Yala x Centrifuge: Unlocking Bitcoin Liquidity with Real-World Assets
Yala partners with Centrifuge, a leading platform for tokenized financial products, to provide users with seamless access to tokenised RWAs.
We're excited to announce a strategic collaboration with Centrifuge, a leading platform for tokenized financial products as part of Yala RealYield. This collaboration will enable Bitcoin holders to seamlessly access yield from Real-World Assets (RWAs) tokenized by the regulated asset manager, Anemoy, across multiple ecosystems, unlocking new opportunities for Bitcoin’s liquidity.
Centrifuge empowers asset managers to tokenize, manage, and distribute funds onchain, while providing investors access to a diversified portfolio of real-world assets. Since its launch in 2017, it has become a core infrastructure platform for tokenized finance, combining onchain transparency with interoperability, capital efficiency, and institutional readiness. This aligns seamlessly with Yala’s mission to expand Bitcoin’s utility beyond simple store-of-value use cases.
At Yala, we’ve built a Bitcoin-native solution designed to channel Bitcoin’s immense liquidity into broader financial ecosystems, allowing users to unlock yield opportunities across DeFi and RWAs. With this collaboration, Bitcoin holders can access yield generated by funds tokenized via Centrifuge by bridging BTC into USDC - a currency chosen for its programmability, interoperability, and regulatory compliance - via Yala RealYield. This structured marketplace within the Yala ecosystems offers a curated range of RWA yield sources, each with distinct risk profiles, time horizons and return opportunities. Users can tap into RWA strategies generated by funds issued by Anemoy to earn stable, real-world yields while retaining Bitcoin’s security and on-chain accessibility.
“The real innovation here isn’t just connecting Bitcoin to real-world assets — it’s doing so in a way that aligns with the principles of decentralization while enabling Bitcoin to support more productive financial use cases. We're creating new pathways for capital to move across systems that were previously siloed.” – Bhaji Illuminati, CEO, Centrifuge.
This partnership brings a fresh source of Bitcoin-driven liquidity to Centrifuge’s RWA marketplace while offering Yala users exposure to institutional-grade yield sources through Yala RealYield. It empowers BTC holders to diversify their portfolios with customizable yield strategies, seamlessly integrated into DeFi. Together, Yala and Centrifuge are redefining how Bitcoin liquidity interacts with tokenized financial markets, driving its evolution in the world of RWAs.
“This collaboration marks a key milestone in bridging decentralized Bitcoin capital with regulated real-world asset markets. With Centrifuge’s leading RWA infrastructure and Yala’s BTC capital base, we’re unlocking institutional-grade yield strategies, bringing greater efficiency to Bitcoin liquidity.” - KaiTai Chang, Yala Co-founder & COO.
