem, users will be able to swap, leverage, speculate, and compound their yield. Mu Digital aims to build a unified landscape of institutional grade DeFi products powered by real economic activity. The roadmap includes scaling credit origination and expanding DeFi integrations.

What makes Mu Digital unique?

Mu Digital is exclusively focused on bringing real world assets from Asia’s US$20 trillion credit markets onchain. No one in crypto has successfully delivered this asset class onchain at scale. These markets consistently deliver yields higher than developed countries’ fixed income (such as the U.S.), creating a structurally superior base for sustainable, uncorrelated risk adjusted returns.

Mu Digital was founded by former investment bankers who saw firsthand how yield products in Asia were reserved for institutions and ultra wealthy investors. The company distinguishes itself through a combination of Wall Street level credit underwriting, onchain transparency, and deep origination capabilities. The goal is delivering institutional grade DeFi products backed by the highest yield RWA assets available today.

By combining rigorous credit selection with DeFi composability, Mu Digital enables everyday users – not just institutions – to access the benefits of tokenized Asia credit with confidence.

Thoughts from Mu Digital’s backers

“CMS is excited to back Mu Digital ahead of their launch on Monad Mainnet. We believe the team’s experience and knowledge of Asia’s credit market will allow them to deliver interesting new yield opportunities on-chain, particularly at a time of growing interest in RWA’s. We have enjoyed working with them to this point and look forward to their upcoming launch.” – CMS Holdings

“Asia’s credit markets represent one of the largest untapped yield opportunities in the world, yet remain inaccessible to most of DeFi. Mu Digital is changing that. Their combination of institutional-grade underwriting, onchain transparency, and thoughtful protocol design sets a new standard for what real world assets should look like. We are proud to support their launch and long-term vision.” – Cointelegraph Accelerator

“We are very excited about Mu Digital’s launch bringing Asian Credit onchain. With nearly $20 trillion in market value trading in Asian Credit, Mu Digital is set to be a prominent force in the space with its innovative products offering investors a highly attractive yield in a regulated manner.” – Signum Capital
