Binance has launched RWUSD, a new principal-protected yield product offering up to 4.2% APR benchmarked against tokenized U.S. Treasury bills and other real-world assets.

The APR is flat across all deposit sizes, with no tiered rates or limits on subscription amounts up to $5 million per user. RWUSD begins accruing rewards the day after subscription, based on the lowest daily balance held. Distribution occurs two days after the subscription, and rewards are only issued for balances above 0.01 RWUSD. Redemption timing varies by method: Fast Redemption delivers USDC instantly, while Standard Redemption…
