Arc is now Nest’s Home for Global Financial Markets

September 16, 2026

Nest, the premiere vault distribution protocol built with institutional grade compliance, will be deploying to Arc, the blockchain that's purpose-built for global financial markets.

Arc's public mainnet has gone live, and Nest ensures it launches with unparalleled access to top tokenized real-world assets.

Nest has settled over $1 billion in total assets minted. The strategies come from Bitwise, Wisdomtree, and Apollo. Distribution runs through partners, including EtherFi, Binance, and Bybit.

Now, it brings many of these valuable assets to Arc’s ecosystem making them even more accessible.

Nest Powers Arc Institutional Infrastructure

Arc runs on the same technology most onchain finance is built on. Smart contracts and tools that work on Ethereum also work on Arc. For Nest, that means vaults deploy without being rebuilt, and the protocols those vaults connect to already speak the same language. 

Arc has a known, geo-diverse institutional validator set. Apollo's diversified global credit strategy is already onchain through Nest, with access via the ACRDX vault and nACRDX token.

The assets in Nest vaults come from regulated issuers and sit with regulated custodians. Nest exceeds leading industry compliance standards by design, holding the licensing, including conditional approval for a Class M Digital Asset Business Licence under the Bermuda Monetary Authority and registered with the SEC as a transfer agent. 

Do More With Your Real-World Assets

A tokenized asset that sits in a wallet and earns isn't doing anything new. Putting an asset onchain should mean the rest of the market can not only access it, but use it composably across the ecosystem.

Arc launches with Aave, Morpho, Uniswap, FalconX, and Galaxy already deployed. A Nest position on Arc can come integrated into a working market from the start:

  • Collateral: Borrow against your Nest position instead of leaving it idle.
  • Leverage and Loop: Stack exposure to the underlying to amplify your position.
  • Near-Instant Liquidity: Sell into secondary depth rather than waiting on the full redemption window.

An institutional asset inside a closed system can't do any of the above. A composable token from Nest on an open network like Arc can.

Changing Access, Not Assets

Nest on Arc exemplifies how tokenization changes the access, not the assets.
