KuCoin Institutional Strengthens OES Framework with Asseto's CASH+ and Expanded RWA Collateral Support

Enabling institutional clients to unlock yield-bearing collateral with greater capital efficiency

PROVIDENCIALES, Turks and Caicos Islands, April 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- KuCoin Institutional today announced the integration of Asseto's flagship product, CASH+, into its institutional collateral framework, further expanding its real-world asset (RWA) collateral infrastructure through the Off-Exchange Settlement (OES) program and RWA Collateral Mirroring Solution (RCMS). The integration enhances the range of recognized collateral available to institutional clients, enabling them to obtain stablecoin-equivalent trading credit while continuing to benefit from underlying yield exposure. It also underscores KuCoin Institutional's ongoing efforts to lead the development of more capital-efficient, institution-ready infrastructure at the intersection of tokenized real-world assets and digital asset markets.

As part of its institutional innovation roadmap, KuCoin Institutional has introduced the RWA Collateral Mirroring Solution (RCMS), becoming the first global exchange to offer this solution under a broad global framework and enabling institutions to mirror high-grade real-world asset holdings into trading collateral via stablecoin equivalents without transferring ownership. By supporting products such as tokenized money market funds, RCMS further enhances KuCoin Institutional's ability to bridge traditional finance with digital asset liquidity, while expanding the scope and flexibility of its OES collateral framework.

CASH+: An Institutional-Grade Money Market Yield Token

CASH+ is the first flagship RWA product launched on Asseto, providing 1:1 exposure to units of the CMS USD Money Market Fund, I Class, managed by CMS Asset Management (HK) Co., Limited, a subsidiary of China Merchants Securities. Each token's net asset value directly tracks the underlying fund, offering investors a fully-backed gateway to professional money market returns through blockchain rails.

CASH+ provides institutional participants with a compelling alternative to holding idle stablecoins. With an annualized yield of 3.5 to 4%, each token is fully backed 1:1 by underlying fund units and undergoes regular independent proof-of-reserve attestations. CASH+ combines the yield of a traditional money market product with the accessibility of an on-chain asset, supporting 24/7 trading and deployed on both Ethereum and BNB Chain.
