Centrifuge is partnering with Yala—a Bitcoin-native platform built to unlock Bitcoin’s vast capital base for sustainable yield—to give BTC holders access to returns from tokenized real-world assets.

Through this integration, eligible Bitcoin holders can allocate their capital to Yala’s RealYield platform, whereby the capital is diversified across a range of tokenized assets issued by Anemoy.

“This collaboration marks a key milestone in bridging decentralized Bitcoin capital with regulated real-world asset markets. With Centrifuge’s leading RWA infrastructure and Yala’s BTC capital base, we’re unlocking institutional-grade yield strategies, bringing greater efficiency to Bitcoin liquidity.” - KaiTai Chang, Co-founder & COO, Yala

Activating Bitcoin for real-world yield

Bitcoin is a $1.5+ trillion asset, but its utility in tokenized financial markets has remained largely untapped. Most BTC is either passively held or often deployed in speculative yield mechanisms with unstable risk parameters.

Yala RealYield and Centrifuge provide an alternative: a structured, compliance-first marketplace purpose-built for Bitcoin holders to access risk-adjusted yield opportunities tokenized by the regulated asset manager, Anemoy.

The RealYield marketplace is designed for composability and choice. It enables users to build customized portfolios by selecting among yield sources with different durations, risk-return profiles, and underlying asset classes, including U.S. Treasury bills.

This structure delivers predictable returns with customizable risk profiles — all without compromising decentralization or self-custody.

“The real innovation here isn’t just connecting Bitcoin to real-world assets — it’s doing so in a way that aligns with the principles of decentralization while enabling Bitcoin to support more productive financial use cases. We're creating new pathways for capital to move across systems that were previously siloed.” – Bhaji Illuminati, CEO, Centrifuge.

Why this partnership matters

This collaboration advances the RWA ecosystem by addressing key constraints:

• Yield access: Bitcoin holders can now earn stable, risk-adjusted returns from RWAs

• Composability: Infrastructure-level integration allows capital to flow between ecosystems in a structured, compliant way

• Broader market access: RWA exposure is now available to a wider investor base, without compromising compliance or user control

As Centrifuge continues to onboard new asset managers and products, and Yala grows its marketplace, this partnership sets the foundation for a new era: where Bitcoin becomes not just a store of value, but a powerful source of onchain liquidity fueling the real-world economy.
