Rayls Labs, the blockchain network that unites banks and institutions and marries TradFI and DeFi, today announced a strategic partnership with Animoca Brands, a pioneer in digital asset platforms and tokenization. The two decentralized networks are collaborating to accelerate the adoption and access of tokenized real-world assets (RWA), according to an announcement disclosed today.
Rayls is a blockchain ecosystem powered by native RLS tokens that brings together traditional and decentralized finance by facilitating secure and regulated asset tokenization and cross-border digital asset payments for institutions. This will allow institutions to tokenize assets on private permissioned chains while facilitating payments on public blockchains. Through this approach, Rayls helps institutions securely leverage decentralized liquidity with privacy-preserving and compliant infrastructure.

Rayls and Animoca pioneer the next wave of RWA market
This partnership marks an important milestone in advancing institutional-level RWA tokenization in a decentralized environment. With this partnership, Rayls and Animoca aim to disrupt traditional centralized financial markets by expanding 24/7 trading of RWA on-chain with transparency, low costs, and international investment access.
Under the memorandum of understanding officially signed today, the partnership facilitates the integration of Animoca Brands’ vast network of digital asset investments with partnerships across the Web3 space and Rayls’ blockchain infrastructure to scale the tokenization of a wide range of physical assets on a global scale.
According to the announcement, Animoca will help identify the right asset class and the right issuer for RWA on Rayls’ platform. Meanwhile, Rayls has a compliant, privacy-focused blockchain infrastructure that enables RWA tokenization and cross-border payments, and plans to provide secure multi-chain payment rails, data protection safeguards, and digital interfaces that enable interoperable and regulated asset management.
Additionally, NUVA, a chain-agnostic vault marketplace, will serve as a platform for distributing tokenized assets created on Rayls’ platform, according to the announcement.
Rise of RWA: Disrupting centralized markets with innovative technology
By leveraging Rayls’ cutting-edge blockchain infrastructure and Animoca’s deep knowledge of DeFi solutions, this collaboration will equip us to connect more real-world assets to blockchain networks, providing an innovative approach to liquidity management and financial inclusion. This partnership addresses one of the biggest challenges in the tokenization space: market access.
Accessing real estate and many other high-value assets remains difficult for most investors, as centralized intermediaries add barriers related to costs and bottlenecks. The partnership between Rayls and Animoca plans to redefine that model by establishing a decentralized and transparent alternative. This ensures that a variety of physical assets run reliably on-chain and can be traded 24/7, providing greater cost-effectiveness and flexibility for investors around the world.
