Clearpool’s Ozean Expands RWA Access Through PortUSD Integration with BounceBit

• Ozean partners with BounceBit to expand real-world asset access through PortUSD integration.
• BounceBit integrates PortUSD into its RWA Vaults to offer yield from real economic activity.
• Clearpool’s Ozean project aims to streamline RWA adoption with Optimism’s Superchain support.

Clearpool’s new blockchain project, Ozean, is advancing real-world asset (RWA) integration in decentralized finance (DeFi) through a new collaboration with BounceBit. Ozean announced that PortUSD, its RWA token offering, will be incorporated into BounceBit’s RWA Vaults.

BounceBit, a CeDeFi infrastructure provider with over $500 million in unincentivized Total Value Locked (TVL), will add PortUSD to its yield-generating products. This move will offer broader access to tokenized real-world assets, combining traditional financial instruments with blockchain-native solutions.

Ozean is being developed to address gaps in RWA adoption within DeFi, providing compliant and user-friendly infrastructure. Built using the OP Stack and part of Optimism’s Superchain, Ozean focuses on enabling users to earn native yield on stablecoins by connecting them directly to tokenized real-world investments.

BounceBit Integrates PortUSD into Its Growing RWA Vault Ecosystem

BounceBit operates a dual-token Proof-of-Stake Layer 1 network secured by Bitcoin and its native token, $BB. Its model blends centralized finance (CeFi) structures with decentralized finance (DeFi) opportunities, aiming to offer institutional-grade financial products. The platform supports liquidity custody tokens (LCTs), allowing users to participate in restaking activities and access tokenized RWAs.

With the integration of PortUSD into its RWA Vaults, BounceBit plans to bring yield directly from real-world economic activity into its DeFi environment. According to BounceBit founder Jack Lu, the collaboration with Ozean is a major step toward delivering secure and sustainable returns for users, backed by real economic assets.

PortUSD serves as the token representation of a user’s share in Port, the first Exchange-Traded Pool (ETP) launched by Ozean. Port pools a mix of illiquid RWAs and liquid yield-generating instruments such as U.S. Treasury bills. Operating similarly to traditional Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), Port’s structure offers investors increased liquidity while maintaining diversified asset exposure within a decentralized ecosystem.

Ozean Strengthens Infrastructure for On-Chain Real-World Assets

According to the report, Ozean’s mission is to overcome the broken conditions of current RWA protocols by creating a streamlined, scalable infrastructure. Its platform will allow stablecoin holders to earn native yield from real-world economic instruments without relying on intermediary layers. By doing so, it seeks to enable broader user participation and improve liquidity across blockchain-based financial markets.

Jakob Kronbichler, CEO and Co-founder of Ozean, emphasized that the BounceBit partnership advances Ozean’s goal of expanding access to tokenized real-world assets in DeFi. The integration will also draw all these opportunities into a fully EVM compliant platform, thus enabling easy usability and security.

The company got established in March 2022 and has disbursed more than $750 million in both the virtual currency and the conventional financial sectors. The launch of PortUSD and the adoption of the coin by BounceBit are the new additions to the trend of incorporating the yields of traditional finance to decentralized spheres.
