<a href="https://zoth.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Zoth</a>, a Defi Yield infrastructure company, has successfully extended its raise to $4 million strategic round to spearhead the launch of its innovative <a href="https://app.zoth.io/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Tokenized Liquid Note</a>, comprised of secure low-risk assets like US Treasury Bills (T-Bills) and top-rated corporate bonds from top global financial institutions. 
It’s a major step in Zoth’s mission to bring permissioned Real World Assets (RWAs) and permissionless DeFi products to the blockchain. 
The funding round attracted prominent investors, including Taisu Ventures, G20, Fat Cat Ventures, GemHead Capital, Foundership Ventures, DCI Capital, Absolute Digital VC, Gydra Capital, and AstraX Capital. Zoth also garnered support from top financial and crypto angels from companies like Coinbase and Hedera, alongside a grant from Ripple’s XRPL Foundation. 
Founded in January 2023 by Pritam Dutta and Koushik Bhargav, Zoth aims to become a chain-agnostic crypto yield layer, providing institutional and accredited investors with access to secure financial products onchain. 
<blockquote>
 “We’re thrilled to close this strategic funding round and pursue new opportunities at Zoth. We’re building a one-stop crypto yield layer solution for sustainable yield by harnessing onchain permissioned RWAs and permissionless DeFi fixed-yield products. We believe the biggest opportunities in the crypto-asset industry lie within these sectors, and this strategic round shows investor confidence in this space,” said Pritam Dutta, Founder &amp; CEO of Zoth.
</blockquote> 
To date, Zoth has deployed $13 million in private credit, with over $100 million originated and $200 million in the pipeline. The company is building a regulated ecosystem for innovative products, starting with Zoth-Fi, which provides stablecoin-based financial solutions to institutions and qualified investors across more than eight blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, and XDC. Additionally, Zoth is integrating multichain RWAs into new ecosystems such as Bitcoin via Bitlayer. 
<blockquote>
 Takashi Hayashida, Managing Partner at Taisu Ventures commented, “We’re excited to support Zoth’s innovative vision for Real World Assets, bridging TradFi and DeFi. At Taisu Ventures, we are bullish on RWAs and Zoth’s goal to be the go-to solution for building a yield layer in crypto. Their strategic approach and execution give us confidence in their ability to deliver sustainable fixed-income yields. We’re thrilled to back a project with such compelling vision and capability.”
