Avalanche hosts Fosun Wealth’s yield-bearing RWA stablecoin

Avalanche has been selected as the launch network for FUSD, a new Asian yield-bearing, real-world asset (RWA)-backed stablecoin issued by FinChain, a blockchain finance platform under Fosun Wealth Holdings.

Announced on Feb. 9, the launch positions Avalanche as the primary on-chain home for a stablecoin designed specifically for regulated, institutional capital in Asia.

FUSD is backed by compliant financial assets, including money market funds and government bonds, and is structured to deliver native yield while remaining fully liquid and usable across decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

A yield-bearing stablecoin built for institutions

Unlike traditional stablecoins that rely on non-yielding reserves, FUSD is designed to pass through returns generated by its underlying assets.

These include high-liquidity money market funds from institutions such as BNY Mellon, ChinaAMC and Taikang.

The structure allows institutional holders to earn yield without sacrificing liquidity, enabling FUSD to function as a cash-management tool while remaining deployable across DeFi lending, trading and collateralization strategies.

FUSD is issued through Fosun Wealth’s Web3 platform and is purpose-built for family offices, private equity firms and pension funds that require transparency, regulatory alignment and rapid settlement.

Avalanche becomes the choice for FUSD stablecoin

FinChain selected Avalanche’s C-Chain as FUSD’s primary liquidity hub, citing the network’s ability to meet institutional requirements while operating on a public blockchain.

Avalanche offers sub-second transaction finality, which supports near-instant settlement cycles critical for professional treasury and cash-management operations.

The network’s existing DeFi liquidity also enables FUSD to integrate directly into established on-chain markets, positioning it as a high-velocity asset rather than a passive stablecoin.

Avalanche’s architecture supports permissioning, compliance tooling, and future application-specific deployments, making it suitable for regulated financial products that must operate across multiple jurisdictions.

“FUSD provides an unprecedented yield-bearing stable token for trillions of dollars in financial assets,” said Zhao Chen, CEO of FinChain. “By leveraging Avalanche, we are building a robust ecosystem for standardized financial assets that can move seamlessly across global markets.”

Expanding institutional RWA infrastructure in Asia

The FUSD launch is part of a broader strategy by Fosun Wealth Holdings to bring regulated Asian financial assets on-chain.

Beyond the stablecoin, the firm plans to deploy FinChain and the FinCoin Protocol on Avalanche, enabling end-to-end issuance, trading, and collateralization of tokenized RWAs.

According to Jacky Kong, head of Hong Kong at Ava Labs, the integration creates a pathway for Asian real-world assets to access global liquidity through blockchain infrastructure.

Avalanche has already seen growing institutional adoption across Asia, including initiatives in Japan and South Korea focused on tokenization, payments, and bank-backed stablecoins.

With FUSD launching in Hong Kong, Avalanche is now anchoring institutional RWA deployments across several of the region’s most influential financial markets, reinforcing its role as infrastructure for regulated on-chain finance.
