VCI Global Ltd. (NASDAQ: VCIG), a diversified global holding company focused on AI & Robotics, Fintech, Cybersecurity, and Capital Market Consultancy, has announced its strategic expansion into digital asset management through the acquisition of V Capital Fund Management Limited. This acquisition grants VCI Global the ability to operate a fully licensed digital asset fund under Malaysia's Labuan jurisdiction, an internationally recognized offshore financial hub. The company plans to launch the VCIG Bitcoin Fund, a USD-dominated investment vehicle offering institutional-grade exposure to Bitcoin. This move aims to provide high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional investors in Asia with a secure, regulated, and tax-efficient entry into digital assets, addressing the current underexposure due to regulatory hurdles and a lack of trusted investment structures.
