NUVA Digital has successfully completed a US$5.2 million seed funding round led by Morgan Creek Digital to enhance its RWA marketplace platform, NUVA. This platform serves as a non-custodial, unified distribution layer for high-quality real-world asset vaults, allowing users to deposit stablecoins and mint liquid tokens that provide yield. The platform emphasizes transparency and DeFi composability with on-chain proof of reserves, without imposing minimum deposit requirements or lockups.
The new funds will be used to accelerate the development of the NUVA platform, expand the curated vault marketplace, integrate additional issuers, deploy on multiple chains, develop institutional tools, and prepare for the launch of the NUVA utility token. This financial boost is a significant step as NUVA moves from early development to scaling its total value locked and increasing user adoption in the tokenized RWA sector.
Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands, highlighted the potential of tokenized RWAs to unlock liquidity and accessibility for institutional-quality assets, envisioning a market value in the trillions within a decade. He praised NUVA’s marketplace model for addressing fragmentation by offering a unified experience for accessing top-tier RWA vaults.
Anthony Moro, CEO of NUVA Digital, emphasized the demand for a neutral platform that provides vaults from leading curators and asset managers without adding custody or origination risk. He stated that the new funding will help NUVA enhance user experience, increase issuer participation, and strengthen composability for NUVA vaulted assets across DeFi.
