Singapore, Singapore, March 26th, 2025, Chainwire
ZIGChain is strengthening its leadership team with the addition of Dr. Bhaskar Dasgupta as an Advisor for Tokenization & Institutional Expansion. His deep regulatory expertise and experience in institutional finance and financial regulation will support ZIGChain’s mission to advance digital asset adoption and expand its global footprint.
“ZIGChain’s approach to tokenization represents the future of institutional finance, bridging traditional asset classes with blockchain’s efficiency in a way that’s both compliant and scalable. As we see major players like BlackRock enter the tokenization space, ZIGChain is uniquely positioned to capture significant market share by offering immediate, practical utility rather than theoretical benefits. I’m particularly excited about their strategic partnerships in the RWA space, which will accelerate institutional adoption and demonstrate how blockchain can transform wealth generation,” said Dr. Dasgupta.
Dr. Dasgupta brings a distinguished track record in financial regulation, digital assets, and institutional finance. As the former Head of Market Infrastructure, Digital & VC/FinTech at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the award-winning international financial center, he not only contributed to its development but also played a key role in shaping the UAE’s crypto and financial regulations.
He also served as a member of the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) Asset Management Industry Panel, contributing to regulatory frameworks for financial markets. His insights into regulatory frameworks and institutional finance will help ZIGChain build trusted, scalable solutions for tokenization.
“The Middle East has always been a key market for the next wave of crypto adoption, with tokenization playing a crucial role in bridging wealth generation opportunities from TradFi to DeFi. There’s no one better than Dr. Dasgupta, who has been at the forefront of shaping regulations and connecting major institutions to drive this vision forward.” said Abdul Rafay Gadit, Co-Founder of ZigChain.
With senior leadership experience at HSBC, Citigroup, and ABN AMRO, Dr. Dasgupta has led global financial infrastructure, trade finance, and digital banking initiatives. He has also served as a member of the UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), helping shape policies for financial markets.
Beyond his regulatory work, Dr. Dasgupta advises over 100 companies, including asset management firms and private equity/venture capital funds, on institutional crypto adoption and investment strategies. His addition to ZIGChain aligns with their vision to drive institutional engagement in digital assets and build a regulatory-first approach to tokenization.
