The holder count kept climbing this week.
Holder growth is the number access work moves, and access is what kept shipping: new chains, new routes in.
RWAs recently became Avalanche’s largest asset category by TVL, according to @DefiLlama.
Now @NYLIManagement is bringing $HYB, its first tokenized strategy, to the network.
A good example of asset managers expanding into markets where demand for tokenized assets is already showing up in the data.

BREAKING: $807B New York Life Investment Management is bringing its first tokenized fund to Avalanche
Through Centrifuge, HYB brings NYLIM’s U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Strategy onchain, giving eligible investors access to institutional-grade credit directly on Avalanche.
The fund opens up an entirely new corner of traditional credit markets on Avalanche, with an actively managed portfolio of high-yield U.S. corporate bonds now accessible onchain.

Multi-chain availability and cross-chain access are two different problems.
Issuance solves the first: issuers on Centrifuge can deploy where demand and liquidity are taking shape. Routing solves the second: through @lifiprotocol, capital can start from any supported asset on any connected network, with the swaps, bridging, and routing into a Centrifuge asset handled in one flow.
Every app, chain, and liquidity source @lifiprotocol adds creates another place Centrifuge assets can be reached, without requiring another direct integration.
How it works across distribution, access, and liquidity:

Building for composability from day one means assets do more than sit onchain. They move, get borrowed against, and work across DeFi.
More than $45M of tokenized funds and stocks issued through Centrifuge have now been deposited into DeFi venues
DeFi integrations allow holders to earn yield on, trade, or borrow against their assets
This can increase demand to mint more assets & grow Centrifuge’s onchain AUM

Top U.S. Global Asset Manager Brings Tokenized High-Yield Bond Fund on Avalanche
NY Life Investment Management (@NYLIManagement), which manages $807 billion worth of assets, announces the on-chain launch of its U.S. High Yield Corporate Bond Strategy using the @Centrifuge protocol.
The fund, symbolized by HYB, gives eligible users access to an actively managed corporate credit strategy.
This increases the scope of RWA products beyond Treasury and short-duration securities traditionally available in the tokenization space.

Eventually, tokenized assets will just be called assets.
Bhaji says she agrees with Andy that it's time to drop the term RWA.
"I love it. I've always hated the term RWA."
"But everybody understands it, everybody knows it."
"The reality is, when we're successful as an industry, there's no TradFi, there's no DeFi, there's no real world assets, there's no crypto assets. It's just finance and it's just assets."

BREAKING: Aave to launch specialized RWA lending market on Avalanche
Aave’s new RWA Hub will allow institutions to use tokenized financial assets as collateral to borrow stablecoins without selling their underlying positions.
At the center of the market will be Tether’s USAT, serving as a primary source of dollar liquidity and one of its first major institutional use cases.
Aave V4 has already attracted $20M+ in deposits on Avalanche since launching just two months ago. The RWA Hub now extends that infrastructure into tokenized financial markets, where assets can be financed, borrowed against, and put to work onchain.

@centrifuge is a day one @arc partner
Tokenization looks new. The work behind it started 9 years ago.
@itsbhaji for @monad on Centrifuge's road from DeFi's earliest days to the largest asset managers in the world.
Centrifuge is building the fixed-income market on @Arc from day one.
Alongside @JHIAdvisors and @NYLIManagement, $JTRSY, $JAAA and $HYB bring Treasuries, AAA CLOs and high-yield bonds at launch.
Tokenized assets will grow where deep liquidity meets broad DeFi utility.

$103.6M in DEX volume on Base in 90 days makes $deSPXA the chain's second most traded stock token.
Every other name near the top is a single stock. $deSPXA is S&P 500 index exposure.
Index products dominate offchain equity markets. Now they're growing onchain.

NVDAc generated $159.9M in DEX trading volume on Base over the past 90 days, making it the most traded stock token on the chain
deSPXA ranked second with $103.6M, followed by GOOGLc with $61.9M

If you’re building an onchain vault, your liquidity shouldn’t be constrained.
$JTRSY has a live path to instant liquidity. USDC on demand, while the underlying fund settles on its normal timeline.
Today, a new transaction tapped that liquidity.
Tokenized treasuries with liquidity available when it’s needed.

Tokenized real-world assets are now the largest asset category on Avalanche, and that happened with only a handful of issuers live.
Early market, few products, already the biggest category on the chain. RWAs on @avax are just getting started.

Total RWA value across @avax just crossed $1.05B, tracked across 9 protocols on @DefiLlama since September 2024.
RWAs account for the largest category by value on Avalanche, ahead of CEX holdings at $505M.
@Blackrock's $BUIDL alone accounts for over half, while @centrifuge and @opentrade_io make up nearly all the rest.

A leveraged strategy on tokenized credit used to mean dozens of manual transactions. With @labs_compass, the user signs once and the infrastructure handles the rest.
That's what composable assets are: building blocks for more complex strategies, abstracted into simple products.

We put @centrifuge's $deJAAA on a loop. deJAAA is a token that gives exposure to AAA-rated credit that already earns yield. A yield-bearing RWA can work harder, so we looped it on @eulerfinance: deposit, borrow, swap, repeat.
92 transfers bundled into 1, for about 5 cents of gas. 🔂
The user signs once. We never touch the assets.

Coinbase's tokenized stocks launched on @base weeks ago and already lead the category on volume.
New issuers are growing the whole market. $deSPXA, S&P 500 index exposure, has traded there since April, its secondary market running alongside. More pairs and volume should follow.

Stock tokens issued by Coinbase generated $334.1M in DEX trading volume on Base over the past 90 days
Centrifuge ranked second with $103.6M, followed by st0x with $32.8M
This is a great use case:
Janus, who currently has three tokenized funds and $1.5B in AUM with Centrifuge, is now building a vault strategy on top of those funds to create custom portfolios.
The client is SMT, who manages loyalty programs for brands and organizations including FIFA, the Olympics, and Samsung. Janus will manage the reserve onchain, while the end user interacts only with the loyalty program.
It’s a great example of:
- Investment portfolio vaults
- Vaults + tokenization stack
- Onchain yields for offchain users

RWAs are becoming the base assets of onchain strategies: liquidity buffers in vaults, stablecoin reserves, looping collateral.
@itsbhaji named these as expectations at Consensus Miami in May. Four months later, every one of them is live.

Liquidity changes what tokenized funds can do onchain.
KPK’s new vault on @Symbioticfi Liquid Lane gives holders of $JTRSY and $JAAA a path to instant USDC liquidity, ahead of the underlying fund settlement.
Another step toward making institutional assets work at DeFi speed.

New vault: instant liquidity for early RWA exit.
Tokenised RWAs settle on the issuer's clock, not the holder's, often well past T+0. KPK's new vault on @symbioticfi lets holders exit into USDC on demand, ahead of maturity, at a discount priced by KPK.
Show more
Loyalty programs issue more than $300 billion in value every year. An estimated $1 trillion in points sits unused.
The points already live in software, some of them even onchain. The reserves backing them usually sit apart, disconnected from the programs they back.
For SMT, that changes now: the reserve portfolio runs programmatically in a Centrifuge vault, managed by @JHIAdvisors across $JTRSY and $JAAA. Working reserves generate yield, and yield can fund better rewards for members.
