DigiFT and Pilgrim Partners Asia Launch First Institutional-Grade Tokenized Volatility Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From stability to yield to alpha: pEAK expands DigiFT\u2019s institutional RWA suite with an actively managed volatility return strategy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singapore, June 19, 2025<\/strong> \u2014 DigiFT, a regulated exchange for institutional-grade, tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), has partnered with Pilgrim Partners Asia to tokenize Peakwater Volatility Alpha (Peakwater Fund)<\/strong> as the pEAK <\/em>token\u2014bringing a first-of-its kind regulated, institutional-grade cross-asset volatility return strategy on-chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Peakwater 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. This fund is among its latest strategies\u2014focused on systematically capturing volatility risk premia across traditional and digital markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, with the launch of pEAK<\/em>, DigiFT is unlocking tokenized access to this active, absolute return strategy via fully compliant infrastructure. Accredited and institutional investors can access the strategy through a digital-native format\u2014fully integrated with on-chain portfolio workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

pEAK<\/em><\/strong>: Capturing Volatility Alpha On-Chain<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

pEAK<\/em> targets returns through systematic relative value and arbitrage strategies across equities, fixed income, and digital asset proxies such as Bitcoin ETFs (IBIT), Bitcoin Index (CBTX), Coinbase (COIN), and MicroStrategy (MSTR). With daily risk monitoring and strict controls, the strategy is built to deliver uncorrelated performance while preserving discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What sets pEAK<\/em> apart is its meaningful allocation to digital asset derivative volatility\u2014a structurally rich and underexploited alpha source. By using regulated, liquid instruments that track crypto market dynamics, the fund provides institutional investors with indirect exposure to digital asset volatility\u2014without the custody, compliance, or operational risks of holding crypto directly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs tokenized finance matures, the next frontier is bringing intelligent, risk-managed return strategies on-chain,\u201d said DigiFT \u521b\u59cb\u4eba\u517c CEO Henry Zhang<\/strong>. \u201cpEAK<\/em> brings that to life\u2014bridging institutional volatility investing with the accessibility and composability of blockchain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It expands DigiFT\u2019s portfolio of institutional-grade RWA offerings, which includes uMINT<\/em><\/strong>, a UBS Asset Management-issued money market fund token<\/a> offering on-chain access to capital preservation and daily income, and iSNR<\/em><\/strong>, a tokenized note that delivers on-chain exposure to institutional private credit<\/a> by tracking the performance of a senior loan strategy managed by Invesco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Peakwater Volatility Alpha Fund was designed to stay nimble across volatility cycles\u2014whether it\u2019s macro-driven equity swings or digital asset repricing events,\u201d said David Lau, Portfolio Manager of the Peakwater Fund, Pilgrim Partners Asia<\/strong>. \u201cPartnering with DigiFT allows us to deliver this strategy to a new generation of allocators who value flexibility, transparency, and uncorrelated returns.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
