About Nuva Labs
Nuva Labs is a technology provider focused on real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Its core product is the NUVA platform, a cross-chain vault marketplace that brings institutional-grade assets on-chain. The platform currently offers two main vaults: nvYLDS, which tracks short-term U.S. Treasury yields, and nvPRIME, which provides exposure to tokenized home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). The underlying assets, valued at approximately $19 billion, originate from Figure Technologies' Provenance Blockchain.
The key value proposition is making traditionally illiquid assets, such as housing-related credit, accessible to retail users in a transparent and composable way. By leveraging blockchain technology and Chainlink's data infrastructure for tamper-proof valuations, NUVA addresses the pain points of high entry barriers, lack of liquidity, and opacity in traditional private credit markets. It solves the problem of connecting legacy financial systems with decentralized finance (DeFi) by offering tokenized exposure that can be used within the broader Ethereum ecosystem.
In the past six months (March to September 2026), Nuva Labs launched the NUVA platform on Ethereum mainnet in May 2026 and adopted Chainlink as its exclusive data infrastructure to support pricing and collateral valuation for its housing-related asset vaults. This marks a significant step in bringing Provenance's existing tokenized credit ecosystem to a wider DeFi audience.
Over the past six months (2026-03-07 to 2026-09-07), Nuva Labs has made significant strides. In May 2026, NUVA launched on Ethereum mainnet as an institutional-grade RWA marketplace, co-created by Animoca Brands and Nuva Labs. The platform offers non-custodial vaults with initial assets nvYLDS (backed by SEC-registered YLDS) and nvPRIME (backed by HELOC loans). It also secured a $5.2 million seed round led by Morgan Creek Digital, with participation from Ulu Ventures. Additionally, Nuva adopted Chainlink as its exclusive data infrastructure provider for asset valuation and collateral pricing. Looking ahead, the roadmap focuses on expanding to multiple blockchain ecosystems, onboarding more asset issuers, and launching a NUVA utility token to further decentralize governance and incentivize participation. The team aims to disrupt traditional alternative asset platforms by creating a unified, direct marketplace for top-tier RWAs.
