zkMe, has been recognized in a recent report by Deloitte as a technology enabler for the rapidly expanding semi-liquid funds market. The report emphasizes how semi-liquid fund structures are emerging as a powerful bridge between private markets and retail investors. These funds combine access to alternative asset classes, such as private equity and private credit, with periodic liquidity and simplified administration in a market set to grow to over $4 trillion US. Retail has been limited to public equities & fixed-income securities, missing out on the wealth creation opportunities of private markets. As Deloitte notes, the median age of companies at IPO has risen from six years in 1980 to 14 years in 2024, leaving fewer early-stage opportunities for retail participation. Semi-liquid funds provide an answer. With low minimum investment requirements, simplified tax treatment, and redemption windows, they enable retail investors to participate in alternative assets without the capital lockups of traditional private equity funds. While investor appetite is evident, Deloitte stresses that fund managers will need to adapt their operating models to fully realize this opportunity. In particular, the need to ensure compliance & transparency to satisfy regulators while protecting investor data is highlighted. The role of decentralized identity solutions is cited as a critical lever. The report identifies zkMe's decentralized identity technology as a key enabler for Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) compliance that protects user privacy. Unlike traditional identity verification methods that require storage of sensitive customer information, zkMe leverages zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs) to confirm investor eligibility without exposing or retaining personal data. This means semi-liquid fund managers can meet stringent regulatory requirements while reducing their liability footprint, strengthening investor trust, & increase liquidity by offering services onchain. Trust remains a critical barrier for retail investors entering alternative assets. Deloitte cites survey data showing that nearly half of retail respondents would be more likely to invest in semi-liquid funds if backed by established brands. As emerging players seek to gain credibility, leveraging trusted technology providers becomes equally important. By integrating zkMe’s #zkKYC solution, investment managers can assure both regulators and investors that the highest standards of data protection are in place. This not only reduces reputational and operational risk but also supports broader adoption of semi-liquid funds as a mainstream investment vehicle.

Last month, I announced that zkMe had crossed 1.7 million unique user credential attestations and had had its first 3-month period of break-even ARR. Today, I'm thrilled to share that we've just surpassed 2.5 million users! The period from August 15th to September 12th was, by far, our most successful four weeks yet. +878k users +52% MoM growth It feels surreal; this sudden growth was completely unexpected. We've been working on several strategic initiatives, including: + New ecosystems  (e.g., Midnight, Mandala Chain Foundation, Moca Network) + New use cases  (e.g., #zkKYC for secondary trades of #Stablecoins -> see: https://lnkd.in/dyMyV3Px) + New credentials  (e.g., #zkProof-of-Residence) + New tech capabilities  (e.g., native #zkTLS) However, this growth spurt occurred before any of these initiatives could realistically bear fruit. Two years in, I'm more optimistic than ever about what comes next. I still enjoy every day spent working to make decentralized identity primitives the catalyst for a decentralized finance revolution, and that's all I can ask for. There's much more to come from zkMe in the next few months. I hope you're following us to be the first to know. Even if these new initiatives don't create the immediate growth we hope for, and we face another dry spell like last summer, that's okay. We're in this for the long term. For now, seeing an adoption graph that looks like it might be going exponential is incredibly satisfying. Thank you all for your continued support!

Why zkTLS and zkKYC Are Redefining Traditional Finance TL;DR: Traditional finance is slow, intrusive, and risky: users share sensitive data, and businesses face high compliance costs and operational inefficiency. zkMe’s #zkTLS and #zkKYC solutions let users prove identity and regulatory compliance without exposing personal or financial details. Zero-knowledge proofs enable fast, privacy-preserving verification across Web3 platforms—reducing fraud, lowering costs, and meeting global KYC/AML requirements. Businesses can comply with regulators while maintaining #decentralization, privacy, and security; verified #credentials are reusable across multiple platforms. Introduction Imagine trying to enter an exclusive investment club that demands your entire financial history—just to check if you’re allowed in. Traditional finance often works like this: slow, intrusive, and risky. Users share mountains of personal data, while businesses face hidden costs, from staff hours to #compliance penalties. Enter zkMe, with zkTLS and zkKYC solutions that let you prove your identity and compliance without exposing your secrets—making finance faster, safer, and smarter.

Introducing zkMe's Proof of Location (zkPoL): Secure and Private Location Verification for Web3 For Web3 projects and DeFi protocols operating across multiple jurisdictions, verifying user location for regulatory compliance is not just a business requirement — it's a legal necessity. However, traditional location verification processes create significant challenges for both platforms and users. They often require collecting and storing precise geolocation data and personal information, exposing both parties to substantial risks such as privacy breaches, surveillance concerns, and regulatory complications. zkMe's Proof of Location (PoL) is a zero-knowledge solution that allows users to prove their presence at a specific location without revealing exact coordinates or personal information. This powerful tool enables location-based services and compliance while preserving user privacy. Read more:https://lnkd.in/gSgpUTzY
