AB Charity Foundation Launches Global Operations with Blockchain-Backed Public Good Framework

Dublin, Ireland, April 11th, 2025, Chainwire

AB Charity Foundation has officially launched its global operations and unveiled its newly upgraded website at www.ab.org, marking the beginning of a public-interest initiative built on institutional credibility and advanced blockchain technology. Headquartered in Ireland with recognized legal status under EU law, the Foundation is positioned as a global nonprofit entity committed to reshaping the future of public trust and sustainable development by bridging governments, civil society, and the tech community.

The Foundation’s governance is led by a distinguished board of directors composed of former heads of state from Europe. The board is chaired by Bertie Ahern, former three-term Prime Minister of Ireland and a key architect of the Good Friday Agreement. Board members include Lawrence Gonzi (former Prime Minister of Malta), Péter Medgyessy (former Prime Minister of Hungary), Danilo Türk (former President of Slovenia), and Petar Stoyanov (former President of Bulgaria).

The Foundation is actively expanding its global advisory board, bringing together respected figures from all five continents—including former presidents, scientists, diplomats, and cultural leaders—to guide strategic planning and foster international collaboration in delivering impactful social initiatives.

At the heart of the Foundation’s mission lies a commitment to public good: advancing global efforts in education, healthcare, environmental protection, and humanitarian aid. The Foundation aims to build a “verifiable model of cooperative goodwill,” powered by transparent governance and next-generation technology. As its founders emphasize, “It is not a specific technology that changes the world—but the shared consensus around trustworthy institutions and global cooperation.”

AB Charity Foundation is technically supported by AB DAO, which provides the blockchain infrastructure underpinning the Foundation’s operations. Through smart contract automation, 15% to 30% of the gas fees from every transaction on the AB public chain are directed into a dedicated charity pool. This mechanism enables a new operational model for charitable funding—combining on-chain fundraising, automated distribution, full-chain auditability, and third-party compliance assurance.

In addition, 15% to 30% of the returns generated from investments by the AB Ecosystem Fund will also be directed into the Foundation’s pool. The fund has already supported dozens of projects, with more initiatives in the pipeline—strengthening the financial sustainability of the Foundation’s mission.

By leveraging blockchain’s inherent transparency, the Foundation aspires to become a scalable model for next-generation philanthropic infrastructure—ensuring every donation is traceable, every distribution verifiable, and every intention honored.

Whale NFT Bridge Goes Live: TON to Solana Migration Launches on Bridgemedaddy.com

Willemstad, Curaçao, April 10th, 2025, Chainwire

Whale.io has officially launched its highly anticipated NFT bridge, seamlessly transporting the iconic Whale NFT collection from the TON blockchain to the Solana blockchain. The migration is now live on bridgemedaddy.com a dedicated domain facilitating the cross-chain transfer. Now listed on Magic Eden, one of the largest NFT marketplaces on Solana, Whale.io introduces its collection to a new blockchain environment, maintaining features such as zero gas fees and a range of rarity traits.

A New Home on Solana with Magic Eden

The Whale NFT collection, a standout success on TON, is now swimming into Solana’s vibrant waters, and there’s no better place to showcase it than Magic Eden. Known for its sleek interface, massive user base, and fast transactions, Magic Eden is the perfect stage for Whale NFTs to shine. With Solana’s high-speed, low-cost blockchain powering the action, collectors and traders can expect a seamless experience as they dive into this next chapter of the Whale journey.

Solana’s ecosystem is recognized for its active NFT development, and Whale.io’s integration adds another established collection to the network. Magic Eden’s reputation as the go-to marketplace for Solana NFTs, provides a platform for the Whale NFT collection to reach a broader audience. Whether one is a longtime Whale holder or a Solana native looking to get in on the action, this bridge unlocks a world of possibilities—starting at bridgemedaddy.com.

How the Whale NFT Bridge Works

Users seeking to transfer Whale NFTs from the TON blockchain to Solana can do so via bridgemedaddy.com, which offers a streamlined bridging process. According to details shared on Whale.io’s blog, the process is user-friendly and secure, leveraging cutting-edge bridging technology to ensure the user’s NFTs make the journey to Solana. The process includes the following steps:”

  1. Accessing the Bridge – The migration interface is hosted at bridgemedaddy.com.
  2. Wallet Connection: Users connect a TON-compatible wallet, such as Tonkeeper, that holds their Whale NFTs.
  3. NFT Selection – Holders select the NFTs they intend to bridge from TON to Solana.
  4. Solana Address Input – A Solana wallet address is required as the destination. An associated Magic Eden account may also be needed to list NFTs post-migration.
  5. Transaction Execution – Upon confirmation, the selected TON NFTs are burned, and new versions are minted on Solana via smart contract.

