Franklin OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund

Woo X cryptocurrency exchange has launched tokenized United States Treasury Bills (T-Bills), claiming to be the first protocol to offer tokenized T-Bills for retail investors.
Woo X launched its real-world–asset (RWA) tokenization vaults, RWA Earn Vaults, enabling users to earn yield by holding Circle’s USD Coin (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/usdc-price-index">USDC</a>), according to an April 22 X <a href="https://twitter.com/opentrade_io/status/1782348754617602398" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">post</a>:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “With the RWA Earn Vaults, all @WOO_X users can now earn stable, predictable yield on their USDC holdings backed by U.S. Treasury Bills without having to jump through any extra hoops.”
</blockquote>
Backed solely by U.S. T-bills, RWA Earn Vaults offer between 4.5% and 4.7% annual percentage rate (APR) to USDC holders. According to the announcement:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “User subscriptions accumulate real yields, fully backed by U.S. Treasury Bills, with current APRs for 7-day and 28-day terms at ~4.5% and ~4.75% respectively.”

The yield-earning product was launched in partnership with OpenTrade, a London-headquartered tokenization platform backed by Circle.
Circle is the issuer of the world’s second-largest stablecoin, USDC, which has a $34 billion market cap, behind Tether’s (<a href="https://cointelegraph.com/tether-price-index">USDT</a>) with an over $109 billion market capitalization, <a href="https://coinmarketcap.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to CoinMarketCap data.

RWAs were the second most profitable narrative in the crypto space during the first quarter of 2024, according to a recent report by CoinGecko.&nbsp; CoinGecko analyst Lim Yu Qian said:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “The memecoin narrative was 4.6 times more profitable than the next best-performing crypto narrative of tokenized real-world assets (RWA) and 33.3 times more profitable than the layer 2 narratives with the lowest returns in Q1 this year.”

Showcasing the growing institutional interest in the RWA sector, the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, launched a <a href="https://cointelegraph.com/news/blackrock-begins-asset-tokenization-launch-digital-liquidity-fund">USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund</a> on March 20, tickered “BUIDL,” worth over $298 million at the time of writing, <a href="https://etherscan.io/token/0x7712c34205737192402172409a8f7ccef8aa2aec" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">according</a> to Etherscan.
