Each asset comes with clear risk levels, terms, and annual percentage yield (APY) clauses to ensure user decision safety.This partnership marks the acceleration of Bitcoin's penetration into the RWA sector, and the synergy between Yala and Plume will jointly drive the transformation of the multi-trillion-dollar real asset market, significantly enhancing Bitcoin's capital efficiency and application scenarios.

ChainCatcher news, Bitcoin's native liquidity layer Yala today announced a strategic partnership with RWA credit leader Centrifuge. Through this collaboration, Bitcoin holders can seamlessly access the tokenized real asset yield market of compliant asset management firm Anemoy via the Yala RealYield platform, capturing stable cash flows while maintaining on-chain security, opening up new opportunities for Bitcoin liquidity.As a core infrastructure in the RWA tokenization space, Centrifuge has been empowering asset managers since 2017 to achieve on-chain tokenization and compliant operations of traditional assets.