The collection will be revealed again. 

During the process, the user’s Ton NFTs will be burned and a new NFT will be minted on the Solana blockchain. The freshly minted new beast has new traits, new rarity, and new value after the artwork is revealed.

One of the notable aspects of the Whale NFT collection is the artwork reveal. While the artwork remains the same as on TON, the specific NFT received after bridging is not predetermined. The process introduces a randomized assignment, meaning holders may receive an NFT with different traits or rarity once on Solana.

Why Solana and Magic Eden Are the Perfect Fit

Solana’s blockchain is a powerhouse—blazing fast, cost-efficient, and home to a thriving NFT community. It’s no wonder Whale.io chose it as the next stop for its 20,000-strong NFT collection. These characteristics support Whale.io’s decision to expand its 20,000-item collection to the network, with trading now available on Magic Eden.

Magic Eden takes it up a notch with its top-tier marketplace features. From curated listings to real-time analytics, it’s built to showcase Whale NFTs in all their glory. The platform’s large user base increases the potential visibility of Whale NFTs across a range of rarity tiers. As Whale.io’s blog highlights, Solana’s “high-throughput, low-latency network” paired with Magic Eden’s “battle-tested tools” is a match made in NFT heaven, promising faster feature rollouts and a bigger splash in the market.

From TON Triumph to Solana Stardom

The Whale NFT collection made history on TON, minting out 20,000 NFTs in 11 hours and soaring to a 7x floor price increase within a year. Now, it’s ready to conquer Solana with the same energy. The team’s signature moves—buybacks, burns, and zero gas fees—are coming along for the ride, ensuring the collection stays hot on Magic Eden. As detailed on whale.io/thedailyfinn/wtf/nft-bridge, these strategies have kept Whale NFTs trending on TON’s Getgems, and they’re set to do the same on Solana.

Bridge Launch and Ongoing Developments

The Whale NFT bridge is more than a migration—it’s a celebration of what’s possible in the NFT space. Whether a user is a collector, trader, or gamer, the bridge provides an opportunity to interact with the Whale NFT collection on Solana. The team promises more updates, from marketplace drops to soon-to-be-released token enhancements. Users can follow Whale.io’s official channels to stay in the loop.

With the launch of the Whale NFT bridge at bridgemedaddy.com and integration into the Solana ecosystem via Magic Eden, the collection expands its reach across blockchain networks. This development marks a continued evolution of the Whale.io platform within the broader NFT landscape

About Whale.io

Whale.io is a trailblazer in NFTs and blockchain gaming, fusing art, utility, and community into unforgettable projects. The Whale NFT collection and the Wheel of Whales miniapp are designed to explore the intersection of utility and entertainment within decentralized environments.

Huma Finance 2.0 Launches on Solana, Bringing Composable Real Yield to DeFi Users

San Francisco, United States/California, April 10th, 2025, Chainwire

Huma Finance, the first PayFi Network, announced the launch of Huma 2.0, a permissionless, compliant, and composable real-yield platform built on Solana today. This launch opens global access to Huma’s stable real yield from global payment financing related to everyday commerce and trade activities. This development broadens individual access to stable, real-world yield—historically more common in institutional finance—by leveraging payment-financing mechanisms. Simultaneously, the existing permissioned service has been rebranded as Huma Institutional to continue serving institutions and accredited investors. Users can begin depositing on the new Huma 2.0 platform immediately.

Huma 2.0 offers users alternative ways to participate as liquidity providers. It introduces two primary modes to cater to different user preferences: Classic Mode, designed for those seeking stable, double-digit USDC yield (updated monthly) combined with rewards called Huma Feathers; and Maxi Mode, tailored for users aiming to maximize their accumulation of Huma Feathers, earning rewards at 5x the base rate, without receiving USDC yield. Users can switch the mode of their existing positions at any time.

