Pharos has added five new partners to its RealFi Alliance, bringing together firms focused on stablecoins, Bitcoin finance, fixed-income products, compliance infrastructure, and institutional capital.
The new members are Circle, Avalon Finance, TermMax, Primus Labs, and Tulipa Capital. According to Pharos, the goal is to connect different parts of the digital asset economy and make capital more productive on-chain. The alliance is focused on turning assets such as stablecoins and Bitcoin into tools that can support lending, settlement, investment, and other financial activities rather than remaining idle.

New partners add important pieces to the network
Each partner is expected to contribute a specific function within the alliance. Circle brings USDC and cross-chain settlement infrastructure through its Cross-Chain Transfer Protocol (CCTP). Avalon Finance focuses on Bitcoin-backed lending and yield strategies, while TermMax provides fixed-income products designed to offer more predictable returns.
Primus Labs contributes verification tools, including credential and compliance infrastructure, aimed at helping institutions participate in on-chain markets. Tulipa Capital brings investment expertise and capital allocation frameworks that could help connect institutional investors with tokenized financial products. Pharos said the additions strengthen the alliance’s ability to support a wider range of financial activities across blockchain networks.
Focus moves from holding assets to putting them to work
The announcement shows a growing effort across crypto to make existing digital assets more useful within financial markets.
Large amounts of capital remain parked in stablecoins, while Bitcoin, despite being the largest crypto asset by market value, is often held without being actively used in financial products. Institutional investors, meanwhile, continue to face regulatory and operational hurdles when entering blockchain-based markets.
By combining settlement, lending, fixed income, compliance, and capital allocation under one framework, the RealFi Alliance is positioning itself around the idea of moving digital assets from storage into active financial use. The success of that approach will depend on whether institutions and crypto-native users adopt the infrastructure being built.
Additionally, Pharos has introduced a pre-mainnet liquidity program titled “Stake before the Stake,” designed to attract early capital into its Real World Asset (RWA) ecosystem ahead of the upcoming “Pacific Ocean” mainnet launch.
