R25, Utila and Yield.xyz Launch Institutional Gateway for Curated On-Chain Vaults

SINGAPORE, July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — R25, an on-chain vault infrastructure provider for the next generation of finance, announced a strategic integration with Utila, an enterprise-grade digital asset operations platform, and Yield.xyz, a self-custodial yield API.

The integration creates a secure, multi-party computation (MPC)-governed gateway designed to give institutions access to a suite of curated real-world asset strategies built on R25’s vault infrastructure. The first product available through the gateway is a three-month emerging-market consumer credit vault.

R25 said the collaboration connects its growing ecosystem of curated on-chain strategies directly with institutional custody and governance workflows. The companies said the integration is intended to address operational barriers facing treasury managers as institutional stablecoin holdings increase and treasury teams look to allocate across a broader range of strategies.

According to the announcement, fragmented approval processes and custody-related friction remain significant obstacles for institutions. MPC wallet infrastructure is commonly used to distribute signing authority and reduce reliance on a single private key, while policy controls can help treasury teams enforce approval rules and operational limits. By combining Yield.xyz’s standardized API connectivity with Utila’s MPC security, R25 said institutions can deploy capital into non-custodial, self-executing vaults without changing their existing risk and compliance frameworks.

The inaugural offering available through the new institutional gateway is Axil Prime Credit (APC), a three-month USDC vault that provides exposure to emerging-market consumer credit. The APC strategy is curated by Axil, an on-chain risk curation team that draws on portfolio curation and risk management experience from BlackRock, HSBC, and HashKey.

“At R25, our ultimate goal is to power the next generation of finance by making expert-curated yields universally accessible through a standardized, programmable infrastructure layer,” said Sean Chung, VP of Business Development of R25. “While we continue to expand our connectivity, building a risk-resistant execution layer is critical for institutional users. By partnering with Utila and Yield.xyz, we are ensuring that institutional liquidity can flow into our ecosystem with the highest standards of MPC security and policy control.”

Bentzi Rabi, Co-Founder and CEO of Utila, said institutional adoption of decentralized finance will depend on the ability to connect access to assets with treasury governance standards.

“DeFi adoption will depend on how effectively institutions can connect asset access with the governance standards already applied across their treasury,” Rabi said. “By combining R25’s curated vault infrastructure, Yield.xyz’s connectivity, and Utila’s MPC security and policy controls, this integration gives treasury teams a practical way to allocate capital to APC and future yield strategies within a controlled institutional workflow.”

The companies said the integration provides a streamlined route for institutions to evaluate and access the APC vault today. It also establishes a framework for additional curated vaults to become available within the Utila environment and the R25 ecosystem after relevant product and risk reviews, making those reviews and future vault additions the key items to monitor as the gateway develops.
