We are pleased to announce that OpenEden has achieved a significant milestone, surpassing $50 million in Total Value Locked (“TVL”) for our tokenized US Treasury Bills.
This achievement reflects the growing confidence in our approach to bringing yields from real-world assets (“RWA”) on-chain.
We’re Built Different
Providing a reliable source of on-chain yield is easier said than done.
The assets backing our TBILL tokens are invested in US Treasury and Reverse Repurchase Agreements collateralized by US Treasuries, and minters are subject to stringent KYC/AML screening to ensure the highest security and regulatory compliance standards.
Our best-in-class infrastructure is built with the following attributes:
- Bankruptcy-remote structure (i.e. no counterparty risk)
- First native on-chain Vault for 24/7 settlement
- Tier-1 jurisdiction investment management entity in Singapore
- Regulated token issuer (i.e. prospectus-based)
- Multiple use cases for TBILL (i.e. collateral for trading)
We recently also welcomed Wayne Tan as our General Counsel, in charge of legal and compliance at OpenEden. Wayne’s appointment brings a wealth of experience having previously served as the Head of Legal at Sygnum Bank in Singapore.
We’ve recently received the second-highest possible rating for an independent audit conducted by one of the Big Four accounting firms.
Last week, OpenEden also became the first and only tokenized US Treasury product to receive an investment-grade “A” rating from Moody’s.
But our efforts have paid off.
Strong Institutional Adoption
Just in the past week alone, we have seen robust inflows of over $15 million in TVL to mint OpenEden’s TBILL tokens following Moody’s rating action.
On Monday, the Committee tasked to help diversify Arbitrum DAO’s treasury recommended allocating 4 million ARB tokens, worth around US$3.25 million at the time of writing, to purchase OpenEden’s TBILL tokens.
Arbitrum’s Stable Treasury Endowment Program (STEP) Committee, selected OpenEden’s TBILLs from over 30 proposals submitted for their consideration.
We are proud to have attracted a wide range of institutional clients, including foundations, corporate treasuries, and buy-side funds, contributing to a stable and diversified user base.
OpenEden’s TBILL token has the highest number of institutional holders (i.e. with a minimum of USD 50k) and amongst the lowest concentration risk (i.e. top 5 holders) of all the tokenized treasuries available.

“To be awarded an investment grade rating from one of the most conservative and largest tradfi credit rating agencies in the world alongside an independent audit from a Big Four accounting firm have clearly validated the monumental breakthrough the OpenEden team has made for the RWA sector today. In my mind, this puts them on a path to becoming the “BlackRock” of crypto.
