According to CoinDesk, digital asset investment firm RockawayX announced an investment of $150 million to launch the Catapult program, aimed at bringing more private credit and other yield-generating real-world assets on-chain, betting that lending linked to the real economy will become one of the largest markets in the crypto space.The investment firm, which manages approximately $2 billion, stated that Catapult will provide venture capital, product structuring, liquidity, market making, and distribution support for tokenized credit products. RockawayX currently operates early-stage venture funds, market-neutral funds providing liquidity to DeFi protocols, and a vault business deploying about $300 million, and acquired the crypto hedge fund Relayer in August.According to RWA.xyz data, the scale of tokenized real-world assets such as bonds, stocks, and funds has rapidly grown to approximately $38 billion, but more than half of this is tokenized money market funds. RockawayX expects this market to reach $10 trillion to $20 trillion by 2030, a target higher than the $5.5 trillion benchmark forecast provided by Citigroup analysts. Catapult will focus on areas such as trade and supply chain finance, asset-backed securities, CLOs, and real estate-related credit.RockawayX CEO Viktor Fischer stated that following transactions, yields will become the largest application scenario on-chain, requiring new yield sources of over 12% that are uncorrelated with the crypto market. He pointed out that the appeal of bringing low-liquidity assets on-chain lies in the fact that even if the underlying investments have long redemption periods, market makers can create exit channels.
