Institutional treasuries go on-chain
The launch represents one of the most comprehensive on-chain real-world asset (RWA) ecosystems to date. It integrates traditional financial reliability with blockchain accessibility, enabling institutions to transact with tokenized Treasuries in a compliant and transparent environment. thBILL has rapidly grown, surpassing $200 million in assets under management, highlighting strong institutional demand for regulated on-chain products.
Brian Mehler, CEO of Stable, emphasized that the partnership bridges stablecoin networks with traditional financial systems, enabling previously inaccessible institutional-grade products on-chain. TK Kwon, Co-founder of Theo, highlighted that Stable’s architecture, which uses USDT as native gas with sub-second finality, removes key friction points in tokenized asset adoption.
Compliance and custody at the core
Libeara provides the compliant minting infrastructure required to securely issue and manage ULTRA tokens, supporting over $1 billion in tokenized assets globally. Standard Chartered ensures the secure custody of the underlying portfolio, while Wellington Management oversees strategy execution and risk management. This collaboration establishes a regulated pathway for institutional investors to participate in tokenized fixed income, combining transparency, compliance, and operational efficiency.
The initiative signals a major step toward mainstream adoption of tokenized RWAs, demonstrating how blockchain infrastructure can integrate with traditional financial markets to deliver liquid, compliant, and accessible investment products for institutions worldwide.
Notably, Stable has also published its STABLE tokenomics, detailing an economic framework designed to secure governance, align incentives, and support long-term sustainability, while all user transactions continue to settle in USDT.
