NEW YORK, NY – 14 Nov 2025 – R25, a protocol for institutional-grade asset-supported tokens and real-world assets (RWAs), today announced its official launch and its integration with Polygon as its first and preferred EVM chain partner. The collaboration introduces rcUSD+, a yield-bearing token supported by a portfolio of top-tier real-world assets—including money market funds—to the Polygon DeFi ecosystem.
This strategic integration brings a new class of institutional-grade, yield-bearing assets to millions of active users and developers in the Polygon ecosystem. rcUSD+ provides on-chain access to yield derived from a carefully curated and managed portfolio of top-quality RWA assets, all within the high-throughput, low cost environment of the Polygon network.
“The adoption of institutional-quality Real-World Assets is a critical next step in the maturation of DeFi,” said Sandeep Nailwal, CEO of Polygon. “We are thrilled to support R25’s launch on Polygon, as their rigorous approach to risk management and transparent, yield-bearing products will provide immense value to both users and the protocols building here.”
“Our mission is to build the most robust, institutional-quality structured products for the on-chain world,” said Jason Windawi, Chief Strategy Officer at R25. “Launching on Polygon allows us to bring these powerful DeFi primitives to an ecosystem that has pioneered innovations at the intersection of RWAs and DeFi, enabling a new wave of secure, yield-bearing instruments.”
The supporting assets picked by R25 are designed to provide robust protection for rcUSD holders. Its composable nature will allow it to be seamlessly integrated as collateral and a core yield-bearing component by the myriad of DeFi applications on Polygon, fostering new innovations and enhancing capital efficiency across the ecosystem.
By launching on Polygon, R25 unlocks access to traditional finance-inspired yield strategies for users, while accelerating its own ecosystem growth. Through Polygon’s extensive developer community, scalable infrastructure, and composable DeFi protocols, R25 aims to increase liquidity, enhance token utility, and drive institutional adoption of asset-backed token.
