Komainu Now Supports OUSG and USDY

Access to Secure, Yield-Bearing Options for Institutional Investors

Komainu, a regulated digital asset services provider and custodian, backed by Laser Digital, a Nomura company, has introduced custody support for two of Ondo’s flagship tokenized US Treasuries products—OUSG and USDY. Institutional investors can now deposit these yield-bearing assets within Komainu’s secure, regulated custody solution, allowing them to replace idle cash balances with a straightforward onchain alternative.

Bringing Institutional-Grade Assets to Institutional-Grade Custody

By bringing OUSG and USDY onto Komainu, institutions gain access to short-term, relatively low-risk yield opportunities underpinned by US Treasuries. Built for institutional investors, OUSG is a permissioned asset available to Qualified Purchasers, offering seamless exposure to short-term US Treasuries. While OUSG was initially backed by BlackRock’s USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL), it will soon leverage additional tokenized Treasuries from Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, Wellington Management, and Fundbridge Capital, and features 24/7/365 instant mint and redemption.

USDY is a quasi-permissionless yieldcoin for international, non-US investors, providing daily yield backed by short-term US Treasuries. Deployed across leading blockchain ecosystems, it merges stablecoin-like accessibility with institutional-grade protections and transparency.

Flexibility for Institutions

The onchain nature of these assets, as well as the composability and 24/7 mint and redemptions, offer users the agility of instant settlement and composable deployment across various onchain use cases, creating a level of cash management flexibility not previously offered. At the same time, Komainu’s institutional focus—grounded in robust security and regulatory standards—gives investors confidence that their digital holdings remain protected and compliant.

Use cases range from enhancing treasury management by earning daily yields on idle cash, to leveraging OUSG and USDY as collateral in lending or liquidity facilities. In each scenario, the combination of Komainu’s custody and Ondo’s yield-bearing tokens offers a practical way for institutions to feel comfortable participating in DeFi. This relationship aims to strike the balance of maintaining trusted safeguards from traditional finance while tapping into the speed and flexibility of blockchain-based assets.

Bringing Institutions Onchain

Support for OUSG and USDY on Komainu’s platform is a practical step in making real-world, yield-generating assets more accessible to institutional clients. As more asset managers and traditional finance participants explore onchain solutions, custody solutions like Komainu play an important role—providing the infrastructure needed to store and safeguard tokenized assets without compromising on compliance or risk management.

Komainu and Ondo share a mission of providing institutions with secure access to real-world assets onchain, supporting a growing number of regulated, yield-generating assets, and we are excited about the start of this institutional-grade relationship.
