Archax has launched a pioneering real-time yield payment system on the Hedera blockchain, marking a significant advancement in the management of tokenized securities. This innovative approach enables real-time distribution of interest payments in USDC, ensuring that cash flows are continuously updated as tokenized assets shift between wallets.
The novel mechanism allows interest payments to evolve in real time, following the dynamics of asset ownership. This is a departure from the conventional model where most tokenized securities provide interest via scheduled payouts, akin to traditional financial instruments. Archax’s design enables cash flows to be accrued and settled on a continuous basis. Such advancements open new opportunities for applications like real-time coupon payments and seamless revenue-sharing schemes.
This development builds on Archax’s previous initiatives, including the introduction of Pool Tokens on Hedera in September, which allows for the aggregation of multiple tokenized assets into a singular on-chain model. This product includes assets linked to money market funds from several leading asset managers.
Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax, emphasized that the process of tokenization is merely an initial step in a larger evolution. He articulated that real-time cash flows could enhance tokenized assets, facilitating more robust yield streams while simultaneously mitigating market inefficiencies.
As a UK-regulated digital asset exchange and custodian, Archax operates in synergy with Hedera, a public distributed ledger network utilized by financial institutions engaged in the development of tokenized asset products. Current reports indicate that Archax’s platform now oversees over $300 million in tokenized assets from six asset managers.
The trend of integrating yield-bearing tokenized assets into blockchain ecosystems is gaining substantial momentum. Financial institutions are increasingly adopting this technology, with tokenized money market funds emerging as a significant segment within the real-world asset market. In April, OKX incorporated BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund into a collateral framework with Standard Chartered, enabling institutional clients to leverage the yield-bearing asset as trading collateral while it remains securely regulated.
Just weeks later, JPMorgan announced plans to launch a tokenized money market fund on Ethereum, specifically tailored for stablecoin issuers. This fund will invest in Treasury bills and overnight repurchase agreements, thus allowing issuers to earn yields on the reserves backing their stablecoins.
This push for tokenized real-world assets is gaining traction despite overall sluggishness in the broader cryptocurrency market. Research from Binance points to a staggering 589% increase in the value of active tokenized real-world assets since early 2025, with tokenized bonds and money market funds contributing approximately $6.5 billion to this growth. The demand for tokenized U.S. Treasurys has notably surged, especially since early 2025, showcasing the potential of tokenization in bringing efficiency and innovative financial solutions to traditional asset classes.
