OKX Ventures, the investment arm of crypto exchange and Web3 technology company OKX, has announced an investment into STBL, a stablecoin and yield infrastructure provider, as it prepares to launch a real-world asset (RWA)-backed stablecoin.
STBL will partner with investment firm Hamilton Lane and Securitize to launch the coin on OKX’s Layer 2 blockchain, X Layer.
According to the firms, the collaboration aims to contribute to the ongoing development of blockchain-based financial infrastructure, bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi.
The product framework incorporates a feeder fund to Hamilton Lane’s Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE), issued and tokenised through Securitize, forming part of the structure intended to support scalable and regulated stablecoin issuance.
Moreover, STBL plans to introduce an Ecosystem-Specific Stablecoin (ESS) on X Layer, using dual-token architecture to separate liquid settlement from yield generation.
Commenting on the partnership, Jeff Ren, OKX Ventures founder, says: “The collaboration strengthens the foundation for highly capital efficient RWA products across the network.”
Founder and CEO of STBL, Dr Avtar Sehra, adds that by “working with Hamilton Lane and OKX Ventures we are seeking to unlock deeper liquidity, yield management, and efficient utility across onchain ecosystems”.
Carlos Domingo, CEO of Securitize, believes that the “structure shows how tokenisation unlocks effective utility when it’s paired with regulated issuance and programmable settlement”.
