Animoca Brands and Provenance Blockchain Labs will launch NUVA in the fourth quarter, a new marketplace focused on tokenized real-world assets.
The platform will allow investors to directly access digital vaults with various yield strategies, without intermediaries and across multiple blockchains. It’s built on Provenance Blockchain, a public network designed for financial services, which already holds over $15.7 billion in tokenized real-world assets.
NUVA will launch with two institutional-grade vaults. The first will be backed by YLDS, a yield-generating stablecoin registered with the SEC. The second, called nuHELOC, will include mortgage loans issued by Figure Lending, the largest non-bank originator of home equity lines of credit in the U.S. YLDS will offer a 4% annual yield with continuous compounding. The nuHELOC vault will target a yield of approximately 9%, with all loans recorded on Provenance to ensure full on-chain transparency and verifiability.
Animoca to Launch the $NUVA Token
The marketplace will feature a native token called $NUVA, designed for governance, staking, and fee payments. It will be available on Ethereum, Solana, and Base, and will be used to align incentives within the ecosystem. Additional vaults with varied risk levels, yield profiles, and liquidity models are planned for the future, although specific details have not yet been disclosed.
Animoca will lead tokenomics, commercial partnerships, and go-to-market strategy, while Provenance Blockchain Labs will handle technical infrastructure. According to their estimates, the global tokenized RWA market could grow to between $20 trillion and $30 trillion by 2030. Today, it stands at around $25 billion, with BlackRock’s fund currently leading in volume.
Animoca’s proposal aims to improve access to institutional financial products through blockchain technology, avoiding replication of traditional models. NUVA is positioned to become a direct channel between asset issuers and global capital, offering tools that reduce costs and eliminate operational friction
