Archax has introduced real-time yield payments on Hedera, enabling interest generated by tokenized securities to be distributed continuously in USDC.
The system allows interest payments to update automatically as tokenized securities move between wallets. According to Archax, cash flows are transferred alongside the underlying asset, allowing yield to follow ownership in real time.
Most tokenized securities continue to distribute interest through periodic payments, similar to traditional financial products. Archax said its system allows cash flows to accrue and settle continuously, supporting applications such as real-time coupon payments and revenue-sharing arrangements.
The launch builds on Archax’s earlier work on tokenized investment products. In September, the company introduced Pool Tokens on Hedera, allowing multiple tokenized assets to be bundled into a single onchain instrument, including a product backed by money market funds from several major asset managers.
Graham Rodford, CEO and co-founder of Archax, said tokenization was “the first step,” while real-time cash flows could allow tokenized assets to support yield streams and reduce market inefficiencies.
Archax is a UK-regulated digital asset exchange and custodian, while Hedera is a public distributed ledger network used by financial institutions developing tokenized asset products. According to Hedera, Archax’s platform hosts more than $300 million in tokenized assets from six asset managers.

Yield-bearing tokenized assets gain traction
Financial institutions are increasingly bringing yield-bearing assets onto blockchain networks, with tokenized money market funds becoming a growing segment of the real-world asset market.
In April, OKX added BlackRock’s BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund to a collateral framework with Standard Chartered, allowing institutional clients to use the yield-bearing asset as trading margin while it remains in regulated custody.
Weeks later, JPMorgan filed to launch a tokenized money market fund on Ethereum designed for stablecoin issuers. The fund will invest in Treasury bills and overnight repurchase agreements, allowing issuers to earn yield on reserves backing their stablecoins.
The push comes as tokenized real-world assets continue to expand, bucking broader weakness in the crypto market. According to Binance Research, the value of active tokenized RWAs has increased 589% since early 2025, with tokenized bonds and money market funds adding roughly $6.5 billion in value over the period.
