Zamanat Targets GCC’s $250 Billion SME Financing Gap With Up to $100 Million Tokenized Private Credit Fund

Dubai, UAE, September 10th, 2026, Chainwire

Zamanat Fund CEIC Limited is the company’s first live proof point for regulated fund tokenization on ZIGChain focused on GCC private credit.

Zamanat today announced its sponsorship of Zamanat Fund CEIC Limited (the “Fund”), a DIFC-domiciled tokenized private credit fund with a target size of up to USD 100 million. The Fund targets the GCC’s estimated $250 billion SME financing gap, with only 11 percent of SMEs across the region having access to credit.

Closing a $250 billion structural gap in GCC SME credit

Across the GCC, SMEs are central to economic growth yet remain significantly underserved by traditional financing. In the UAE, SMEs generate more than half of GDP and employ the majority of the private-sector workforce, yet receive less than 10 percent of total bank lending.

The Fund will invest in private credit across the region, directing capital towards strong homegrown companies whose financing needs are not fully met through traditional lending channels. The strategy supports national ambitions to expand SME participation, private-sector growth and access to alternative financing, including priorities set out under Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE Centennial 2071.

“Strong businesses across the GCC still struggle to access growth capital despite sound fundamentals. Zamanat sponsored the Fund to create a credible route between those businesses and institutional capital. With a target size of up to USD 100 million and interests issued as Investment Tokens, it is our first live proof point for bringing GCC private credit into a regulated digital structure for Professional Clients,” said Umair Tariq, Founder and CEO of Zamanat.

Bringing GCC private credit into digital markets

Tokenization expands the infrastructure around traditionally hard-to-access private-market assets without changing the underlying investment or credit profile.

The Fund combines a regional private credit strategy, a DIFC fund structure, institutional administration and digital issuance on ZIGChain. It provides a first live demonstration of how regional private credit can be brought into a DFSA-regulated tokenized structure for Professional Clients.

The Fund is a DFSA-regulated closed-ended fund registered as an Exempt Fund and classified as a Credit Fund. It is managed by Truleum Venture Partners Limited and administered by Apex Group. Fund interests will be issued as ZM1 Investment Tokens on ZIGChain within a regulated, whitelisted environment.

As sponsor, Zamanat brings its regional private credit, investment structuring and institutional partnership expertise to the Fund’s development. Truleum retains responsibility for all regulated fund-management activities.

The ZM1 Investment Token structure provides a blockchain-native ownership and settlement layer within the Fund’s regulated framework. It also allows qualifying investors who meet the DFSA Professional Client criteria to participate alongside institutional investors.

Zamanat is backed by Disrupt.com, a MENA-based, operator-led AI-native venture builder and lead investor in the business.

Building the global market for Digital Shariah Assets

Global Islamic finance assets are projected to reach $9.7 trillion by 2029, yet demand for digital and Shariah-aligned assets is growing faster than the institutional infrastructure connecting them with global capital.

Zamanat continues to build the global market for Digital Shariah Assets. Its wider operating model combines investment structuring, Shariah expertise, regulated partner routes and digital distribution to bring real-world assets to market through traditional and digital channels.

The DIFC-domiciled Fund evidences the regulated fund-tokenization, digital ownership and partner-orchestration capability within that wider build. Zamanat is progressing a separate pipeline of Digital Shariah Assets across private credit, receivables, real estate and other asset classes.

Institutional partnerships

Apex Group acts as Fund Administrator, providing institutional fund administration and controls from the outset.

“Zamanat is supporting the creation of a new category in Digital Assets. Bringing institutional structure and digital distribution together within a DFSA-regulated framework sets the standard for how this market should be built, and this fund shows the model working at institutional scale. We are proud to support the infrastructure behind it, and we look forward to partnering further on the projects Zamanat already has in motion,” said Peter Hughes, Founder & CEO, Apex Group.

The global market for Digital Shariah Assets does not yet exist as an institutional category. Zamanat is building it.

