Blockchain project Noble has partnered with asset manager Hashnote to introduce a tokenized real-world asset product on Cosmos. The collaboration will result in the USYC, a short-duration yield fund product from Hashnote, issued on the Noble blockchain. This initiative aims to tap into the RWA niche on Cosmos and demonstrate the power of the IBC protocol in making real-world assets natively interoperable. USYC is expected to be used across a diverse range of applications, including as collateral in DeFi apps across the Cosmos ecosystem. Noble CEO and co-founder Jelena Djuric stated that USYC will have a 'T+1 redemption' guarantee, allowing investments to be redeemed one business day after the trade date.
