Ondo Finance has launched its market-leading permissionless yieldcoin, USDY, on the Arbitrum blockchain, marking a significant expansion of real-world assets (RWAs) within the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. USDY, a tokenized US Treasuries product, is now accessible on Arbitrum, one of the largest and most vibrant DeFi platforms, further cementing Ondo’s role in bridging traditional finance with blockchain technology. USDY now integrated into key Arbitrum DeFi protocols USDY offers a compelling 5.35% annual percentage yield (APY) and is specifically designed for non-US individual and institutional investors. It provides the stability of a dollar-denominated asset, combined with the yield potential of US Treasury Bills. Following the integration, the USDY is now integrated into key Arbitrum DeFi protocols, including Camelot and Dolomite, enabling users to trade, lend, and earn yields in a secure, decentralized environment. Arbitrum has quickly risen to prominence as a leading Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum, boasting over $15.5 billion in total value locked (TVL) and $4.5 billion in stablecoins. The integration of USDY into this ecosystem follows the Arbitrum DAO’s strategic decision to allocate 6 million ARB from its treasury into Ondo’s yieldcoin, making USDY a substantial 17% of the DAO’s total investment. It also comes on the heels of  Arbitrum DAO’s approval of a proposal to boost ARB performance and treasury security. USDY holders on Arbitrum can benefit from trading on Camelot, the platform’s largest decentralized exchange, and lending on Dolomite, a major money market protocol. The token’s price is supported by primary and secondary market feeds from Pyth, enhancing its usability across various DeFi applications. With USDY’s launch, Ondo Finance continues to drive the adoption of RWAs on-chain, offering global investors a robust, compliant, and yield-generating asset within Arbitrum’s rapidly growing DeFi landscape.
