Kelp DAO and Laser Digital partner to introduce Ethereum restaking solutions to digital funds for institutional investors

At Kelp, our aim is to remain at the forefront of reimagining liquid restaking.

In this spirit, we’re thrilled to announce a strategic partnership between Kelp DAO and Laser Digital, Nomura Group’s digital asset subsidiary. This partnership lays the foundation for a significant milestone in our journey, introducing restaking solutions to Laser Digital’s current and future digital funds. This makes rsETH — Kelp’s liquid restaked token — the first LRT to be incorporated into a digital fund.

This signals the start of remarkable synergy between traditional financial expertise and contemporary blockchain technology. By integrating Kelp’s liquid restaking solutions into its suite of offerings, Laser Digital is setting a new precedent for institutional investors looking to delve into the ethos of Ethereum.

This initiative aligns with our goals to democratize access to digital asset classes for investors across the board, onboard new users to Ethereum and simplify novel DeFi primitives like restaking.

Laser Digital’s choice of Kelp DAO as their preferred restaking partner underscores a shared commitment to redefine the digital asset management landscape. This partnership seeks to elevate the scope of the digital assets ecosystem and highlights the transformative impact that restaking can have on investment strategies.