Bybit AI Is Live: One Intelligent Conversational Layer to Redefine Financial Experience

Bybit democratizes access to enterprise-grade AI across trading, account management, and customer service

DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bybit, the world's second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, announced the official launch of Bybit AI, a conversational assistant that unifies the exchange's core services, starting with trading and customer support, within a single chat interface inside the Bybit app.

Bybit AI lets users describe what they need in plain language. The assistant interprets user intent and executes the requested action on the user's behalf, functioning as an intelligent co-pilot for everyday trading and account management.

Chat to Trade: A New Financial Experience

"Bybit AI is an important part of our roadmap for the New Financial Platform," said Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit. "We want to make it easier for users to access the financial services they need in one place. As we continue to develop Bybit AI, users will be able to use it to find and access a wider range of products and services on Bybit. The idea is simple: you tell Bybit AI what you want to do, and it helps you find the right products and services to get it done, like having a team of financial experts right in your pocket."

Bybit AI replaces the fragmented experience of navigating web pages, menus and dashboards with a single, continuous conversation. Instead of hunting for the right tool for each task, from checking a portfolio balance to placing a trade to submitting a support ticket, users simply state their request in natural language and Bybit AI carries out the underlying action within the chat. Bybit built the product architecture on a clear principle: infrastructure should provide the underlying connections, while individual business lines plug into a single interface, so the exchange's many services present themselves to users as one continuous assistant rather than a collection of disconnected products.

Bybit also revealed a roadmap to bring its services together through Open API, connecting trading, earn, loans, card and customer support in a more unified experience. "We are not looking to add another dashboard or bolt on another chatbot," said Rockman Zhang, CTO at Bybit. "The goal is to make it easier for users to find what they need and take action in one place, with a simple interface that brings the right products and services together."

In the initial rollout, Bybit AI is deployed for all users across two main modules:

• One AI assistant for all needs: Bybit AI will cover key features and essential features across Spot, Futures, and Options trading, Bybit Earn, Copy Trading, Trading Bot, Loan, P2P, Bybit Card, Spot X, access to the Rewards Hub, and notification and subscription management.
• Intelligent support: Bybit's customer service gets an upgrade while retaining the human touch, with Bybit AI working alongside professional human agents to optimize user experience. Smarter customer support will be integrated directly into Bybit AI, ensuring customer queries are resolved faster, better, and more effectively.

To deploy Bybit AI, eligible users should first activate the feature, which will create a dedicated Bybit AI sub-account. Bybit approached its flagship AI system on a security-first architecture. The sub-account is isolated from the user's main balance to avoid any potential AI risk, and unlocks instant onboarding with no API key or manual setup required.

Livestream: Bybit AI Demo

Ben Zhou, Co-founder and CEO of Bybit, will officially unveil Bybit AI and demonstrate the game-changing co-pilot on September 9, 2026 at 08:00AM UTC live on Bybit. To sign up for the livestream and see Bybit AI in action, viewers may visit: How it works: Bybit AI Livestream.

Bybit AI reflects Bybit's ambition to position itself as a New Financial Platform built for the AI era, applying artificial intelligence not as an added feature but as the connective layer across trading, wealth management and everyday account activity. The launch marks an early step in a longer roadmap toward AI-native financial services, with Bybit positioning conversational intelligence as core infrastructure.

DBS and Citi Complete First Weekend USD Payment Using Swift Tokenized Deposits

DBS and Citi have completed what they describe as the first successful weekend cross-border USD payment between Singapore and the United States using tokenized deposits on the Swift Digital Ledger. The banks announced the transaction on September 7, after the payment was completed on September 5 between DBS and Citi’s New York office.

The transfer settled in minutes, according to DBS, rather than the industry norm of up to two business days cited for conventional cross-border payments. Its completion during a weekend is the immediate test of whether payment commitments can be made outside normal banking hours in the Singapore–US corridor.

DBS and Citi complete weekend Singapore–US USD payment in minutes

The transaction involved a USD payment between DBS and Citi’s New York office.

DBS said the payment used tokenized deposits on Swift’s Digital Ledger, framing it as an instant, 24/7 cross-border payment capability.

