AlloyX Launches Tokenized Money Market Fund on Polygon with Standard Chartered

  • AlloyX, a Hong Kong-based firm, launched a tokenized money market fund named RYT on the Ethereum scaling network Polygon.
  • The fund, with custody services by Standard Chartered Bank, integrates with decentralized finance (DeFi) to enhance yields while adhering to compliance frameworks.
  • The stablecoin market has grown to a $280 billion market capitalization, with Tether's USDT and Circle's USDC dominating over 80% of the sector.
  • In September, AlloyX was acquired by Solowin Holdings for $350 million, facilitating expansion into emerging markets.
  • The acquisition includes T+1 settlement cycles for faster securities transactions and on-chain release of selected fund data for transparency within a regulated framework.
  • Polygon Labs supports the launch with technical integration, keeping RYT exclusive to Polygon initially, with plans to expand to other networks.
  • Dr. Thomas Zhu, Co-Founder and CEO of AlloyX Group, emphasized RYT's goal to connect DeFi liquidity with a transparent, audited cash management layer, maintaining regulatory compliance.
