The objective is to create a stablecoin supported by real-world assets (RWA) on OKX’s Ethereum-compatible layer-2 blockchain X Layer, as stated by the companies on Thursday.

The initiative features a feeder fund associated with Hamilton Lane’s Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE), issued and tokenized through Securitize, as detailed in a press release.

“RWA markets are entering a new phase, where tokenization must deliver real utility, not just representation,” noted Sehra, who serves as the company’s CEO. “STBL provides a purpose-built architecture for RWA-backed combined with compliant yield management.”

The partnership demonstrates how tokenization adds utility to assets when combined with regulated issuance and programmable settlement, remarked Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo.

“By embedding institutional private credit directly into on-chain money flows, we’re transforming tokenized assets into functional building blocks: assets that can be settled, composed and utilized across financial applications, rather than merely held,” Domingo stated.
