Pharos Network, the value discovery layer for the agent economy and real-world finance RealFi, today announced the completion of its integration with Fireblocks, with Fireblocks serving as its custody technology provider. Fireblocks is the platform relied upon by leading financial institutions worldwide to build on-chain financial businesses.
Through this integration, assets supported by Pharos will enter the existing custody environments of Fireblocks clients, allowing institutions to manage eligible assets under security policies, transaction controls, and approval workflows. The two parties will also conduct joint marketing efforts around the growth of the RWA ecosystem.
Institutional participation in on-chain markets requires custody, private key security, transaction authorization, and governance to align with their existing operating models. Through the Fireblocks integration, funds, asset management institutions, payment service providers, and exchanges already using Fireblocks can hold, transfer, and manage Pharos-supported assets within their current workspaces and systems.
This means the aforementioned institutions do not need to build separate custody and key management infrastructure, and institutional security, compliance, and treasury teams can participate in the Pharos ecosystem using familiar operational processes.
At the same time, configurable transaction policies, including smart contract whitelists and multi-party approvals, help institutions apply their existing authorization and governance requirements to eligible transactions.
The first batch of supported RealFi assets in this integration are all issued on the Pharos blockchain, including the tokenized U.S. high-yield credit product Raffaello NYLIM HYB Vault (pRNH) and the NYLIM Anemoy Fund.
At the same time, the first batch of support also covers Axil Prime Credit (APC) issued via the R25 Protocol, as well as the Pharos native token $PROS.
As of today, the scale of assets aggregated on the Pharos RWA platform has exceeded $241.64 million (approximately $241.64M), reflecting the diversified development of real-world asset strategies and financial products within the ecosystem.
At the custody layer, Fireblocks provides multi-party computation (MPC)-based private key management, as well as configurable transaction policies, including contract whitelists and multi-party approvals.
These control mechanisms constrain eligible transactions on Pharos in accordance with the policies and permissions already configured by each institution. For institutions, the integration provides another channel to access on-chain supported assets within their existing digital asset management environments.
For asset issuers and protocols on Pharos, this integration also opens a connection to a mature institutional-grade digital asset infrastructure platform, providing an additional access path for supported tokenized assets and bringing custody and transaction management closer to the workflows institutions need to hold and manage assets.
For the broader ecosystem, this includes credit strategies such as APC on the R25 Protocol, connecting tokenized real-world assets and on-chain credit markets with institutional digital asset infrastructure.
This integration also lays the foundation for longer-term collaboration between the two parties. Pharos and Fireblocks plan to collaborate on market expansion activities supporting the continued growth of tokenized real-world assets, including coordinated marketing, joint participation in industry events, and targeted introductions to help issuers and protocols reach institutional audiences more effectively.
These initiatives are expected to complement this technical integration and gradually contribute to the further expansion of the ecosystem.
"Institutions do not adopt new networks by rebuilding a technology stack; they adopt through the infrastructure they are already running," said Wish Wu, co-founder and CEO of Pharos.
Wish Wu further noted: "Integrating Fireblocks brings Pharos into a mature institutional-grade operating environment. Given that supported RealFi assets already exist on the network, institutions have a pragmatic starting point to access and manage real-world value on-chain."
