Animoca Brands and ProvLabs today announced partnership to co-develop NUVA, a marketplace for tokenized real-world assets that aims to standardize listings and secondary trading across categories, including real estate. The teams say NUVA will connect issuers and investors through a unified, multi-chain “vault” model focused on compliant access and liquidity.
The platform will debut with two vaults tied to Figure Technologies products—YLDS, a U.S. SEC-registered yielding stablecoin, and HELOCs backed by home-equity loans—running on Provenance Blockchain. Animoca and ProvLabs also outlined launch details, including a planned Q4 2025 start and a $NUVA utility token for governance and rewards.
Industry coverage has reported launch, saying NUVA seeks to fix a “fragmented” RWA market by offering institutional-grade assets and clearer routes to secondary trades. That approach could help real-estate issuers bring property-linked cash flows to a wider pool of buyers.
“Tokenized RWAs are fragmented across chains and marketplaces, limiting their reach and impact. Together with NUVA, we want to make institutional-quality assets radically more accessible,” said Yat Siu, co-founder and executive chairman of Animoca Brands. Anthony Moro, CEO of ProvLabs, called the tie-up “the partnership the RWA industry has been waiting for,” pointing to Provenance’s large on-chain asset base.
Tokenization lets people buy small digital shares linked to assets such as buildings, loans or rent streams. Standard rules for listings and identity checks can make these shares easier to trade and audit. If NUVA meets its timetable, early vaults in credit and stable-income products could be followed by real-estate exposure, giving both retail and institutions faster, lower-cost access to property-backed investments.
