SINGAPORE: Blockchain infrastructure firm Zoth said on Tuesday it acquired Neemo Finance, a liquid restaking protocol, in a strategic move to integrate yield-generating services into its growing “StableFi” operating system.
The acquisition, the terms of which were not disclosed, aims to enhance Zoth’s suite of financial products by adding Neemo’s technology for liquid restaking and vault infrastructure. This will allow users of Zoth’s stablecoin, ZeUSD, to access new yield opportunities and improve capital efficiency.
Zoth positions itself as a full-stack operating system at the intersection of stablecoins, decentralized finance (DeFi), and real-world assets (RWAs). The purchase of Neemo is its latest step to build a comprehensive platform for institutions and fintechs.
“This acquisition of Neemo Finance is more than a strategic move; it’s a statement of intent,” said Pritam Dutta, Founder and CEO of Zoth. “We’re expanding the possibilities for stablecoin adoption, yield generation, and institutional-scale utility.”
The deal also provides Zoth with a strategic foothold in Japan through Neemo’s presence on Soneium, a blockchain ecosystem backed by Sony Block Solution. This is seen as a key entry point into Japan’s advanced blockchain market and a gateway to broader institutional partnerships in Asia.
Seiya Chida, Founder and CEO of Neemo Finance, said the partnership with Zoth was a “definitive turning point” that would elevate his team’s work to an institutional scale.
Investors in the space backed the strategic rationale.
“Bringing Neemo into the picture gives Zoth access to real staking infrastructure, which means more stable yield for users and stronger backing for stablecoins worldwide,” said Aly Madhavji, Managing Partner at Blockchain Founders Fund.
Takashi Hayashida, Managing Partner at Taisu Ventures, noted the acquisition “meaningfully expands [Zoth’s] ecosystem” and strengthens its product depth, positioning it for a larger role in the evolving StableFi landscape.
The move follows Zoth’s recent $75 million alliance with Haven1 to drive institutional RWA adoption and a $15 million strategic commitment from Bolts Capital. With Neemo onboard, Zoth aims to create the industry’s first complete StableFi stack, accelerating its ambition to reach a $1 billion market capitalization.
