KuCoin Integrates FUSD with RCMS, Enabling Institutions to Leverage Yield-Bearing Assets

KuCoin, a leading global cryptocurrency exchange, has partnered with FinChain to integrate FUSD into its RWA Collateral Mirroring Solution (RCMS). This partnership enables eligible institutional users to connect yield-bearing FUSD, backed by real-world assets such as money market funds and highly rated government bonds, directly to their KuCoin trading accounts without needing to sell or transfer it first.

RCMS is an off-exchange collateral infrastructure for institutional clients that maps collateral value within the platform's framework. With FUSD now integrated, institutions can use it both as a yield-bearing asset and trading collateral, reducing the trade-off between earning yield and accessing liquidity.

KuCoin's Head of Global Business Development - VIP & Institutional Business, Tika Lum, stated, 'For tokenized assets to become integral components of market infrastructure, issuance and holding alone are insufficient. They must be used safely within prudent risk management frameworks.' Chen Zhao, CEO of FinChain, added that their focus is on utilizing FUSD within real-world trading infrastructure, enabling it to convert its underlying asset backing into usable collateral value while preserving yield-bearing performance.

The integration of FUSD into RCMS expands the range of yield-bearing RWA assets supported by KuCoin and further solidifies its role as a provider of institutional market infrastructure. Both parties will continue working together on collateral eligibility assessment, custody connectivity, risk parameters, and offshore market expansion.