The banks said the transfer was completed on a Saturday and settled in minutes. Conventional international payments can be delayed by operating-hour differences and non-business days, and DBS gave up to two business days as a benchmark for existing cross-border payment processes.

Tokenized deposits extend payment commitments beyond banking hours

Conventional international payments can be delayed by operating-hour differences and non-business days; DBS cited up to two business days as a benchmark for existing cross-border payment processes. Against that backdrop, a Saturday transfer between DBS and Citi was completed in minutes.

That transaction demonstrated that tokenized deposits on Swift’s shared ledger can support always-on payments beyond traditional banking hours and weekend closures, CoinDesk reported.

Citi’s pilot is designed to make payment commitments available around the clock, including when conventional bank operating windows are closed. The weekend transaction therefore offered a live example of the capability, while the tokenized-deposit layer does not replace established settlement infrastructure.

Final settlement remains tied to existing RTGS systems

The pilot does not replace established settlement infrastructure. Its tokenized-deposit layer is intended to make cross-border payment commitments available around the clock, including outside conventional bank operating windows.

Final settlement still runs through existing systems, including real-time gross settlement, according to Citi’s September 2 announcement on live Swift Ledger transactions, which described the Swift ledger pilot as enabling 24/7 payment commitments through tokenized deposits.

Single Zero Only: 6 Crypto Casinos for Roulette Players

There is one rule in roulette worth following absolutely, and it takes four seconds to apply. Count the zeros. If there are two, close the table.

That single habit cuts what single zero roulette costs you by roughly half, and it outperforms every betting system ever devised. Here is the arithmetic and where to find enough single-zero tables to never need the other kind.

Why the Second Zero Costs So Much

Five steps, and the first two do all the work.

1. A European wheel has 37 pockets. Numbers one to thirty-six plus a single zero. A straight-up bet pays 35 to 1 against odds of 36 to 1, and that mismatch is the house edge: roughly 2.70%.

2. An American wheel has 38. It adds a double zero and changes no payout whatsoever. Same 35 to 1 on a straight-up bet, one more pocket to lose to, and the edge rises to roughly 5.26%. You are playing an identical game for nearly twice the price.

3. French rules halve it again on even-money bets. A French table applies either La Partage or En Prison when zero lands, and both bring the even-money edge down to about 1.35%.

4. Expressed as money, the spread is stark. Per $1,000 staked, French roulette costs around $14, European around $27, and American around $53. Nothing else you decide at the table moves your cost by that much.

5. No system changes any of it. Each spin is independent, and the wheel holds no memory, so Martingale, Fibonacci, D'Alembert, and every variant redistribute variance while leaving the edge exactly where the pockets put it.

La Partage and En Prison Are Not the Same Rule

Both produce roughly the same edge, and they behave differently, which matters if you are choosing between French tables.

• La Partage returns half your even-money stake immediately when zero lands. Bet 10 on red, zero hits, you get 5 back, and the round is finished.

• En Prison imprisons the bet instead. Your stake stays on the table for the next spin, and if that spin wins, you receive the stake back with no winnings attached. Lose, and it is gone entirely.

The long-run cost is near identical. The experience is not: La Partage resolves immediately and En Prison ties your money up for another spin with no upside past recovery. Some tables offer one, some the other, and a few offer a choice.

Both apply only to even-money bets. Your straight-up numbers still face the full 2.70%.

Six Platforms With Single-Zero Depth

Ranked on how many single-zero tables are actually available, since one European wheel among twenty American ones is not real choice.

• Dexsport carries more than 50 roulette tables covering European, American and French variants plus dedicated VIP tables with higher limits. Its live content comes from Evolution, Playtech and Ezugi, and three studios is what puts French tables within reach at all, since a single-provider lobby inherits only that provider's range. It also carries American wheels, which is normal and worth saying: the platform stocks the variant, and avoiding it is your decision and not theirs. Non-custodial, with an Anjouan licence lighter than Curacao or Malta.

• Stake runs multiple live studios with branded tables produced alongside providers, giving genuine variant range with custodial balances held between sessions.

• BC.Game offers a substantial live section built over a long Curacao trading record, with in-house originals sitting alongside licensed tables.