DeFi composability is also a core feature of Huma 2.0, enabled by the $PST, short for PayFi Strategy Token. This liquid, yield-bearing LP token allows holders to integrate their Huma positions with leading protocols on Solana. At launch, users can swap $PST for USDC via Jupiter, the first of several planned integrations with top Solana DeFi platforms. Support for using $PST as collateral on Kamino and trading future rewards via RateX are expected shortly after launch. While participation does not require capital lock-up, users can opt for 3-month or 6-month terms to significantly boost their Huma Feather rewards via multipliers. Notably, during the initial launch period, these multipliers are significantly elevated as part of a limited-time promotion, offering particularly high boosts in Maxi Mode. These features offer users enhanced flexibility and choice in managing their positions.

In just two years, Huma Finance’s PayFi Network has rapidly achieved significant scale, processing over $3.8 billion in transactions and generating $8 million in annualized revenue. Huma supports its partners to generate yield from their PayFi operations. Unlike DeFi yields often reliant on token incentives, market speculation, or typically low rates in traditional finance, PayFi yield originates directly from fees paid by businesses using the network for payment financing and settlement liquidity. Capital is recycled rapidly—often within days—compounding fees generated from tangible economic activity. This mechanism has enabled Huma to consistently deliver stable, double-digit USDC yields, showcasing a sustainable model further validated by backing from leading investors and recognition from industry analysts like Messari regarding PayFi’s potential to address a $30 trillion market.

“Huma 2.0 isn’t just another yield product — it’s a structural shift.” Said Erbil Karaman, Co-founder of Huma Finance. “By giving payments institutions a new source of liquidity that operates 24/7 with incredible capital efficiency, we are creating a new type of yield that is composable, transparent, and grounded in real economic activity. It finally gives DeFi access to a source of returns that institutions have kept to themselves for decades — and it does so without compromising on what makes DeFi powerful.”

The launch of Huma 2.0 comes during significant shifts in global finance and within the DeFi landscape itself. While legacy payment infrastructures like SWIFT face challenges with speed and transparency and trillions in capital remain inefficiently allocated, the demand for modern, blockchain-based solutions is clear, evidenced by stablecoin transaction volumes recently reaching a reported $35 trillion. Huma 2.0 leverages this shift, providing efficient settlement liquidity and broadening access for individuals worldwide to earn from foundational financial activities – an opportunity previously confined mainly to institutions.

Crucially, the yield generated through PayFi is designed to be less dependent on crypto market cycles. Whether markets are booming or in a downturn, economic activities like payments and trade may continue, potentially offering a more stable foundation for Huma’s yield generation. This structure may make double-digit returns more relevant during bear markets, where speculative yields often decline. As DeFi matures, there is a readiness for this type of yield – one grounded in tangible commerce rather than token speculation. PayFi serves as a foundational layer, enabling new DeFi strategies like the recent Solmate product from Splyce, which combines Huma’s $PST yield with SOL liquid staking, bridging decentralized finance with productive economic use.

Huma 2.0 marks a key step in building a new financial future, fundamentally expanding participation by inviting everyone into a financial revolution where access is open and fair. Early participants can benefit from various reward multipliers, including boosts for prior Huma depositors and partner communities. As the platform expands with more DeFi integrations and plans to be the first major project on Jupiter’s LFG 2.0 launchpad – Huma continues to build finance that is truly accessible.

Bitfinex Lists Stacks (STX) and Joins as Network Signer, Boosting Bitcoin Ecosystem

New York, New York, April 8th, 2025, Chainwire

Bitfinex, a leading digital asset trading platform, today announced its strategic support for the Stacks ecosystem by listing the native token STX and joining as a network signer. This support aligns with Bitfinex’s commitment to advancing Bitcoin’s capabilities and comes at a time when the industry is seeing a surge in Bitcoin’s utility and adoption.

Stacks is the leading layer-2 among a broader Bitcoin ecosystem poised to surpass $10 billion in Total Value Locked (TVL) by the end of 2025. Stacks unlocks Bitcoin’s capabilities by enabling smart contracts and decentralized applications (dApps) that inherit Bitcoin’s security budget. By listing STX, Bitfinex provides traders with direct access to the token, which powers transactions and governance within the Stacks ecosystem. Additionally, by participating as a network signer on Stacks, Bitfinex helps to secure the protocol and maintain its decentralized structure. This reinforces their involvement in supporting core blockchain infrastructure. 

