Animoca Brands has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Rayls, a blockchain platform that connects traditional finance with decentralized finance.
Through this partnership, both companies will work together on tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs), making them easier to use and trade in the digital world.
The partnership will use Animoca Brands’ large network to find suitable asset types and issuers that can be turned into tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) on Rayls’ platform. Animoca Brands will also help design how these RWAs should work — including their economic model, technical setup, privacy features, and overall utility.
NUVA, a unified and chain-agnostic vault marketplace, will act as a distributor for RWAs tokenized by Rayls. To support this, Rayls will provide NUVA with assets, technology, and services that help improve yields, liquidity, and investor participation. Rayls will also offer the core institutional settlement and privacy infrastructure NUVA needs.
To further enable NUVA’s distribution of Rayls-tokenized RWAs, Rayls will supply cross-chain bridge solutions, technical interfaces, and settlement workflows, ensuring smooth and secure operations across different blockchain networks.
Marcos Viriato, co-founder and CEO of Parfin, the core developer of Rayls, said: “Now more than ever, institutional adoption is increasingly important to provide stability and reliability within crypto. With Animoca Brands’ reach, Rayls can enable more widespread adoption of RWAs and pioneer new sectors for tokenisation.”
Evan Auyang, group president of Animoca Brands, said: “Our partnership with Rayls unlocks a seamless pipeline for tokenizing trillions in real-world assets globally. By fusing Rayls’ institutional-grade settlement and privacy rails with Animoca Brands’ vast ecosystem and NUVA’s chain-agnostic vaults, we’re forging the future infrastructure for institutional DeFi’s next era in driving yields, liquidity, and true global access.”
Rayls is a blockchain designed for banks and financial institutions, helping connect traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi). Built by Parfin, it is an EVM-compatible, public-permissioned network created to meet the privacy, scalability, and compliance needs of institutions. Rayls uses quantum-safe privacy features, built-in governance tools, and its unique Privacy Node technology to securely connect traditional financial systems to public blockchains.
This infrastructure supports the growth of tokenized real-world assets, stablecoins, and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). Rayls’ mission is to bring $100 trillion in liquidity and six billion users onchain — boosting DeFi with deeper liquidity, wider access to assets, and a more competitive, innovative blockchain ecosystem.
