DigiFT Partners with Peakwater and Pilgrim Partners Asia to Launch BTC-Focused Volatility Fund

New fund combines Bitcoin market exposure with systematic volatility strategy; available to eligible investors via regulated tokenization infrastructure.

Singapore, October 22, 2025 — DigiFT, a regulated digital asset exchange for institutional-grade tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), Pilgrim Partners Asia, and Peakwater Volatility Alpha today announced the launch of the Peakwater BTC Enhance Fund, tokenized as pEAK.BTC on the DigiFT platform.

The Peakwater BTC Enhance Fund is managed by Pilgrim Partners Asia, a MAS-licensed fund manager with over 16 years of investment management experience and more than US $1 billion in assets under management. The fund combines exposure to Bitcoin—held through regulated instruments such as the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)—with the Peakwater Volatility Alpha strategy, a systematic cross-asset approach to capturing volatility risk premia across traditional and digital markets.

The launch builds on the success of the earlier pEAK token, expanding DigiFT’s “tokenized alpha” category—a new class of institutional-grade RWAs designed to deliver actively managed strategies on-chain. This lineup also includes uMINT, a UBS Asset Management-issued money-market fund token that offers on-chain access to capital preservation and daily income, and iSNR, a tokenized note that provides on-chain exposure to institutional private credit managed by Invesco.

Turning Volatility into Opportunity

The launch comes amid renewed volatility in digital-asset markets, underscoring rising demand for strategies that can balance opportunity with discipline. The Peakwater BTC Enhance Fund seeks to provide exposure to Bitcoin’s long-term market potential while integrating a systematic volatility component aimed at delivering differentiated performance across cycles.

The launch reflects the growing appetite among accredited investors for structured, risk-managed access to digital assets through regulated channels. While Bitcoin has become established as a “digital gold” within institutional portfolios, its inherent volatility continues to present allocation challenges. At the same time, allocators are seeking uncorrelated return streams that can complement traditional assets. By pairing Bitcoin exposure through a regulated ETF with the Peakwater Volatility Alpha’s strategy, pEAK.BTC addresses this gap—offering a disciplined, data-driven approach to digital-asset participation under institutional governance standards.

The initiative builds on DigiFT and Pilgrim Partners Asia’s shared effort to translate institutional investment strategies into the on-chain environment—enhancing market efficiency, transparency, and accessibility for accredited investors.

“Institutional investors are increasingly looking beyond simple exposure to Bitcoin,” said Henry Zhang, Founder & CEO, DigiFT. “By combining a regulated ETF-based structure with an active volatility overlay, the Peakwater BTC Enhance Fund demonstrates how tokenisation can bring sophisticated, risk-managed strategies on-chain in a compliant way.”

“Bitcoin has matured into a recognized component of institutional portfolios. Our collaboration with DigiFT extends the Peakwater volatility strategy to this asset class. The aim is to give accredited investors a structured avenue to access a better risk adjusted BTC exposure,” said Albert Ee, CEO of Pilgrim Partners Asia

David Lau, Portfolio Manager of Peakwater, added: “Volatility is an intrinsic feature of modern markets. This fund is designed to approach it systematically—turning market dynamics into an opportunity for disciplined strategy execution.”