• Cloudbet has traded since 2013 with its company named on the licence and higher table limits than most, though with fewer novelty variants.

• Vave provides standard European and American coverage with multi-coin funding and thinner French availability.

• Mega Dice draws on around 50 providers for the wider catalogue with Telegram-native access, and a live section narrower than its slot library implies.

Studio count predicts variant availability better than a raw table number, which is why what a lobby actually carries matters more than how many tables it advertises.

The Trap in the Lobby

One practical warning, because lobby design frequently works against this.

American and single-zero tables sit side by side with no visual difference at thumbnail size. Both show a wheel, both show a dealer, and the pocket count is not in the tile. A player scrolling for an open seat will land on whichever loads first, and roughly half the time that is the expensive one.

Worse, casinos often attach American rules to tables marketed on other features, so a table promoted for its host or its interface can quietly be the 5.26% version.

Open the table, look at the wheel, count the zeros. On a platform like Dexsport with more than fifty tables in the section, that check is the only thing standing between a 1.35% seat and a 5.26% one.

Then check whether La Partage or En Prison applies, since that is the difference between 2.70% and 1.35% on your even-money bets, and table rules vary between platforms more than the game names suggest.

One Habit, Repeated

Roulette is a simple game with a wide price range, and the range is entirely visible before you bet.

• Single zero always, at every table, without exception

• French, where you can get it, since La Partage or En Prison halves the even-money edge

• Remember straight-up numbers still cost 2.70% wherever you sit, so the even-money rules are where the savings live

Dexsport, Stake, and BC.Game all carry enough tables that you never need to settle for a double-zero wheel.

Confirm what is legal where you live, keep stakes within a set budget, and play only if you are of legal age, since KYC or AML checks may apply. Responsible gambling applies at the French table too, because 1.35% of a large enough turnover is still a steady transfer in one direction.

No App Required: 5 Crypto Casinos That Run in a Browser

Search for a crypto casino app and you will mostly find a browser casino instead. That absence is not laziness or cost-cutting, and the reason sits in two published policy documents that make the app impossible before anyone writes a line of code.

Here is what those rules say, what browser play actually costs you, and where it works well.

The Two Rules That Close the Door

Both stores publish their position, and both requirements are the same shape.

App Store 5.3.4 requires real-money gaming apps to hold the necessary licensing and permissions in each location where the app is used, to apply geo-restriction to those locations, and to be free to download. Apple separately expects apps in highly regulated fields to be submitted by the legal entity actually providing the service, not a developer acting on its behalf.

Google Play gambling policy runs a country allowance list and requires real-money gambling apps to block access from any territory not covered by the developer's licence, to be free instead of paid, to avoid Play in-app billing, to carry an Adult Only or equivalent rating, and to display responsible gambling information. It also prohibits companion apps that assist with wagering, payouts or odds tracking.

The phrase doing the work in both is per territory. An offshore licence authorises an operator broadly under one regime. It is not a set of national licences covering each market the app would reach, which is what the guideline demands.

So an Anjouan or Curacao licensed casino cannot satisfy 5.3.4 by trying harder. The requirement asks for something the licensing model does not produce.

The wrapper route is closed too. Apple rejects apps that are functionally equivalent to a website without offering native value, so packaging a mobile site as an app does not work either.

Trading Notifications for Currency

Worth being even-handed, since browser play is a genuine trade and not a pure consolation.

You lose push notifications, home-screen presence unless you bookmark deliberately, biometric unlock in most cases, and the small conveniences of a native app that remembers you.

What you gain is no download, no storage consumed, no update cycle and therefore no version lag. Whatever the operator shipped this morning is what you are using, and there is no app review queue sitting between a fix and your device.

For most players the balance lands somewhere reasonable. For anyone who plays primarily on a phone and values notifications, it is a real limitation worth knowing before signing up.

Progressive Web Apps Sit in the Middle

There is a third option that most crypto casinos have not adopted and some have.

A Progressive Web App is a web product packaged with a service worker, a web app manifest and an HTTPS origin, which lets you add it to your home screen so it behaves much like a native app. It bypasses both stores entirely, so the licensing question never arises.

