OKX Ventures, the investment arm of the renowned exchange, announced this Thursday its support for an innovative stablecoin focused on real-world asset tokenization (RWA). In collaboration with Securitize and Hamilton Lane, the project seeks to integrate institutional private credit yield into the X Layer network, marking a significant step toward the convergence of traditional financial markets and modern digital infrastructure.
This initiative is distinguished by employing a dual-token architecture, strategically designed to separate yield generation from the stable unit itself. In this way, Securitize seeks to bypass regulatory restrictions imposed by United States authorities on stablecoins that distribute passive dividends, ensuring that the financial ecosystem is fully compliant with current international regulations for investors worldwide.
Innovative dual-token structure for regulatory compliance
The new digital asset will be backed by Hamilton Lane’s Senior Credit Opportunities Fund, facilitated through a technical feeder structure. However, returns will accrue at the collateral layer rather than being paid directly to holders, using an advanced programmable settlement framework, which positions this project as a benchmark in real-world asset tokenization of institutional grade.
Likewise, the participation of STBL as an infrastructure provider guarantees that yield management is transparent and secure for participants. Therefore, this dual architecture seeks to clearly differentiate stable payment instruments from traditional investment products, ensuring that liquidity flows quite efficiently through the Blockchain layer 2 developed by OKX for global financial services in the future.
On the other hand, Securitize, which already manages over $4 billion in digital assets, has the backing of giants such as BlackRock. Since the market for real-world assets is in full expansion, the integration of regulated private credit offers a robust alternative to conventional stablecoins, allowing financial institutions to diversify their portfolios with tangible and productive high-quality assets today.
How does Securitize plan to bypass prohibitions on yield-bearing stablecoins?
Therefore, the operating model responds directly to legal provisions that attempt to ban passive yields on stablecoin holdings. Currently, by separating benefits through a secondary token, the project guarantees operational stability without precedents, preventing the stablecoin from being wrongly categorized as an investment security by financial supervisors in the North American market at this moment.
Regarding the implications for the sector, this launch sets a new standard of compliance for the next generation of on-chain financial infrastructure. If this structure proves successful, other issuers could adopt similar models to offer institutional yields, thus strengthening the adoption of real-world assets on decentralized networks that seek a much deeper and less speculative economic utility.
In addition, the strategic alliance between OKX Ventures and top-tier asset management firms highlights the maturity of the ecosystem. By bringing deep liquidity and regulatory compliance to X Layer, an environment of trust is fostered for large capital, allowing institutional capital flows to integrate harmoniously with the instant settlement technology offered by today’s crypto asset networks.
Looking toward the future, the evolution of legal frameworks in the United States will be determining for the scaling of these hybrid financial products. Meanwhile, the vision of a programmable infrastructure continues to gain ground among industry leaders, ensuring that financial sovereignty and operational efficiency define the course of global digital banking in the next decade of constant innovation.
