Ondo Finance has announced a strategic partnership with Aptos Foundation, aiming to revolutionize the integration of real-world assets (RWAs) with blockchain technology on the Aptos Network. This collaboration is set to enhance the reliability of traditional finance with the efficiency and accessibility of blockchain technology. Additionally, lending protocol Thala Labs will integrate the Treasury-backed stablecoin USDY as a collateral asset, marking a significant step in the expansion of the Aptos ecosystem. The partnership also highlights the launch of USDY in Thala’s Automated Market Maker (AMM) pools with deep liquidity and its whitelisting as collateral for the MOD stablecoin. This move is part of a broader effort to bridge traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi), bringing institutional expertise and markets over to the blockchain, facilitated by @OndoFinance, @Aptos_Network, and @ThalaLabs.
