This week, the firm announced that its U.S. Dollar Yield Token, known as USDY, is now live on the Sei Network.
USDY is a permissionless token backed by short term U.S. Treasuries and cash equivalents. In simple terms, it gives holders dollar based exposure with built in yield, similar to earning interest on government debt, but through a blockchain wallet. By bringing USDY to Sei, Ondo is pairing institutional grade yield with one of the fastest layer 1 blockchains in the market.
Why Sei Matters for Tokenized Treasuries
Sei is designed for speed. Its architecture allows transactions to settle almost instantly, with many operations processed at the same time. For users, this means moving assets, trading, or using DeFi apps without long waits or high friction.
With USDY now native to Sei, investors can hold a yield bearing dollar asset while benefiting from fast execution. This matters because tokenized Treasuries are gaining traction. According to data from RWA.xyz, the total value of tokenized U.S. Treasuries surpassed 3 billion dollars in 2024, growing several times over in just a year. The trend reflects rising demand for stable, yield producing assets onchain, especially during periods of market uncertainty.
USDY, Ondo’s flagship tokenized U.S. Treasury token, is now live on @SeiNetwork.

A real world example helps clarify the appeal. Imagine a startup based outside the United States that holds cash for payroll. Instead of parking funds in a low interest account, it could hold USDY on Sei, earn Treasury backed yield, and still move funds quickly when needed. No traditional broker or bank account is required.
