Re Expands Institutional Offerings on Avalanche with New Reinsurance Yield Products and Points Program
NEW YORK, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Re, a decentralized reinsurance infrastructure platform, has expanded its presence on Avalanche with the introduction of two new institutional-grade onchain yield products — reUSD (Basis-Plus) and reUSDe (Insurance Alpha) — along with the debut of the Re Points Program.
This milestone builds on Re's mission to connect global capital markets with the speed, transparency, and composability of blockchain technology. By leveraging Avalanche's high-performance network, Re is making it easier to access fully collateralized, compliant financial products rooted in real-world insurance markets.
Institutional Grade Products on Avalanche
Re's newest offerings give capital allocators exposure to the economics of regulated insurance markets through a permissioned, onchain framework:
reUSD (Basis-Plus): Generates yield from T-bills and delta-neutral ETH basis strategies. Features Curve liquidity, forthcoming direct redemptions, and is remote from insurance risk.
reUSDe (Insurance Alpha): Backed by fully collateralized underwriting of U.S. insurance lines such as homeowners, auto, and workers' compensation, with transparent onchain tracking and built-in liquidity options.
Both tokens are KYC/AML-gated, integrated with Avalanche-native DeFi protocols, and designed to meet institutional compliance standards.
Karn Saroya, CEO of Re, said:'Onchain institutional capital is looking for transparent, sustainable yield sources, and we believe reinsurance is DeFi's most compelling new category. By launching on Avalanche, we can deliver real-world returns with onchain speed, composability, and compliance. The Re Points Program gives early participants an additional way to share in the upside of this new financial infrastructure.'
Re Points Program: Incentivizing Early Participation
Launched alongside the new products, the Re Points Program rewards ecosystem participants for:
Allocating to reUSD and reUSDe via Re's dApp
Participating in Pharaoh Exchange and Blackhole Curve liquidity pools
Points earned today will contribute to future rewards and incentive mechanisms, offering an additional way for early participants to benefit from engaging with Re's onchain ecosystem.
Connecting Capital Across A Broader Institutional DeFi Ecosystem
Re's new products are designed to operate within Avalanche's growing network of institutional-grade DeFi applications — where traditional market strategies can be executed with blockchain speed and transparency.
Through integrations with Pharaoh Exchange, Blackhole, Ethena and Pendle Finance, participants can access flexible trading strategies, liquidity options, and composable onchain infrastructure, all while maintaining the compliance and oversight expected by regulated markets.
By bridging fully collateralized insurance products with Avalanche's high-performance network, Re is helping create a more connected financial ecosystem — one that blends the trust of established capital markets with the innovation of decentralized finance.
'Avalanche is the ideal foundation for innovative real-world asset strategies. Re's new offerings demonstrate how regulated financial products can integrate seamlessly into blockchain ecosystems, enabling institutional adoption while expanding opportunities for builders and communities,' said Eric Kang, Head of DeFi at Ava Labs.

CoinW Completes Major Platform Upgrade, Entering a New Era in the Future of Trading
HONG KONG, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As digital assets and decentralized technologies evolve at a rapid pace, user expectations for trading platforms have grown from simple transactions to a comprehensive, all-scenario, all-asset, and all-mode experience. Integrated ecosystems are fast becoming the industry's defining trend. CoinW, one of the world's leading cryptocurrency asset trading platforms, today announced the completion of a full-scale upgrade to its platform architecture and business framework. This milestone unites CoinW's diversified investments and ecosystem initiatives worldwide, spanning centralized and decentralized trading, foundational public chain infrastructure, and institutional-grade services, into a fully interconnected global digital asset ecosystem. The result is a high-performance, secure, and flexible environment for both asset management and trading. From Fragmented to Unified: A New Chapter in the Future of Trading For over a decade, digital asset exchanges have been the primary gateway to the blockchain world. Each major leap forward has come from innovation in trading models and improvements in user experience. Early platforms relied on centralized matching, offering high efficiency and liquidity but limited decentralization, with assets in full custody by the platform. As market needs grew, exchanges expanded to spot, derivatives, earn, Launchpad, and other services, creating the foundation of a multi-faceted product ecosystem. The rise of DeFi brought unique advantages in asset self-custody and on-chain transparency, attracting a surge of users and capital. To balance