Dubai, January 28, 2026 — DMZ Finance today announced that the QCD Money Market Fund (the “Fund” and units in QCDT), a protected cell of the QCD Open-Ended PCC Limited, has, under the regulatory framework of the Dubai Financial Services Authority (the “DFSA”), formally established a compliant stablecoin-based subscription and redemption settlement mechanism. Subject to applicable regulatory and compliance requirements, qualified investors may now use stablecoins recognized by the DFSA, to subscribe to and redeem fund units.

The launch of this mechanism marks the Fund as the first tokenized money market fund within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) ecosystem to support settlement using approved stablecoins, providing institutional investors with an efficient, transparent, and regulated capital channel between the traditional financial system and on-chain financial infrastructure.

Nathan Ma, Co-founder and Chairman of DMZ Finance, stated:

“Enabling stablecoin settlement within a regulated framework is an important step toward the institutional-scale adoption of tokenized money market funds. By introducing recognized stablecoin subscriptions and redemptions under the DFSA regulatory framework, the Fund not only improves settlement efficiency, but also establishes a clear and replicable infrastructure pathway for the compliant movement of institutional capital between on-chain networks and the traditional financial system.”

The QCD Money Market Fund is the first tokenized money market fund in the Dubai International Financial Centre. Capricorn Fund Managers (DIFC) Limited acts as the Fund Manager, with Qatar National Bank acting as the Investment Manager, custodied by Standard Chartered Bank, with DMZ Finance providing the tokenization architecture, offering qualified investors on-chain asset exposure while meeting regulatory and risk management standards. As stablecoins are increasingly used in institutional cash management, collateral management, and on-chain settlement, tokenized money market funds that support subscriptions and redemptions using stablecoins are gradually becoming important infrastructure connecting traditional financial markets and digital asset markets, providing clear pathways for the following institutional use cases:

● Institutional on-chain cash management

● Compliant yield-generating deployment of stablecoin reserve assets

● Liquidity and collateralized lending activities for exchanges, brokers, and market makers
