Ondo Finance said that its U.S. Dollar Yield Token, USDY, is now live on BNB Chain with native support, instant minting and redemptions, and cross-chain bridging. The launch makes Treasury-backed dollar yield directly accessible inside BNB Chain’s DeFi ecosystem without requiring users to route assets through another network.
