Binance has now developed RWUSD, its latest principal-protected investment product which guarantees returns. RWUSD is pegged to yields from tokenized U.S. Treasury Bills and other Real World Assets (RWAs), providing a competitive APR of 4.2%. This is Binance’s move to intertwine crypto and real-world finance to broaden earning avenues for crypto holders.
As Binance announced, RWUSD is now live for earning via its Earn platform. Users may unlock RWUSD by converting eligible stablecoins USDT or USDC at a 1:1 ratio with no fees. RWUSD is principal-protected, which means users’ initial investment is safeguarded whilst earning returns from high-quality underlying assets. Binance has placed a \$5 million subscription cap per user, which is attractive to both retail and institutional.
Rewarding the users with flexible-term subscriptions, RWUSD, calculates rewards daily based on the lowest RWUSD balance held in a user’s Binance account. The earning interest accrues at the listed APR and, like interest in traditional systems, is distributed two days post subscription. To join, users need to keep at least 0.01 RWUSD in their accounts.
The integration of RWUSD is in perfect sync with Binance’s recent launch of their token launch platform based on a Bonding Curve mechanism for TGEs. This serves as a further testament to Binance’s strategy focused on the integration of Real-World Assets and DeFi into their ecosystem.
The launch serves as a further boost to the Binance ecosystem and enhances the market outlook for BNB. The timing of RWUSD’s launch is important as it coincides with the recent bullish trend on Binance Coin, with the BNB token reaching a new record high of 855. The token surged 7% in a single day, and 10% over the past week.
Market conditions for crypto have become uncertain, with RWUSD offering a more favorable solution for net passive earning for users. As described by Binance, “a principal-protected yield product offering daily APR rewards,” RWUSD is designed to serve as a ‘yield product’ with minimal risk of unpredictability in profit margins.
RWUSD demonstrates Binance’s dedication to offering innovative and differentiated assets as a digital asset class evolves. Through the integration of TradFi and crypto-native utilities, Binance is contributing to the development of a more sophisticated and inclusive ecosystem for all investors.