This participation comes at a crucial time, as Bitcoin Layers are emerging as one of the industry’s most significant catalysts. With $2 trillion of Bitcoin capital currently not deployed in DeFi, the maturation of this ecosystem represents a potential $240 billion opportunity – five times greater than Ethereum’s Layer-2 landscape. The market is at the same time witnessing a surge in institutional interest towards Bitcoin, fueled by its potential as a strategic reserve. This creates a powerful opportunity for projects like Stacks, which enhance Bitcoin’s functionality. Bitfinex, recognizing this trend and catering to traders focused on high-potential assets, is well-positioned to leverage this dynamic. 

“Adding STX is part of our goal to actively participate in what we believe is a paradigm shift for Bitcoin,” said Anoush Bhasin, Head of Listings at Bitfinex. “As Bitcoin Layers progress towards maturity, we’re giving our users early access to this crucial moment.”

Bitfinex continues to prioritize projects that advance blockchain adoption while maintaining high standards of security and compliance, furthering its role as an early adopter and leader in the digital asset ecosystem. Through the addition of STX, Bitfinex gives users access to Bitcoin’s leading layer-2 solution, enhancing the exchange’s focus on Bitcoin-related innovations and expanding use cases.

About Bitfinex

Founded in 2012, Bitfinex is a digital token trading platform offering state-of-the-art services for traders and global liquidity providers. In addition to a suite of advanced trading features and charting tools, Bitfinex provides access to peer-to-peer financing, an OTC market and margin trading for a wide selection of digital tokens. Bitfinex’s strategy focuses on providing unparalleled support, tools, and innovation for experienced traders and liquidity providers around the world. Visit www.bitfinex.com to learn more.

About Stacks

Stacks, the leading Bitcoin L2, enables smart contracts and decentralized applications to use Bitcoin as a secure base layer. The Nakamoto release, activated in October 2024, brought faster speeds and transactions that are as irreversible as Bitcoin’s once confirmed. This set the stage for sBTC, a programmable Bitcoin asset, which launched on December 17, 2024. Stacks is the current leading Bitcoin L2 by developer traction and market cap and is helping unlock Bitcoin and its $1T in passive capital as a fully programmable, productive asset. The Stacks (STX) token, used as gas on the L2, was the first to undergo an SEC-qualified sale in the United States. The project explicitly decentralized with the mainnet launch in 2021. In the Stacks ecosystem, there are currently 30+ contributing entities including a non-profit Stacks Foundation, a developer tooling company Hiro, Xverse, Trust Machines, Mechanism, Bitcoin L2 Labs, ALEX, Bitcoin Frontier Fund, and more.

Freedx Secures Key DASP License in El Salvador

San Salvador, El Salvador, April 8th, 2025, Chainwire

Dubai, UAE/ San Salvador, El Salvador, Freedx, a centralized exchange built for crypto newcomers and experienced traders alike, has been granted a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license by the Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales (CNAD) in El Salvador. This marks a significant milestone for Freedx that showcases the exchange’s commitment to become a trusted, compliant and accountable platform in the crypto ecosystem. 

El Salvador’s dedication to crypto-forward policies and favorable regulatory efforts in the space began in 2021 when they became the first country to recognize Bitcoin as legal tender. The enactment of its Digital Assets Law in 2023 positioned the country as a global hub for digital assets, drawing major industry players like Tether and Binance. 

“We are truly impressed by the professionalism and preparation demonstrated by the Freedx team. Their readiness to launch a successful company is exactly what we are looking for in companies obtaining the DASP license.” – Juan Carlos Reyes / President of CNAD” 

Freedx is now officially among a select group of organizations that have obtained the DASP license in El Salvador – known to have a low application success rate due to its rigorous compliance standards. This license ensures the platform operates within the country’s legal framework, offering users increased regulatory oversight, security, and transparency. As a result, users can confidently trade and invest, knowing their assets are managed under strict compliance. Additionally, El Salvador’s pro-crypto policies and growing blockchain ecosystem provide exciting opportunities for investment and innovation.

At PBW, Freedx will sponsor an exclusive VIP Diner at The Louvre and partake in panel discussions at the main stage of the event. Meanwhile, at the Digital Asset Summit, Freedx will focus on exhibiting its brand across the conference hall. 

“We are all thrilled and honoured to have been granted the coveted DASP license by the Comisión Nacional de Activos Digitales. El Salvador is a beacon in the crypto space and is setting the standard for countries looking to undergo a digital and technological revolution,” Jonathan Farnell, CEO at Freedx said. “This achievement speaks volumes about the hard work the Freedx team is doing to ensure we offer a compliant and transparent experience for our users.” 

