Opening for business on Tuesday, the new offering aims to give access to T-Bill investments for individuals and organizations who were previously unable to invest in these products, the companies said. The product's goal is to raise at least $30 million of deposits, Bitfinex Securities said in a press release.
The initial subscription for the product begins on Tuesday, and will be open until November 29. Investors can purchase the token with Tether's stablecoin , with plans to make it available in bitcoin {{BTC}], too. Following the subscription period, the tokens will trade on Bitfinex Securities' secondary market under the ticker USTBL. The token's value is backed by BlackRock's short-term Treasury bond ETF (iShares Treasury Bond 0-1yr UCITS).
Tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) is a rapidly growing sector in the intersection of digital assets and traditional finance that involves placing assets such as bonds, credit and funds on blockchain rails. Participants do so in pursuit of faster settlements and increased efficiency compared to traditional financial plumbing.
Token versions of U.S. Treasury notes spearheaded tokenization efforts, tripling in market size in a year to $2.4 billion currently, rwa.xyz data shows.
"The inclusion of USTBL tokens in investment portfolios will enable investors to balance digital asset exposure with the stability of traditional finance, offering a new level of diversification that can help reduce overall portfolio risk," Jesse Knutson, head of operations at Bitfinex Securities, said in a statement.
