Archax introduced real-time yield payments to Hedera, allowing interest generated by tokenized securities to be continuously distributed in USDC.
The system automatically updates interest payments as tokenized securities move between wallets. According to Archax, cash flows are transferred along with the underlying assets, allowing yields to track ownership in real time.
Most tokenized securities continue to distribute interest through periodic payments, similar to traditional financial instruments. Archax said its system enables continuous generation and settlement of cash flows and supports applications such as real-time coupon payments and revenue sharing arrangements.
The launch builds on Archax’s previous work on tokenized investment products. The company introduced pool tokens on Hedera in September, allowing multiple tokenized assets to be bundled into a single on-chain product. This includes products backed by money market funds from several large asset managers.
Archax CEO and co-founder Graham Rodford said that while tokenization is a “first step”, real-time cash flows could allow tokenized assets to support yield streams and reduce market inefficiencies.
Archax is a UK-regulated digital asset exchange and custodian, and Hedera is a public distributed ledger network used by financial institutions developing tokenized asset products. Hedera said Archax’s platform hosts more than $300 million in tokenized assets from six asset managers.
High-yield tokenized assets gain momentum
Financial institutions are increasingly bringing high-yielding assets onto blockchain networks, making tokenized money market funds a growing segment of the real-world asset market.
In April, OKX added BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized Treasury funds to its collateral framework with Standard Chartered, allowing institutional investors to use the yield-bearing assets as trading margin while in regulated custody.
A few weeks later, JPMorgan filed to launch a tokenized money market fund on Ethereum designed for stablecoin issuers. The fund invests in Treasury bills and overnight spot contracts, allowing issuers to earn yield on the reserves backing their stablecoins.
The move comes as tokenized real-world assets continue to expand, countering widespread weakness in the crypto market. According to Binance Research, the value of active tokenized RWA has increased by 589% since the beginning of 2025, and the value of tokenized bonds and money market funds has increased by approximately $6.5 billion over this period.