You get the icon and a more app-like experience. You still do not get the full native feature set, and you have to know the option exists, since most operators do not advertise it.

Five Platforms Built for the Browser

Ranked on how well the mobile web experience actually holds up.

1. Dexsport

Dexsport runs entirely in the browser on both iOS and Android, with no downloadable app at all.

That is the honest framing, not a feature claim: it is browser-only because the licensing model makes it so, and the platform is built around that instead of apologising for it.

Sign-in works through a wallet, an email address or Telegram, and the Telegram route in particular sidesteps the awkward mobile wallet handoff that browser-based Web3 usually involves.

The platform is non-custodial, so settled funds return to a wallet you hold, and it operates under an Anjouan licence, lighter than Curacao or Malta, with restricted territories covering the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia.

2. Mega Dice

Telegram-native by design, which is a different answer to the same problem.

Instead of a mobile browser, the product lives inside a messaging client you already have open, with around 50 providers behind the catalogue. Balances are custodial and held between sessions.

3. Stake

A large product with a polished mobile web experience and, in some markets, a native app where local licensing permits it.

That split is instructive: where an operator holds market-specific licences, the app becomes possible. Elsewhere it does not. Balances are custodial.

4. BC.Game

A substantial catalogue delivered through mobile web, built over a long Curacao trading record with wide coin support at the cashier.

The lobby is heavy, which is the main practical consideration on a slower connection.

5. Cloudbet

Operating since 2013 with its company named on the licence, and a mobile web experience oriented toward larger positions.

Fewer novelty features, which keeps the mobile interface lighter than most.

Two Checks on Mobile Web

Two things, and they take a minute.

• Open the lobby on your actual phone before depositing, since a catalogue that renders well on desktop can be unwieldy on a small screen and the difference is invisible from a review

• Try the sign-in route you intend to use, because wallet connection inside a mobile browser is the least dependable step in the process and finding that out before you fund an account saves a frustrating first attempt

Live game breadth varies between platforms and so does how well those tables behave on mobile, which is worth testing instead of assuming. Licensing and withdrawal handling matter more than either.

Confirm what is legal where you live, keep stakes within a set budget, and play only if you are of legal age, since KYC or AML checks may apply.

Responsible gambling has a browser dimension worth noting: a site you have to navigate to deliberately sits slightly further away than an icon on a home screen, and that small friction is occasionally useful.

Geoblocking, VPNs, and How Crypto Casinos Still Find Out

Most disputes between a player and a casino have two sides. This one does not.

A player who signs up from a restricted country has committed a terms breach against the agreement they accepted at registration, and every consequence that follows is one the terms already described. 

It is worth understanding why operators enforce this so firmly, and what the detection actually rests on.

The Lists Exist to Protect a Licence

A gambling licence is not global permission. It authorises an operator to serve specific markets, and it carries obligations attached to those markets.

Serving a prohibited territory puts the licence itself at risk. That is the whole mechanism: an operator letting restricted players through is not being generous; it is exposing the asset its entire business depends on.

Enforcement is self-interest, not paperwork, which is why it tends to be thorough instead of nominal.

Some exclusions come from the licence conditions. Others come from the operator's own risk appetite, often in markets with aggressive domestic regulators or unresolved legal positions. Either way, the list is published, and licensing regimes differ substantially in which territories they permit.

Signals Operators Assemble

Detection is layered, and no single signal carries it.

1. Network origin. The connecting address is checked against geolocation data, and commercial datasets flag ranges belonging to data centres, hosting providers and known proxy infrastructure. Residential traffic and infrastructure traffic look different at this level.

2. Document and account mismatch. Verification documents carry a country. So does a name, an address, a phone number and often a payment method. When those disagree with each other or with the connection, the disagreement is the signal, and it does not require any single check to fail.

3. Device and locale signals. A browser reports a timezone, a language and a system configuration. These are routine diagnostics, not anything exotic, and they form part of the picture an operator assembles.

4. Withdrawal review is where it lands. This is the one that matters most in practice. Deposits are frictionless almost everywhere. Withdrawals trigger enhanced review, and that review is where account history, documentation and origin get examined together instead of in isolation.

