Woo X emphasized that this innovative product combines real-world assets with blockchain-based real yield, offering the convenience of a centralized exchange environment. The annual return for the vaults is based on real-time earnings from the on-chain RWA vault and will be facilitated by Open Trade and USDC. 
The exchange explained that the move to introduce United States Treasury Bills on-chain has been gaining popularity recently because it offers institutional investors a minimal risk, low friction, and low conversion cost alternative to generating real yield.&nbsp; 
In its announcement, the exchange referenced investment asset management giant BlackRock’s recent venture into the RWA space with its new fund, $BUIDL, on the Ethereum network. The firm noted that BlackRock’s entry into the RWA niche had contributed massively to the credibility boost of the new sector. 
On March 21, BlackRock <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20240320771318/en/">announced </a>the launch of the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity (BUIDL) Fund in collaboration with Securitize, marking its entry into the RWA sector. Bloomberg <a style="color: #0000ff;" href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-03-27/blackrock-tokenized-fund-draws-160-million-in-week-since-debut">reported</a>&nbsp; that BUIDL has attracted more than $240 million from investors since its introduction. The fund invests in US Treasury bills, cash, and repurchase agreements while issuing BUIDL crypto tokens valued at $1 per coin to holders.
