Securitize has announced a “new chapter for institutional DeFi.”
The tokenization platform has partnered with Gauntlet to enable a Real World Assets (RWA) strategy, powered by Morpho, deployed on the Polygon Network.
Securitize states that the institutional-grade solution enables permissioned Apollo Diversified Credit Securitize Fund (ACRED) holders to access enhanced yields through quantitative modeling and permissionless DeFi infrastructure.
The collaboration is said to bridge TradFi and DeFi by increasing the utility of RWAs on-chain, offering yields currently unavailable in TradFi formats. Investors may deposit ACRED tokens on Polygon PoS into a Gauntlet-curated vault, that is designed to automatically execute an optimized strategy while managing risk.
This leveraged RWA strategy is said to be one of the first major institutional deployments of sTokens a standard introduced by Securitize.
This past January 2025, Securitize and Apollo partnered to tokenize investment opportunities, starting with the launch of ACRED.
ACRED is a tokenized feeder fund that invests in the Apollo Diversified Credit Fund, a diversified global credit strategy that invests across corporate direct lending, asset-backed lending, and performing, dislocated, and structured credit.
The strategy allows permissioned ACRED holders to loop yield via a @gauntlet_xyz optimized vault on @MorphoLabs.
