VCI Global has officially launched the VCIG Bitcoin Fund, a regulated investment vehicle providing institutional and accredited investors in Asia with compliant exposure to Bitcoin. The fund operates under the regulatory supervision of the Labuan Financial Services Authority (LFSA), leveraging Malaysia’s international business hub to offer secure cryptocurrency investment opportunities.
Establishment follows VCI Global’s acquisition of V Capital Fund Management, enabling the fund’s adherence to stringent international anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) standards. Labuan’s favorable tax regime and robust regulatory environment aim to mitigate counterparty risks while enhancing investor confidence through transparent operations.
The fund is structured to reduce Bitcoin’s inherent volatility through professional portfolio management, positioning it as a catalyst for market sophistication in Asia. VCI Global’s strategic initiative bridges traditional finance with digital assets, targeting mainstream Bitcoin adoption across the region’s institutional investment landscape.
