Tharwa, a stablecoin issuer focused on real-world asset (RWA) backing, has integrated its yield-bearing stablecoin, thUSD, into the Real Finance ecosystem. This integration marks a key milestone for both platforms, aiming to expand access to sustainable onchain yield through asset-backed digital finance.
The collaboration brings together two aligned initiatives: Tharwa’s Sharia-compliant, RWA-backed stablecoin and Real Finance’s decentralized infrastructure for tokenized real-world instruments. Together, they offer a bridge between traditional financial assets and decentralized markets.
thUSD is supported by a diversified portfolio of real-world assets, including sukuk, gold, real estate, and short-term sovereign debt. The underlying assets are managed with AI-driven, risk-optimized financial models designed to enhance capital efficiency while maintaining compliance with ethical finance principles.
Real Finance is a DeFi blockchain built to accommodate tokenized real-world assets with an emphasis on transparency, composability, and regulatory alignment. The integration of thUSD introduces new opportunities for applications within the Real ecosystem to leverage an RWA-backed stablecoin for settlement, collateral, and yield generation.
“The deployment of thUSD on Real is more than just a token integration,” said a Tharwa representative. “It reflects a shared mission to democratize access to ethical, yield-bearing financial products through decentralized infrastructure.”
The move is expected to deepen liquidity within Real’s growing DeFi environment and facilitate the development of new yield strategies that rely on stable, asset-backed instruments. By combining institutional-grade financial modeling with decentralized accessibility, the partnership aims to support more inclusive, transparent, and practically useful financial products.
Tharwa launched thUSD in the summer of 2025, and the stablecoin has recently expanded to a new record in its supply, growing to 1.2 million tokens. The company is based in the UAE, tapping the region’s favorable crypto regulation, which also protects the asset from attempts to limit yield-bearing features by US regulators. Currently, thUSD is trading on Curve Finance against USDC as it builds up its swap activity.
This integration lays the groundwork for broader adoption of onchain finance tools that align with both community principles and real-world economic structures.
