Continuous Pricing for USDY Is Now Live, Enabling Intraday Yield

RWA Signal Insight
U.S. TreasuriesOndo Finance has transitioned its USDY tokenized Treasury product to a continuous pricing model, moving away from the industry-standard daily price updates. By calculating yield in real time, USDY now allows holders to capture interest for exact holding durations, including weekends and holidays. This update enables fintech apps, neobanks, and capital allocators to manage operational balances with intraday precision rather than being restricted to 24-hour cycles. To facilitate this, Ondo introduced the USDY Oracle Wrapper, which serves as a drop-in replacement for existing integrations across various blockchain platforms. While the legacy oracle remains active until the end of 2026, the new system ensures that every wallet and protocol sees yield accrued up to the exact second of access. This development addresses a significant friction point in tokenized assets, where short-term holding periods previously risked losing yield to daily reset cycles or swap slippage. With over $2.3 billion in total value as of October 2026, USDY continues to solidify its position as a leading tokenized Treasury product. This shift highlights the broader RWA market's evolution toward infrastructure that supports 24/7, high-frequency financial operations.

Background
USDY is a tokenized note issued by Ondo Finance that is secured by short-term U.S. Treasuries and bank demand deposits. It is designed to provide institutional-grade yield to non-U.S. investors while maintaining the liquidity and accessibility of an ERC-20 token. The protocol functions by wrapping real-world debt instruments into a blockchain-native format, allowing for 24/7 minting and redemption.
