Securitize, the tokenization platform bringing the world onchain, today announced the launch of its new “sToken”, based on ERC-4626 vault technology.
This functionality, offered via subsidiary Securitize Credit, in partnership with Elixir’s “deUSD RWA Institutional Program” reportedly unlocks yield-opportunities and “composability for more than $1B Real World Assets (RWAs)” issued by Securitize across decentralized finance (DeFi).
Institutional holders of Securitize-issued RWAs can now access liquidity in deUSD within DeFi while continuing to “receive yields from their underlying investments.”
This partnership further empowers protocols, foundations, funds and other Securitize clients to access investments “from Wall Street’s managers without sacrificing DeFi-native opportunities.”
Securitize Co-founder & CEO Carlos Domingo said that this functionality not only provides liquidity options but also “bridges the gap between traditional assets and the digital asset economy, offering investors more ways to manage and optimize their portfolios.”
Elixir Founder & CEO Philip Forte remarked that Elixir is excited to partner with Securitize to bring this 0 to 1 innovation to DeFi.
Forte added that the Elixir Network is a “purpose-built stack powering exchange orderbooks and deUSD (Decentralized US Dollar).”
Forte also mentioned that for the first time ever, holders of tokenized real-world assets can natively “use their assets onchain in DeFi, accessing unified liquidity via deUSD.” He also explained that these users continue to accrue yield directly from Securitize while “keeping isolated collateral exposure.” He added that they believe this is just the “first step to bridge the gap of liquidity between institutions and DeFi.”
Securitize, the firm focused on tokenizing real-world assets, is “bringing the world onchain” via tokenized funds in partnership with asset managers.
Securitize, via its subsidiaries, is a SEC-registered broker dealer and digital transfer agent, and operator of a SEC-regulated Alternative Trading System (ATS).
