Rayls, the world's first layer 1 blockchain designed with RWA tokenization in mind, has selected AmFi, Brazil's largest private credit tokenization platform, for a strategic partnership. The partnership aims to tokenize over $1 billion in real-world assets on the Rayls network by June 2027, making it one of the largest institutional RWA projects to date.
Today marks a major milestone for the organized RWA ecosystem.

Brazil’s largest tokenized private credit pipeline moves to Rails
AmFi already operates as a monopoly in Brazil's credit tokenization environment by issuing nearly 3 billion reais (over 500 million USD) worth of credit and debt instruments. AmFi will also migrate its current tokenized portfolio to the Rayls blockchain and become the first issuer of new institutional-grade RWAs on the platform as it embarks on its new relationship with the Rayls blockchain.
This partnership builds on Rayls' vision to establish a fully compliant, scalable and permissioned public Layer 1 chain designed to support regulated financial assets.
An ambitious roadmap for Total Value Tokenized (TVT)
The partnership between Rayls and AmFi includes specific and quantifiable milestones, with the goal of phased implementation across institutions within 18 months.
- $100 million in TVT by July 2026
- TVT plans to maintain 500 million by January 2027.
- Tokenize USD 1 billion in assets by June 2027.
These deliverables represent one of the largest organizational RWA commitments in the blockchain ecosystem.
Built for Brazilian, European and US regulatory compliance
Rayls has positioned itself as the go-to compliance blockchain for organizations. This network also provides inherent compliance with regulatory systems such as:
- CVM and the Brazilian Central Bank (BACEN).
- European MiCA standard
- US compliance framework
This multi-jurisdictional collaboration will enable regulated financial institutions to issue programmable, audited, and fully compliant tokenized assets on-chain.
AmFi's operations are deeply embedded in Brazil's regulatory system. The entire tokenized portfolio of unique private credits is registered with Brazilian financial regulators and licensed custodians, providing investor confidence and capital security.
5 million RLS grant to accelerate long-term growth
The collaboration consists of a 5 million RLS grant provided by Rayls to AmFi to accelerate ecosystem construction and share long-term financial incentives.
Marcos Billiato, co-founder and CEO of Parfin, the team behind the L1 blockchain, said the grant is more than a monetary investment, it is a promise to make Rayls the best privately owned RWA chain in the Southern Hemisphere.
This was similar to AmFi's leadership. João Pirola, CPO and co-founder of AmFi, noted that fully transitioning AmFi's operations to Rails is the path to democratizing access to real economic yield in Brazil.
Accelerating the future of RWA ahead of mainnet
This news comes as Rails prepares for its long-awaited mainnet launch in Q1 2026, which will give DeFi users around the world access to institutional-grade tokenized assets on public chains. We need to introduce new liquidity to the DeFi ecosystem and enable global access to private credit.
CEO and founder Paulo David said AmFi is ready to scale. We are expanding the frontiers of global investors by matching our skills with platforms.
