Mu Digital, a Web3 platform focused on bringing Asia's credit markets onchain, has announced the successful completion of a US$1.5 million Pre-Seed funding round. This round, finalized earlier this year, saw participation from a diverse group of global investors, including established crypto and traditional financial institutions such as UOB Venture Management, CMS Holdings, Signum Capital, Cointelegraph Accelerator, and Echo. The company also attracted notable individual angel investors from prominent organizations like Monad, Cointelegraph, Gauntlet, Yield Guild Games, Kizzy, Clober, Perella Weinberg, and Bank of America. This significant fundraise underscores Mu Digital's ambition to become a category-defining platform for real-world assets (RWA), aiming to deliver safer, uncorrelated yield derived from Asia's vast US$20 trillion 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.”
Upcoming Launch and Product Suite
Mu Digital is set to launch on the Monad Mainnet on November 24, 2025. To engage early users, the company has introduced a Pre-Deposit Program, offering participants access to high-yield RWA assets and potential future rewards within the Mu Digital and Monad ecosystems.
The platform's initial product offerings include:
- •Asia Dollar (AZND): A senior risk tranche product backed by high-quality Asia credit instruments, expected to offer a native yield of 6–7% at launch.
- •muBOND: A junior risk tranche product designed for users seeking enhanced returns from tokenized Asia credit pools, with an anticipated native yield of up to 15% at launch.
Within the Monad ecosystem, users will be empowered to swap, leverage, speculate, and compound their yield. Mu Digital's overarching goal is to cultivate a unified landscape of institutional-grade DeFi products driven by real economic activity. Future plans include scaling credit origination and expanding DeFi integrations.
Mu Digital's Unique Value Proposition
Mu Digital distinguishes itself through its exclusive focus on bringing real-world assets from Asia's substantial US$20 trillion credit markets onto the blockchain. This asset class has historically been challenging to deliver onchain at scale. These markets consistently provide yields higher than those found in developed countries' fixed income markets, such as the U.S., establishing a structurally superior foundation for sustainable, uncorrelated risk-adjusted returns.
Founded by former investment bankers, Mu Digital emerged from their firsthand experience with how yield products in Asia were predominantly accessible only to institutions and ultra-wealthy investors. The company differentiates itself through a strategic combination of Wall Street-level credit underwriting, onchain transparency, and robust origination capabilities. The core objective is to provide institutional-grade DeFi products backed by the most attractive RWA assets available today.
By merging rigorous credit selection processes with the composability of DeFi, Mu Digital aims to democratize access to the benefits of tokenized Asia credit, making it accessible to everyday users, not just large institutions.
Investor Perspectives
“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
