Bulla selected for Plug and Play x XDC Network Accelerator

We're proud to announce that Bulla Network has been selected as one of 11 startups for the XDC DeFi Accelerator Batch 3, developed in collaboration with the XDC Foundation and Plug and Play — the world's leading innovation platform. On May 19, we'll present at the Plug and Play Silicon Valley Summit to venture capital firms, Fortune 500 companies, and institutional investors. This is big news for Bulla but it’s also a significant signal for the industry.

The RWA narrative is maturing — fast

For the past several years, real-world assets, or RWA, in the blockchain context largely meant one thing: tokenizing existing financial instruments — Treasury bills, money market funds, private credit — and wrapping them in a blockchain-native interface. The idea was simple: take a familiar asset, make it more accessible. It worked. Billions of dollars have flowed in.

But that was just the first chapter.

What's emerging now — and what the XDC × Plug and Play accelerator will help galvanize — is a fundamentally different model, where onchain infrastructure doesn't just represent existing assets. It originates new ones that have intrinsic value.

Investors are discovering they can earn dynamic yield on stablecoins by financing real commercial activity — invoices, freight, trade — rather than simply holding tokenized versions of what already existed in TradFi.

What makes Bulla different

Bulla Network is a credit protocol built for onchain commercial finance. Our infrastructure allows businesses to tokenize their receivables — real invoices from real transactions — and have them financed through stablecoin liquidity pools. Liquidity providers earn yield. Businesses get working capital. Everything settles onchain, transparently, in hours vs. weeks.

This isn't a wrapper on a bond. This is live trade finance — the kind that keeps supply chains moving — settling fully onchain for the first time.

For the last 18 months, we've been building and proving this model in the trucking and shipping finance industries, where payment lags of 30 to 90 days are common and access to affordable working capital is often the difference between a company growing and a company going under. Our pools have financed millions in invoices, with consistent yield performance for liquidity providers and meaningful cost savings for borrowers compared to traditional factoring.

Why this validation matters

Being selected by Plug and Play — an institution that has backed PayPal, Dropbox, and hundreds of others — and the XDC Foundation, which has purpose-built extensive infrastructure for global trade finance, isn't just a credential. It's a signal that the market is ready for what we've built.

Institutional investors are no longer asking whether stablecoins can generate yield. They're asking whether that yield can be backed by something durable, transparent, and tied to real economic activity. The answer is yes — and Bulla is one of the clearest examples of what that looks like in practice.

We are heading to Silicon Valley in May not just to introduce Bulla to a new audience, but to help define what the next chapter of onchain finance actually is: dynamic yield, real assets, real impact.

What's next

Over the coming weeks we'll be sharing more about our roadmap, including expanded pool deployments, new verticals beyond freight, and deeper integrations across the XDC ecosystem. If you're an investor, a business with receivables, or simply someone who believes that DeFi's most important chapter is the one that connects to the real economy — we'd love to talk.
