Backed Finance
Backed Finance is a Swiss-regulated issuer of on-chain tokens backed 1:1 by real-world financial assets including US Treasury bonds, equity ETFs, and individual company stocks. Backed's bTokens are fully transferable ERC-20 tokens that track the price of their underlying TradFi asset, enabling DeFi protocols on HyperEVM to offer exposure to traditional financial markets within their yield strategies and collateral frameworks. For Hyperliquid's RWA perps vision, Backed provides the underlying tokenized assets that power perpetual trading on real-world equities and bonds directly on-chain. Backed's regulatory compliance in Switzerland ensures that institutional participants can interact with these tokens in a legally compliant manner, bridging the gap between TradFi and the Hyperliquid DeFi ecosystem. Its transparent reserve model and regular audits provide confidence for protocols that wish to use tokenized stocks as collateral or reference assets for derivatives.
