Archax has introduced real-time cash-flow payments for tokenized securities on Hedera, allowing interest to be paid to investor wallets in USDC almost second by second.
The rollout gives tokenized securities a faster income layer by letting payments update as ownership changes. It also gives Hedera another institutional use case beyond token issuance and secondary trading.
Yield Updates as Securities Change Hands
The new system updates interest payments inside investor wallets as tokenized securities change hands. When a security is traded, the linked cash flow adjusts based on where the asset is held. That differs from traditional securities income, which is usually paid on fixed schedules.
Archax is testing a model where ownership and yield move together, reducing the delay between trade execution and the investor’s economic benefit. The setup also works with fractionalized assets. If a tokenized security is split into smaller units, the related payments can be divided the same way.
USDC Pays Interest on Hedera Wallets
Archax said payments are made directly to investor wallets using Circle’s USDC stablecoin on Hedera. That gives the income stream a dollar-based settlement leg on the same network used for the tokenized security. The design could support more than interest payments.
Hedera said the same cash-flow system may be used for coupon payments, revenue distribution, usage-based payments and other settlement models that need continuous payout mechanics. For institutions, the feature reduces reliance on batch processing and manual reconciliation.
Hedera System Supports Coupon Payouts
The cash-flow layer is meant to make tokenized securities more useful after issuance. A tokenized fund or debt product can become more practical if income updates automatically instead of waiting for fixed payment windows.
That gives issuers another way to connect token ownership with the economic rights attached to the asset.
Archax Cites 100 Assets and $300M on Hedera
Archax has already used Hedera for tokenized money market funds and other regulated assets. Hedera’s case study says Archax has worked with six asset managers, more than 100 tokenized assets and over $300 million in tokenized value on the network.
The platform has also worked on pooled token products, which package tokenized assets into on-chain portfolio structures. The new cash-flow feature adds a payment layer to that earlier tokenization work.
Archax remains focused on professional and institutional investors, with services covering issuance, trading and custody.