liquidity, efficiency, and autonomy, many platforms began integrating CEX and DEX capabilities, allowing users to switch freely between them. However, the growing diversity of on-chain assets, increasing demand for cross-chain trading, and large-scale institutional participation have revealed the limits of this hybrid model. Data silos, restricted asset flows, and inefficient strategy execution now hinder the user experience. The market needs a new platform architecture that delivers truly seamless, borderless trading. CoinW's full-stack integration upgrade answers this demand. Built on a unified account system and strategy engine, the platform deeply combines trading, settlement, custody, and assetization. It introduces AI-driven strategy execution and cross-scenario asset access, enabling smooth collaboration across asset classes, trading modes, and market environments. Both individuals and institutions can now deploy strategies, trade assets, and grow portfolios in one connected system. This upgrade is not only a technological and operational leap—it marks a milestone as CoinW enters a new era in the Future of Trading. Three Core Features of the Upgraded CoinW Platform Strategy-Driven Execution: The system automatically routes between AMM and CLOB based on user behavior and market conditions, while assisting in optimizing order execution strategies. Multi-Scenario Asset Access: Supports on-chain settlement, MPC self-custody, and trading of diverse asset classes including RWA (such as government bonds, equities, gold, and REITs). Modular Functionality: Users can activate centralized, decentralized, or institutional trading modules as needed, with a unified account system ensuring seamless data and capital flows. Four Pillars Powering a Complete Ecosystem Following its full-stack integration upgrade, CoinW's investment and strategic ecosystem is now anchored by four core pillars. Each pillar offers a complete suite of functions and services, designed to address the diverse needs of different user segments in trading and asset management. Backed by a unified infrastructure, data and assets can move seamlessly across multiple scenarios, chains, and asset classes—ensuring a consistent user experience and efficient resource allocation. This 'clear division of roles, unified architecture, and unified account system' approach delivers greater flexibility and scalability across the entire ecosystem. CoinW Integrated Trading Platform: Operating in over 200 countries and regions, supporting a wide range of mainstream and long-tail trading pairs. The platform leverages AI strategy tools and multi-layer risk controls to deliver intelligent order routing and optimized matching, providing users with an efficient and secure trading experience in a centralized environment. GemW On-Chain Asset Aggregation Platform: Aggregates high-potential and long-tail on-chain assets. Users can trade instantly without configuring a wallet or holding gas tokens — simply by entering a contract address. Powered by the LENS model, the platform combines on-chain data, social sentiment, and project analysis to help users identify promising assets. DeriW Public Blockchain Infrastructure: Built on a Rollup architecture with processing capacity of up to 80,000 TPS, enabling zero-gas perpetual futures trading and transparent on-chain matching. It also offers high-yield LP liquidity pools to deliver an efficient, transparent, and low-cost on-chain trading experience. PropW Proprietary Trading Platform: Designed for professional traders and institutional investors, offering quantitative trading tools, API access, flexible risk management solutions, and cross-market strategy support. The platform meets the demands of high-frequency and large-volume trading, providing an institutional-grade experience within a unified account system. 'Digital asset services are evolving from single-point trading to full-stack ecosystems, with increasing demand for cross-scenario liquidity and consistent user experiences,' said Nassar Al Achkar, Chief Strategy Officer of CoinW. 'Through a unified account system, we eliminate the boundaries that restrict asset management. This reflects not only our commitment to enhancing the user experience but also our strategic vision for global ecosystem synergy. CoinW is dedicated to building the financial gateway of the future, delivering a seamless and sustainable digital asset service.' Looking ahead, CoinW will continue to expand the range of supported on-chain assets, advance its AI strategy engine, and improve multi-chain and cross-scenario integration. As digital assets become an integral part of global financial infrastructure, CoinW will leverage its unified account system and full-stack architecture to provide a smooth, efficient, and secure service experience. More than just an upgrade, it marks the official dawn of the 'Future of Trading.' About CoinW Founded in 2017, CoinW has grown into one of the world's leading cryptocurrency asset trading platforms, serving a vast and diverse global user base. The platform offers intelligent trading services, with a daily trading volume exceeding $5 billion and a consistent top 4 ranking in CoinMarketCap's futures markets.
