Amonica Brands Adopts Chainlink As Exclusive Data Infrastructure For Institutional RWA Suite

NUVA Taps Chainlink to Power Institutional RWA Platform

@NUVALabs, a venture co-created by @Animocabrands and Nuva Labs, has named @Chainlink as its exclusive data infrastructure provider as it looks to shift institutional private credit onto decentralized rails. The move signals a broader push by the platform to make high-grade financial assets accessible within the DeFi ecosystem.

Crypto Briefing reports that NUVA launched on Ethereum on May 13, 2026, leaning on Chainlink's oracle infrastructure to underpin the platform's core functions. The platform connects tokenized real-world assets from Figure Technologies' Provenance Blockchain directly into DeFi markets, with two flagship products sitting on top of an asset base valued at roughly $19 billion.

The integration opens with the debut of nvPRIME, a tokenized vault that gives on-chain investors exposure to short-term funding backed by U.S. residential mortgages and home equity lines of credit (HELOCs). According to CoinDesk, nvPRIME is tied to Figure's $18.4 billion HELOC portfolio and currently targets yields above 7%, though access is largely restricted to institutions and accredited investors. A companion product, nvYLDS, is a yield vault linked to YLDS, an SEC-registered stablecoin backed by short-dated Treasuries and bank deposits.

Why Chainlink Oracles Matter for Tokenized Credit

For tokenized credit products to function inside DeFi protocols, reliable on-chain pricing is essential. Chainlink's oracle network handles the valuation of NUVA's tokenized assets, feeding price data to the smart contracts that power collateralization and yield distribution. Without accurate oracle data, lending protocols cannot safely liquidate undercollateralized positions or calculate net asset values, making the choice of oracle provider a critical infrastructure decision.

Chainlink's growing role in institutional RWA markets is well documented. CoinPaprika notes that Chainlink's push model handles daily NAV feeds and cross-chain distribution for tokenized funds, and that the network secures roughly $110 billion in on-chain value. For NUVA, selecting a single exclusive provider rather than layering multiple oracle solutions reflects a deliberate architectural choice aimed at consistency and reliability across its vault products.

NUVA describes itself as a chain-agnostic vault marketplace designed to unlock permissionless access to institutional-grade real-world assets. The platform is backed operationally by Nuva Digital, a collaboration between Animoca Brands and Nuva Labs, and overseen by the NUVA Foundation.