“This achievement marks a pivotal step forward for our exchange, reinforcing our dedication to security, transparency, and innovation in the digital asset space. Operating under El Salvador’s strict and rigorous regulatory framework ensures that we maintain the highest standards in listing assets and handling user deposits.

Hive Intelligence Launches Mainnet, Joins NVIDIA Inception to Power Next-Generation Crypto AI Agents

New Delhi, India, April 7th, 2025, Chainwire

Hive Intelligence, a next-generation platform that empowers AI with real-time, multi-chain blockchain data via a robust API, today announced the official launch of its mainnet alongside its recent induction into NVIDIA’s Inception program for AI startups. These milestones mark a major step in Hive’s mission to make AI-driven blockchain applications faster and more accessible, positioning the company at the forefront of the emerging AI+crypto space.

Key Highlights

  • Mainnet Launch: Developers can now leverage Hive Intelligence’s unified API to query real-time data across 60+ blockchains using natural language—eliminating the need to navigate fragmented data sources.
  • NVIDIA Inception Membership: Hive gains access to NVIDIA’s best-in-class AI tools and networking opportunities, fueling the development of advanced AI-driven blockchain solutions.
  • $HINT Utility Token: The native token powers Hive’s ecosystem, enabling payment for on-chain data queries, AI computations, governance participation, and more.

The Industry Challenge: Driving AI Adoption in Blockchain

The growing convergence between AI and crypto has highlighted a persistent challenge: fragmented on-chain data that’s difficult to ingest, analyze, and act upon at scale. Traditional approaches rely on disparate APIs, complex node infrastructure, or manual data aggregation—all of which limit the potential of autonomous AI agents and advanced blockchain analytics. Hive Intelligence solves these pain points by merging dozens of data providers and blockchains into one streamlined API, enabling near-instant queries optimized for large language models (LLMs) and other AI workflows.

“Hive Intelligence’s mainnet debut isn’t just a product release—it’s an invitation for businesses across Web2 and Web3 to harness the power of on-chain intelligence,” said Rishabh Narang, spokesperson for Hive Intelligence. “By joining NVIDIA Inception and going live on mainnet, we’re proving that AI-driven analytics can become the new standard for blockchain innovation, fueling use cases from DeFi to NFTs, compliance, and beyond.”

Mainnet Ushers in a New Era of AI+Blockchain

The launch of Hive Intelligence’s mainnet opens its AI-driven blockchain data infrastructure to the world. Developers and enterprises can now integrate directly with Hive’s platform to pull real-time, multi-chain data through a single, robust API. Crucially, Hive eliminates the historical fragmentation of blockchain data across disparate networks. For the first time, AI agents can seamlessly query and interact with multiple blockchains in one place, overcoming a major bottleneck in crypto analytics and application development.

Hive’s API is designed to be LLM-ready, supporting natural language queries and AI-friendly responses. This means developers can ask complex questions about blockchain activity in plain English—such as, “What was the total trading volume on decentralized exchanges across Ethereum and Binance Chain in the past 24 hours?”—and receive structured, insightful answers immediately. The platform’s ability to handle such queries across several chains and data types (from DeFi lending stats to NFT marketplace trends) sets it apart as a universal data layer for Web3.

Joining NVIDIA Inception to Turbocharge AI Innovation

Hive’s acceptance into NVIDIA Inception, NVIDIA’s global startup program, provides significant momentum to the project’s AI ambitions. NVIDIA Inception offers technical guidance, go-to-market resources, and networking opportunities to promising companies in artificial intelligence and data science. In Hive’s case, membership comes with access to NVIDIA’s expertise in scaling AI models and infrastructure, as well as potential collaboration on cutting-edge AI research. This partnership is expected to speed up Hive’s roadmap of new features, potentially including enhanced natural language processing models for blockchain queries and more sophisticated AI agent integrations.

$HINT Token: Powering the Hive Ecosystem

At the core of Hive Intelligence’s platform is the $HINT utility token, which launched in tandem with the network. Far more than just a cryptocurrency, $HINT functions as the fuel driving the Hive ecosystem—it is required to access certain services and features on the platform, acting as the key that unlocks Hive’s advanced search and analytics capabilities.

