Arco × NUVA: Strategic Partnership
Arco is partnering with @NUVAFinance, the RWA marketplace co-incubated by @animocabrands and @NUVALabs, to bring NUVA's tokenized real-world assets to Korea.
NUVA's newly launched HOME token gives eligible users onchain exposure to a portfolio of US residential housing loans, including home equity lines of credit originated by @Figure and partners, starting from 1 USDC. Exposure to this asset class has historically required institutional channels such as securitizations or private credit funds. HOME brings it onchain as a composable ERC-20 token.
Through this partnership, Arco will serve as the distribution and allocation layer for NUVA's vaults on the GIWA chain, connecting them with Korean onchain users. Following the GIWA mainnet launch, we plan to introduce ArcoHOME, a dedicated HOME vault on Arco.
Korea is one of the most active crypto markets in the world, yet Korean investors have had few ways to access institutional-grade credit onchain. Together, NUVA and Arco aim to bridge real-world credit markets and onchain capital, starting with U.S. residential credit, and to make institutional-quality assets a native part of the onchain economy.
Korea is our first market, laying the foundation for broader expansion across Asia.
A token that mirrors an asset recorded elsewhere is only as reliable as the connection between the two.
At @NUVALabs, we believe the full potential of tokenization comes from a “digital in, digital out” approach, where asset creation, perfection, and management happen digitally from the outset, reducing reliance on separate records that need to stay reconciled.
More from @anthonymoro111 and others on the risks and evolution of tokenized markets below. 📷
A key risk in tokenization, says @NUVALabs CEO Anthony Moro (@anthonymoro111), is an “unclear connection between a token and the asset it represents.”
This is why HOME was designed to directly hold a portfolio of US mortgage loans and show what’s inside.

Animoca Brands and Franklin Templeton Collaborate to Expand Institutional Access to Tokenized Investments
Strategic program aims to accelerate institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets, and explores the co-design of tokenized cultural assets.
SAN MATEO / HONG KONG, October 9, 2026 — Franklin Templeton, a global investment manager and leader in digital asset innovation, and Animoca Brands, a global digital assets and AI company, today announced a strategic collaboration to bring tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) to @NUVAFinance, the Animoca Brands-backed vault marketplace.
The collaboration extends NUVA’s reach beyond its existing Provenance blockchain-based assets, unlocking access to institutional-grade assets from a broader base of asset issuers. Co-incubated by Animoca Brands and @NUVALabs, NUVA launched in May 2026 with vaults that unlock access to assets on the Provenance Blockchain, which holds over US$30 billion in total value locked as of 24 September 2026.
“The convergence of traditional finance and digital assets has gone from the theoretical to being a real infrastructure play. Franklin Templeton is a pioneer in tokenizing traditional financial assets, and this partnership allows us to integrate institutional-grade RWAs directly into NUVA’s vault architecture.” said Yat Siu @ysiu, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Animoca Brands. “By combining battle-tested asset management with decentralized distribution, Nuva is expanding how institutional investors access RWAs.”
The two firms have also launched a four-part, co-authored research series, which builds on Franklin Templeton’s decade-long commitment to expanding the utility of blockchain-enabled investment solutions within institutional workflows. The thought leadership series, now live at franklintempleton.com/tokeni… examines the strategic significance of tokenization for institutional investors, the developments that have brought the market to this point, and how tokenization is changing the way institutions evaluate assets and construct portfolios.
“Tokenization is moving beyond simply putting traditional assets on blockchain rails. The next phase is about expanding how those assets can be accessed, utilized and integrated into increasingly digital investment ecosystems,” said Sandy Kaul, Head of Digital Assets and Innovation at Franklin Templeton. “Our collaboration with Animoca Brands and NUVA reflects that evolution, combining Franklin Templeton’s investment expertise and experience building blockchain-enabled solutions with new channels for delivering those capabilities to investors.”
Franklin Templeton and Animoca Brands expect to build on these initiatives by exploring additional areas of collaboration, including opportunities for the co-design and tokenization of real-world cultural assets, with additional details expected later this year.

