Decentralized Real World Assets (deRWA) are launching on Stellar with a $20M initial investment backing.
Two initial products:
- deJTRSY: Short-term US Treasuries
- deJAAA: AAA CLO strategy
The launch enables 24/7 trading of institutional-grade assets on Stellar's network.
Key integrations include:
- Soroswap Finance: Native DEX trading pairs with instant swaps
- Aquarius DeFi: Enhanced liquidity layer participation
- Blend Capital: Borrowing and lending with RWA collateral
- Defindex: Yield-backed products for retail users
Cross-chain compatibility maintained through LayerZero's OFT Standard, keeping deRWAs composable across DeFi protocols.
This development brings institutional assets directly into Stellar's DeFi ecosystem, offering alternatives to traditional stablecoins for savings and collateral.
