Animoca Brands and Rayls Forge Strategic Partnership to Scale Institutional RWA Tokenization

Animoca Brands has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Rayls, an ecosystem bridging traditional finance and decentralized finance (DeFi), to expand institutional access to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The partnership designates NUVA as a key distribution layer, creating a unified framework for originating, tokenizing, and distributing RWAs at an institutional scale.

The collaboration integrates Animoca's asset origination network, which will identify suitable asset classes and issuers for tokenization, with Rayls' infrastructure for defining on-chain economic parameters, privacy mechanisms, and utilities. NUVA will serve as a multichain marketplace, equipped with liquidity modules, yield-enhancing solutions, cross-chain bridges, and institutional settlement layers to facilitate secure distribution.

This initiative aims to address the gap in institutional-grade RWA infrastructure, delivering processes aligned with regulatory standards and enabling consistent yields and stable liquidity for investors. Evan Auyang, President of Animoca Brands, emphasized that the partnership opens a direct channel to tokenize trillion-dollar global markets and support the next phase of institutional DeFi.

The model seeks to attract more issuers and providers, leveraging Animoca's Web3 growth strategy to democratize investment opportunities and enhance transparency in RWA management. If successfully executed, it could significantly shape the emerging institutional RWA market.