Another look inside "Demystifying DeFi Hacks", the invite-only webinar hosted by @animocabrands with @SteakhouseFi and NUVA back in July.
How is NUVA actually secured? @NUVALabs CEO @anthonymoro111 walks through the security architecture layer by layer.
- Access: 6-of-9 multisig, keys on hardware, no single key can upgrade or pause.
- Code: Audited by leading security firms, 48-hour timelock on every change, live bug bounty on @immunefi.
- Operations: 24/7 monitoring with auto pause in seconds, signers across three time zones, and no restart without a root cause review.
One framework runs through all of it. Any single key, person or vendor can fail, but the system stays standing.

From early RWA tokenization to market infrastructure at IEX and now at Nuva Labs, @CollinSellers has spent years working at the intersection of financial markets and blockchain.

Tokenizing an asset is only the first step.
RWA vaults add a new layer around tokenized assets, structuring exposure, expanding distribution, and making that exposure usable across DeFi.
So what exactly is an RWA vault, and when does it make sense to use one? We break it down in our latest article 👇

Getting an asset onchain is easy. Making it usable is the hard part.
Idle tokens in closed networks are museum pieces. Capital needs assets that move, compose, and show their backing.
@NUVALabs's @CollinSellers lays it out for @KernelTechNews 👇

We’ve brought 4000+ mortgage loans worth over $25M onchain with @NUVALabs on @provenancefdn
Our verification model lets investors check that every loan belongs in the pool and met the agreed rules, while borrower data stays private.
@TheBlockCo breaks down how ↓
Nuva Labs retweeted
A mortgage can change hands, be financed, repriced and packaged long after the borrower signs the paperwork.
Black Lake builds the infrastructure behind that market.
Between origination and investment, loans need to be underwritten, priced, financed, traded, transferred and serviced. Each step depends on accurate loan data and a clear understanding of the asset being bought or financed.
We build technology for institutions to source, value, trade, transfer and finance mortgage assets, from origination through secondary markets and into onchain financing.
The infrastructure we've built has already been put to work:
This year, we’ve launched platforms with institutions including Texas Capital, ACUMA, Ascendant Capital via the RESOLVE platform and CRA Marketplace via GATHER.
We worked with @NuvaLabs to mint and transfer more than 4,000 mortgage loans worth over $25 million on @provenancefdn
And most recently, we launched Harbor Verify, giving investors and lenders a way to independently check whether individual loans belong in a pool and meet its eligibility rules without seeing private borrower data.
There’s a lot more behind all of this, and that’s what we’ll get into here.
We’ll share what we’re building, break down how mortgage capital markets actually work, dig into the data we see across the market and show where onchain infrastructure fits into it.
“For real-world assets to properly function as financial assets, distribution is required.”
In an opinion piece for @KernelMediaCo, Nuva Labs VP of Solutions @CollinSellers explores why distribution remains one of the biggest challenges for RWAs and why it won’t simply emerge as a byproduct of more tokenization. 👇
We're excited to share that Collin Sellers of @NUVALabs shared this insightful piece with our Opinion Desk this week: kernel.news/2026/09/01/token…
"The industry proved that real-world assets can live onchain. Now, we need to show that those tokenized assets can actually behave like financial assets. This is the work that decides whether the RWA era has begun, or whether we’re just curators of a well-documented museum."
Bringing assets onchain is only the starting point. The bigger question is what the token actually represents: ownership, economic exposure, governance rights, or something else?
@NUVALabs' VP of Solutions, @CollinSellers, shares his perspective with @Blockleaders on why that distinction matters, where today’s biggest gaps remain, and why moving beyond digital twins toward digitally native assets is the bigger opportunity.
Thanks @jilliangodsil for bringing this discussion together.

Tokenization is only the starting point.
The real opportunity is making institutional-grade assets usable across DeFi.
