London, UK – July 6, 2026 – RealFi, a stablecoin infrastructure platform focused on connecting on-chain capital with real-world fixed-income markets, today announced the launch of its Public Testnet, marking the next phase in the rollout of USDr, its dollar-pegged stablecoin, and sUSDr, the yield-bearing token that staking unlocks.
The Public Testnet will serve as a live environment for users, developers, and institutional participants to test RealFi’s infrastructure ahead of its planned mainnet launch later this year. The release forms part of a broader effort to address what RealFi describes as one of the digital asset sector’s largest inefficiencies: the vast amount of stablecoin capital sitting idle across exchanges, wallets, and treasury accounts.
USDr is the protocol’s liquid, non-yield-bearing base stablecoin. Holders who choose to stake USDr receive sUSDr, a separate yield-bearing instrument. Yield accrues to sUSDr from a reserve of real-world financial instruments including money market funds, corporate floating rate bonds, and direct lending to fintech, rather than relying on crypto-native token incentives or inflationary emissions models.
RealFi is targeting sUSDr yields of up to 9% APY through a reserve-backed structure intended to prioritize sustainability, transparency, and capital efficiency. Yields are indicative, variable, and not guaranteed.
The Testnet launch introduces the first public version of RealFi’s infrastructure stack, allowing participants to explore wallet integrations, yield mechanics, staking flows, and broader protocol functionality under live market conditions.
“Stablecoins have become one of the most important pieces of infrastructure in digital finance, but most of the capital sitting inside them remains economically unproductive,” said John O’Connor, CEO of RealFi.
The launch comes as institutional interest in tokenized real-world assets and yield-bearing stablecoin models continues to accelerate globally.
