- ByStartupStory | December 1, 2025
Animoca Brands, a leading digital asset platform and tokenization pioneer, has entered into a strategic partnership with blockchain ecosystem Rayls to accelerate the adoption and access of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). Formalized through a memorandum of understanding, this collaboration combines Animoca Brands’ vast network and expertise with Rayls’ institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure designed to bridge traditional finance with decentralized finance (DeFi).
The partnership aims to facilitate the origination and tokenization of diverse asset classes by identifying suitable issuers for RWAs on Rayls’ platform. It also supports the design of economic, technical, privacy, and utility parameters essential to effective tokenization. Rayls provides secure cross-chain settlement rails, privacy-preserving features, and technical interfaces enabling interoperable, compliant on-chain asset management.
According to Marcos Viriato, co-founder and CEO of Parfin, the core developer of Rayls, institutional adoption of RWAs is critical to infuse stability and reliability into crypto markets. The collaboration with Animoca Brands enhances the scalability and mainstream acceptance of tokenized assets, enabling new sectors and investors to participate in digital finance.
Evan Auyang, Group President of Animoca Brands, highlighted that the partnership unlocks a seamless pipeline for tokenizing trillions of dollars in global real-world assets. By integrating Rayls’ settlement and privacy infrastructure with Animoca’s ecosystem and NUVA Finance’s chain-agnostic vault technology, this alliance offers robust infrastructure for institutional DeFi’s next era focused on liquidity, yields, and broad access.
This strategic move signifies a major step toward mainstreaming tokenized assets and stablecoins, ushering in new possibilities for asset liquidity and accessibility worldwide. The collaboration supports Animoca Brands’ vision of advancing Web3 innovation through pragmatic solutions connecting traditional financial markets with emerging decentralized systems.
Together, Animoca Brands and Rayls are forging foundational infrastructure that will empower institutional investors, broaden asset availability, and ensure secure, transparent management of tokenized real assets across diverse blockchain environments. This paves the way for a more competitive and innovative financial ecosystem driven by tokenization at scale.
