Archax has rolled out a groundbreaking feature that allows for real-time yield payments on the Hedera network, a significant advancement in the realm of tokenized securities. This innovative system enables continuous distribution of interest in USDC, effectively transforming how interest payments are handled in the digital asset space.
Traditionally, interest on tokenized securities has been distributed through periodic payments, mirroring conventional financial products. However, Archax’s new system allows interest payments to automatically update as tokenized securities are transferred between wallets. This means that cash flows will move alongside the underlying asset, allowing for real-time tracking of ownership and yield generation.
The continual accrual and settlement of cash flows introduce various practical applications, ranging from real-time coupon payments to more complex revenue-sharing models. Graham Rodford, the CEO and co-founder of Archax, emphasized that while tokenization represents a foundational step, the capacity for real-time cash flows can enhance the functionality of these tokenized assets by fostering yield streams and minimizing market inefficiencies.
This launch follows Archax’s previous developments in tokenized investment products. Just a month prior, the company had unveiled Pool Tokens on the Hedera network, enabling the bundling of multiple tokenized assets into a single on-chain instrument. This product includes assets backed by money market funds from a selection of prominent asset managers.
As a UK-regulated digital asset exchange and custodian, Archax operates within a framework designed for maintaining the integrity and security of tokenized investments. Hedera plays a crucial role as a public distributed ledger network that facilitates the development of tokenized asset products geared toward financial institutions. Currently, Archax’s platform supports more than $300 million in tokenized assets from six asset managers.
The trend of integrating yield-bearing tokenized assets into blockchain networks is gaining momentum, with tokenized money market funds emerging as a prominent segment in the market for real-world assets. For instance, in April, OKX integrated BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund into a collateral framework alongside Standard Chartered, thereby allowing institutional clients to utilize the yield-bearing asset as trading margin while it remains under regulated custody.
Shortly after, JPMorgan took steps to launch its own tokenized money market fund on Ethereum, aimed at providing stablecoin issuers with the opportunity to invest in Treasury bills and overnight repurchase agreements, thereby earning yield on reserves that back their stablecoins.
This push towards tokenized real-world assets comes amid a broader expansion, defying the overall weakness seen in the crypto market. According to Binance Research, the value of active tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) has surged by an impressive 589% since early 2025, with tokenized bonds and money market funds collectively contributing approximately $6.5 billion in value during this period.
The increase in tokenized US Treasurys has been particularly notable since early 2025, underscoring a robust interest in this segment of the financial landscape. As companies like Archax continue to innovate, the landscape of financial transactions is poised for transformation, paving the way for increased efficiency and accessibility in investment opportunities.
