Over the next three years, the WFP plans to test 2 to 3 payment channels connecting its payment system with local financial service providers and markets to assess the performance of stablecoin payments in terms of efficiency, transparency, and resilience.

According to CoinDesk, digital asset investment firm RockawayX announced an investment of $150 million to launch the Catapult program, aimed at bringing more private credit and other yield-generating real-world assets on-chain, betting that lending linked to the real economy will become one of the largest markets in the crypto space.The investment firm, which manages approximately $2 billion, stated that Catapult will provide venture capital, product structuring, liquidity, market making, and distribution support for tokenized credit products. RockawayX currently operates early-stage venture funds, market-neutral funds providing liquidity to DeFi protocols, and a vault business deploying about $300 million, and acquired the crypto hedge fund Relayer in August.According to RWA.xyz data, the scale of tokenized real-world assets such as bonds, stocks, and funds has rapidly grown to approximately $38 billion, but more than half of this is tokenized money market funds.

Catapult will focus on areas such as trade and supply chain finance, asset-backed securities, CLOs, and real estate-related credit.RockawayX CEO Viktor Fischer stated that following transactions, yields will become the largest application scenario on-chain, requiring new yield sources of over 12% that are uncorrelated with the crypto market. He pointed out that the appeal of bringing low-liquidity assets on-chain lies in the fact that even if the underlying investments have long redemption periods, market makers can create exit channels.
