On Feb. 12, OKX Ventures announced a strategic investment in STBL, a stablecoin and yield infrastructure provider.
At the same time, STBL said it is partnering with Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE) and Securitize to launch a real-world-asset-backed stablecoin on X Layer, OKX’s EVM-compatible Layer 2 blockchain.
Hamilton Lane is a global private markets investment firm. Securitize provides regulated digital securities issuance and tokenization services.

The capital from OKX Ventures supports STBL’s mission to build money-as-a-service infrastructure and help ecosystems issue their own branded RWA-backed stablecoins.
“The collaboration strengthens the foundation for highly capital-efficient RWA products across the network,” said OKX Ventures founder Jeff Ren.
“Working with STBL and Hamilton Lane allows us to accelerate that mission and bring users a more mature RWA ecosystem,” he added.
The partnership aims to contribute to the evolution of blockchain-based financial infrastructure and bring together institutional private credit, regulated tokenization and programmable settlement infrastructure to advance regulated onchain financial products.
The asset framework behind the launch incorporates a feeder fund to Hamilton Lane's Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE), issued and tokenized via Securitize as an institutional-grade component within the broader collateral architecture.
The structure is designed to support scalable, regulated stablecoin issuance backed by tokenized RWAs, according to the statement.

STBL will also introduce the first Ecosystem-Specific Stablecoin (ESS) on X Layer, using its dual-token architecture to distinguish liquid settlement from yield generation.
STBL founder and CEO Dr. Avtar Sehra said, “STBL provides a purpose-built architecture for RWA-backed stablecoins combined with compliant yield management. Working with Hamilton Lane and OKX Ventures, we are seeking to unlock deeper liquidity, yield management and efficient utility across onchain ecosystems.”
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said, “By embedding institutional private credit directly into onchain money flows, we’re turning tokenized assets into functional building blocks: assets that can be settled, composed and used across financial applications, not just held.”
