Integrating EVOLVE, Velo, and Lightnet to unlock asset tokenization, PayFi clearing, and global financial inclusion
Velo Protocol today announced the development of the Velo Orbit Plus superapp, an integrated digital platform designed to reinvent how users and businesses interact with tokenized assets, stablecoins, and real-world value transfer. Orbit Plus marks a significant milestone in the Velo roadmap, developed in partnership with EVOLVE and Lightnet Group to power the tokenization and settlement of a new generation of real-world assets (RWAs).
Orbit Plus will serve as the gateway to the rapidly growing RWA ecosystem, developed by EVOLVE, Velo, and Lightnet, which are collaborating to bring real estate, undervalued financial assets, and next-generation sustainable infrastructure, including green energy and two-wheeled electric vehicle charging networks, to the blockchain.
The program originated in the Belt and Road corridor in Southeast Asia and aims to release liquidity for long-illiquid assets and broaden participation channels for global investors.
Orbit Plus will directly integrate with Velo’s PayFi network, enabling real-time settlement and frictionless conversion between tokenized RWAs, stablecoins, and fiat currencies. This will ensure that businesses, institutional partners, and retail users can freely and unimpededly move value across the ecosystem.
Leveraging Lightnet’s licensed global payment infrastructure and digital wallet technology, Orbit Plus will also support:
- Large-scale, low-cost cross-border clearing
- RWA Over-the-Counter (OTC) Trading
- Provide scalable financial services for trade and supply chains in the ASEAN market
This makes tokenized assets not only an investment category, but also can be used in real finance and trade.
By combining tokenized assets with stablecoins and regulated clearing rails, Orbit Plus improves transparency, capital availability, and market efficiency, particularly in the rapidly growing Belt and Road economies.
Orbit Plus embodies Velo's mission to connect traditional finance (TradFi) and decentralized finance (DeFi). This super app combines compliant financial infrastructure with intuitive technology to create a unified gateway for the global RWA economy, driving financial inclusion and innovation for both retail and institutional users.