The pattern across all four is worth stating plainly: an operator does not need certainty at signup. It needs a defensible position before releasing funds, and it has every incentive to look properly at exactly that moment.

Consequences Are Not Negotiable

Here is why this differs from every other casino dispute.

Terms almost universally permit account closure and forfeiture of the balance where a territory restriction has been breached. That clause is not obscure and it is not unusual, and a player who accepted the terms has agreed to it.

More importantly, there is no route of appeal. The operator's regulator has jurisdiction over the markets the licence covers.

A player in a territory the licence never included sits outside that framework entirely, so the complaint body that would otherwise hear a dispute has nothing to hear. The dispute resolution you would rely on in any other disagreement does not extend to you.

That is the asymmetry. In most casino complaints, a player has a position worth arguing. Here the player has already conceded the point, in writing, before depositing.

Check Before, Not After

The practical instruction is short because the topic does not reward complexity.

Find the list of restricted territories before you fund anything. It sits in the terms or a help section at any legitimate operator, and reading it takes a minute.

Dexsport publishes its list openly, covering the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia among others, which between them account for a large share of English-speaking players.

Publishing that list clearly is itself a signal worth noticing:

• A published, specific list suggests an operator that documents its terms properly

• No list at all suggests either carelessness or an operator that would rather you did not check

• A list buried three clicks deep tells you how the rest of the terms are likely handled

The warning signs tend to cluster, and this is one of the earliest visible ones.

If your country appears on a platform's list, the platform is not for you. That is the entire answer, and no amount of technical cleverness changes what the terms say or restores a complaint route that never existed.

The platform is non-custodial and operates under an Anjouan licence, lighter than Curacao or Malta, and its territory restrictions apply the same way any operator's do.

Reading the List First

Territory rules are among the few casino terms with no grey area:

• A licence covers certain markets, and only those

• An operator enforces the boundary to protect the licence, which makes enforcement consistent

• A player outside it has no standing, because the complaint body serves the licensed territories

Read the list first. Everything downstream of that decision depends on it.

Confirm what is legal where you live, keep stakes within a set budget, and play only if you are of legal age, since KYC or AML checks may apply.

Responsible gambling support is another thing that follows the licence: the tools, the self-exclusion schemes and the helplines are built around the markets an operator legitimately serves.

Restricted territory lists and terms vary by operator and change over time, so confirm current details before registering or depositing.

Nscale Touts $103B Contracted Revenue Ahead of Potential September IPO

Nscale told prospective investors it had approximately $103 billion in total contracted revenue ahead of a potential initial public offering as soon as September 2026, according to investor documents reviewed by The Information and reported by Reuters on September 2. The figure puts a large contracted-capacity backlog at the centre of the AI infrastructure company’s pitch to investors, but it is not formal revenue guidance.

Anthropic agreement reportedly doubled contracted revenue

Nscale’s investor-pitched contracted-revenue figure rose from about $51 billion before the reported Anthropic agreement to roughly $103 billion afterward, a change that the agreement helped drive, according to The Information.

West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey’s office acknowledged reports on August 27 of an approximately $45 billion, six-year agreement for Anthropic to obtain AI-computing capacity at Nscale’s West Virginia campus. In its statement, the office called it a reported agreement and did not independently confirm its terms.

The available reports do not set out the full composition of Nscale’s remaining contracted revenue or the terms governing recognition of that revenue.

What the $103 billion figure represents

According to The Information, Nscale’s contracts average 5.7 years, implying about $18 billion in annualized contracted revenue. The figure comes from dividing the aggregate value by the average contract duration and should not be read as a company forecast for annual revenue.

The distinction matters for a prospective listing. Contracted revenue measures the value of agreements over their stated terms, while reported revenue would depend on capacity being delivered and recognised during each accounting period. The investor materials described the figures as illustrative rather than formal revenue guidance.

Nscale has not announced an IPO date in the material reviewed by Reuters. The prospective September 2026 timing reported to investors therefore remains a potential timetable rather than a confirmed market debut.
