NUVA Expands Global Distribution of Institutional Blockchain Assets on Ethereum

NUVA, a marketplace connecting institutional-grade blockchain assets to Ethereum's decentralized finance (DeFi) markets, has been launched by Animoca-backed Nuva Labs. The platform provides users with access to tokenized assets from Figure Technologies, which are worth $19 billion.

The launch of NUVA includes two flagship vaults: one linked to a Treasury-linked yield stablecoin and another tied to a pool of home equity lines of credit with over $16 billion funded to date. This expansion is expected to contribute significantly to the growth of tokenized real-world assets onchain, which has already surpassed $12 billion by March 2026.

Users can deposit stablecoins into NUVA vaults and receive ERC-20 tokens representing ownership in the underlying assets. These tokens can then be traded, lent, or posted as collateral across Ethereum-based protocols, turning institutional credit products into composable DeFi instruments.