Developers and users utilize $HINT to pay for API calls and data queries on the Hive network, ensuring those who contribute resources are rewarded. As usage grows, demand for $HINT increases, incentivizing more data providers and validators to support the network. The token also underpins community governance and security: $HINT holders can vote on platform upgrades and parameters, aligning Hive’s evolution with its most invested users.

Yala Announces RealYield: A Marketplace for Bitcoin-Powered Real-World Asset Yields

Singapore, Singapore, April 4th, 2025, Chainwire

Yala, the Bitcoin-native liquidity layer enabling cross-ecosystem financial access, today announced the upcoming launch of Yala RealYield, a curated marketplace for real-world asset (RWA) yield opportunities powered by Bitcoin. The new platform will enable BTC holders to earn regulated, risk-adjusted yields by allocating capital into tokenized financial products, including U.S. Treasury bills, private credit, corporate bonds, and real estate-backed assets.

Yala RealYield is designed as a unified access point to all of Yala’s RWA-related integrations. Rather than operating as a standalone product, it consolidates partnerships and investment opportunities into a structured platform where users can explore, compare, and combine diverse RWA yield sources, each offering distinct risk profiles, durations, and APYs.

By enabling global, 24/7 access to high-quality, compliant RWA opportunities, Yala RealYield democratizes investment strategies previously limited to institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals.

“Real-world assets are rapidly becoming the next frontier in blockchain finance. With RealYield, we’re offering Bitcoin holders a reliable, transparent way to earn real returns without leaving the decentralized economy,” said Kaitai Chang, COO at Yala. “This is a foundational step toward integrating BTC with the broader financial system.”

Key Features of Yala RealYield:

  • Curated RWA Marketplace: Investors can access a wide selection of tokenized real-world yield opportunities, including sovereign debt, real estate, and private credit—all with transparent terms regarding risk, maturity, and return.
  • Customizable Yield Strategies: Users can mix and match products to create bespoke portfolios tailored to individual preferences.
  • Seamless Bitcoin Integration: All investments begin with BTC, ensuring on-chain transparency, verifiability, and security.
  • Compliance-First Design: Robust legal and regulatory reviews to ensure real-world assets can be securely and legally onboarded.
  • Unified Experience: Yala offers a single dashboard for minting, trading, and managing RWA and DeFi positions—eliminating the need for fragmented platforms.
  • Institutional-Grade Access: Multi-signature custody, on-chain governance, and permissioned access provide a secure foundation for institutional participation.
  • Incentivized Participation: Yield farming and staking mechanisms will be introduced to drive engagement across both retail and institutional segments.

Personalized Yield Through a Marketplace Model

Yala RealYield operates as a marketplace, enabling users to browse and select from a range of yield products across categories such as:

  • Risk Profile – From low-risk instruments like U.S. Treasuries to higher-yield private credit vehicles.
  • Time Horizon – Options range from short-duration liquidity to long-term fixed-income strategies.
  • Target Returns – Each product includes APY benchmarks to help users align returns with personal investment objectives.

Yala will also introduce the RWA Vault Allocation Framework, a model that packages diversified real-world assets into unified yield vaults, each with defined allocation weights. This mirrors traditional asset allocation strategies but with the added composability and efficiency of Web3 infrastructure.

Strategic Vision and Market Opportunity

Yala RealYield addresses a long-standing gap in crypto: unlocking Bitcoin’s immense liquidity for productive, low-risk yield generation. The launch comes as institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets accelerates, with the total addressable market for RWAs projected to reach trillions of dollars in the coming years.

By combining compliance-first infrastructure, seamless BTC access, and a growing roster of RWA partnerships, Yala is well-positioned to become the leading yield gateway for Bitcoin in traditional financial markets.

“Bitcoin remains the most underutilized source of liquidity in the global financial system,” said Kaitai. “RealYield allows us to connect that capital to compliant, income-generating products, building a future where BTC earns real-world returns.”

Looking Ahead

Yala plans to expand the RealYield marketplace over the coming months through additional integrations, refined yield packaging, and improved tooling for developers and institutional users. Long-term, Yala will support the use of RWA-backed positions as collateral for stablecoin minting, creating deeper synergies between DeFi and traditional finance.

About Yala

Yala is building a liquidity layer to unlock Bitcoin’s untapped yield across DeFi and RWAs. Users can deposit BTC and access seamless liquidity, enabling efficient capital movement and yield opportunities across ecosystems, chains, and protocols.
