EX.IO and Arco Team Up for Institutional RWA Distribution in Asia

EX.IO and Arco have joined forces to expand institutional access to tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) in Asia, starting with South Korea. The two companies signed a memorandum of understanding on September 15 to explore the distribution of RWAs across multiple networks.

The proposed collaboration will combine EX.IO's regulated product offering with Arco's multichain infrastructure, initially focusing on Korean institutional channels. EX.IO will provide tokenized U.S. Treasuries, money market funds, private credit, and fixed-income products to Arco, subject to regulatory approval.

Arco will serve as the on-chain distribution layer, connecting these products with qualified institutions, protocol treasuries, and DeFi liquidity across multiple networks. Both companies also plan joint research, events, and business-development efforts.
