Insights

CIMG's $20M crypto fund with iZUMi marks strategic treasury diversification but remains preliminary until definitive agreements are finalized.

CIMG's memorandum of understanding with iZUMi Finance represents a strategic pivot into the digital asset space through a proposed $20 million joint commitment to the Upstarts Fund. This preliminary agreement outlines a three-pronged approach: a DeFi liquidity vault for generating on-chain yield, institutional-grade access to digital asset investments, and a tokenized stock trading service.

What's particularly noteworthy is that this represents one of the first instances of a Nasdaq-listed company directly participating in DeFi liquidity provisioning. The DeFi liquidity vault component aims to generate sustainable yield while deepening liquidity across targeted ecosystems – essentially putting corporate treasury to work in decentralized finance.

The Decentralized Asset Tokenization (DAT) initiative mentioned is technically significant as it suggests creating yield-bearing Bitcoin-based tokens, potentially opening new revenue streams for CIMG. However, investors should recognize several key considerations:

  • This remains a non-binding MOU, not a definitive agreement
  • Regulatory uncertainty in crypto markets creates execution risk
  • The $20 million commitment represents treasury diversification rather than core business transformation

While management frames this as offering regulatory endorsement, brand visibility, and ecosystem growth with yield, the actual implementation timeline and financial impact remain undefined. This move aligns with CEO Alice Wang's stated strategy of diversifying treasury assets and exploring new yield opportunities, but execution will determine whether this becomes a meaningful driver of shareholder value.

BEIJING, Sept. 17, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CIMG Inc. ("CIMG" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: IMG), a business group specializing in digital health and sales development, which utilizes technology and marketing to enhance its partners' sales growth and commercial value, today announced that the company entered into a memorandum of understanding ("MOU") with the intent to collaborate with iZUMi Group Ltd. ("iZUMi Finance") to launch the Upstarts Fund (the "Fund"), an on-chain Crypto fund designed to enable corporations to deploy capital into digital assets through a regulated and transparent framework. CIMG and iZUMi Finance will jointly commit $20 million into the Fund, marking a milestone in bridging corporate finance with the digital asset economy.

The Fund, if formed pursuant to the definitive agreements, may comprise three core components:

  • DeFi liquidity vault — generates sustainable on-chain yield, deepens liquidity across targeted ecosystems and accelerates adoption of DeFi applications.
  • Listed token investment — Provides institutional-grade access for listed companies to invest in high-quality digital-asset opportunities.
  • Tokenized stock trading service— Drives the adoption of on-chain stocks and strengthens liquidity, with the Fund set to scale further to support investments across both traditional stocks and their tokenized versions.

These pillars are intended to highlight the Fund's role in pioneering Decentralized Asset Tokenization (DAT), starting with the first yield-bearing BTC DAT by CIMG and iZUMi Finance.

We believe that the participation of a publicly listed company in the DeFi Liquidity Vault would signal strong compliance alignment and operational transparency. This strengthens governance credibility while amplifying brand narrative and global reach. At the same time,  Fund liquidity is deployed to support the partner ecosystems while generating sustainable yield.

In short, the Company foresees the following advantages of the to-be-formed Fund:

  • Regulatory Endorsement  
  • Brand and Global Visibility
  • Ecosystem Growth with Yield

Both iZUMi Finance and the Company hope that the upcoming partnership would underscore the shared vision of both companies in driving compliant innovation in digital assets.

"We are pleased to partner with CIMG to establish the Upstarts Fund, enhancing market liquidity and advancing institutional participation in digital assets. Going forward, iZUMi Finance aims to serve as a bridge between traditional capital and the digital asset ecosystem —channeling compliant capital from listed companies into high-quality projects and capturing growth opportunities aligned with corporate treasury objectives,"  said Jimmy Yin, Chief Executive Officer of iZUMi Finance.

"At CIMG, we see the Upstarts Fund as a strategic step to diversify treasury assets and capture new yield opportunities. Partnering with iZUMi Finance, a team well regarded for its liquidity expertise, gives us access to digital-asset strategies through a transparent, risk-managed framework that aligns with our institutional standards,"said Alice Wang, Chairwoman and Chief Executive Officer of CIMG.
