As a leading AI-driven fintech platform, the Company is dedicated to integrating AI across diverse scenarios, enabling millisecond-level risk control, hyper-personalized marketing, and seamless intelligent service experiences.

AI-Powered Transformation Across the Value Chain

In 2024, Yiren Digital advanced its “AI + Multi-use Cases” strategy, leveraging its proprietary high-performance AI models to enhance risk management, personalized marketing, and intelligent customer service. This resulted in sector-leading customer satisfaction rates of 94% in financial services, 98% in insurance brokerage, and 96% in lifestyle solutions.

In 2024, the Company’s self-developed Hawkeye anti-fraud model, combining AI automation with human oversight, intercepted 16,800 fraudulent loan applications and prevented losses of RMB 180 million. Additional manual interventions averted a further RMB 54.43 million in potential losses. Yiren Digital maintained rigorous information security standards and completed 37 security tests and successfully defended against millions of malicious scans and cyberattacks.

The Company also provided over RMB 86 billion in risk coverage for gig economy workers, including truck drivers and delivery personnel. In addition, it promoted insurance and philanthropy programs for child development and rural revitalization.

Leading the Green Transition

The Company reduced energy use and carbon emissions, with over 90% of the equipment in its Beijing offices being energy-efficient, and a 5% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions year-on-year. Strict lending restrictions were placed on business owners in high-emission sectors, with financing directed towards low-carbon industries, including support for new energy, high-efficiency technologies, resource recycling, and environmental monitoring. For example, in 2024, the Company facilitated loans totaling RMB88.48 million for 3,156 business owners in the energy-efficient industry and RMB16.46 million for 593 business owners in the environmental monitoring sector.

Binance integrates Tokenized Real-World Assets USYC and cUSDO into Off-Exchange Settlement Solutions

Largest crypto exchange will waive banking triparty fee and absorb institutional custody partner Ceffu’s MirrorX and MirrorRSV service fees until 2026 

DUBAI, UAE, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem behind the largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume and user base, is pleased to announce it will support tokenized yield-bearing assets USYC and cUSDO through Binance Banking Triparty as well as through its institutional custody partner Ceffu, giving institutional users the additional choice of holding USYC and cUSDO off-exchange while simultaneously enjoying seamless access to the Binance platform and receiving yield on their pledged collateral.

This integration expands the range of supported collateral for institutional users beyond traditional assets such as fiat currencies and Treasury bills on Binance Banking Triparty, and beyond native crypto assets such as bitcoin on Ceffu.

Tokenization of real-world assets excluding stablecoins has increased to $24 billion in June 2025 from $15.2 billion in December 2024, and is projected to reach up to 30% of traditional finance assets worth over $400 trillion by 2034, indicating a potential exponential growth of over 100x for crypto which currently has a market cap of $3 trillion.

“Our integration of tokenized real-world assets demonstrates our continued focus to enhance user experience on Binance. By supporting USYC and cUSDO on Binance Banking Triparty as well as through our custody partner Ceffu, we are offering our institutional clients more choices to optimize their capital efficiency while balancing risk control requirements,” said Catherine Chen, Head of Binance VIP & Institutional. “Tokenization of real-world assets enables users to benefit from the inherent properties of digital assets, such as faster and cheaper settlement, 24/7 availability, and on-chain transparency, and will unlock further crypto adoption.”

“This collaboration with Binance marks a meaningful advancement in how institutions can engage with tokenized real-world assets,” said Kash Razzaghi, Chief Business Officer at Circle. “By making USYC available as off-exchange collateral with yield potential, we’re bringing capital efficiency and risk-managed optionality to institutional investors—bridging traditional finance and blockchain-powered markets.”

“We’re entering a new phase of institutional crypto adoption, where compliance focused, yield-bearing assets like cUSDO are becoming central to how capital is deployed on-chain,” said Jeremy Ng, Founder and CEO of OpenEden. “cUSDO’s integration into Binance Banking Triparty and their custody partner Ceffu showcases how institutional-grade RWAs can deliver the capital efficiency and security needed to drive meaningful participation from institutions.”

USYC is the digital representation of interests in Hashnote International Short Duration Yield Fund Ltd, a tokenized money market fund (TMMF) registered in the Cayman Islands (the “Fund”). The Fund invests primarily in reverse repurchase agreements backed by U.S. government securities. The Fund offers near-instant redemption into USDC. USYC will also be natively issued on BNB Chain, increasing its on-chain accessibility to more users.

cUSDO is a wrapped version of OpenEden OpenDollar (“USDO”), a rebasing yield-bearing stablecoin issued by OpenEden Digital, a Bermuda-licensed and regulated entity. cUSDO and USDO let holders earn yield generated from reserves backed by U.S. Treasury bills and reverse repurchase agreements.

Binance’s Global and Growing Banking Triparty Coverage

Binance was the first crypto exchange to introduce a triparty banking solution modeled after traditional finance in 2023, enabling institutional clients to custody their trading collateral under their own corporate account with a network of regulated banking partners, while enjoying seamless access to Binance’s full suite of institutional solutions and unparalleled deep liquidity.

To meet demand, Binance has expanded its network of triparty bank partners to enable institutional clients worldwide to meet their risk controls and confidently enter crypto while scaling for growth. With Binance Banking Triparty, clients can scale their trading activity on Binance in line with their capital, directly enhancing liquidity on the exchange to benefit all users.

From now until 2026, Binance is waiving banking triparty fees and will also absorb Ceffu’s MirrorX and MirrorRSV service fees to help more institutions accelerate their adoption. Users interested in Binance’s off-exchange solutions can visit Binance Banking Triparty and Ceffu, or contact their Binance VIP & Institutional representative.
