# Introduction

BounceBit Prime is an institutional platform that turns tokenized cash equivalents into productive, programmable collateral. It connects regulated custody with onchain execution so capital can earn yield, move instantly, and remain audit-ready at all times.

Prime sources tokenized cash equivalents from Franklin Templeton’s Benji and BlackRock’s BUIDL via Securitize. Client assets are custodied at Standard Chartered. Collateral mirrors to trading venues for execution through an off-exchange settlement flow. The model separates custody from execution, reduces venue risk, and preserves clear legal ownership.

### What Prime enables

* Yield with control: Access treasury-backed, tokenized cash equivalents while maintaining segregation, reporting, and policy controls.
* Programmable collateral: Move collateral 24/7 for trading, margin, or financing without breaking custody.
* Operational assurance: Audit-ready statements, chain-level transparency, and rules that enforce mandates in code.
* Liquidity at scale: Real-time collateral mobility and venue connectivity for faster deployment and lower friction.

### How it works

1. Subscribe to tokenized cash equivalents through approved issuers and transfer to Standard Chartered custody.
2. Mirror positions to connected venues for execution and risk management while assets remain held at the bank.
3. Automate policies, limits, and reporting through onchain controls and Prime’s operations layer.

### Who it is for

Institutions that need yield, transparency, and control in a single operating model. Asset managers, trading firms, treasuries, and market makers that want regulated custody with onchain speed.

Prime is a practical path for RWAs to operate natively onchain. It delivers the safety of bank custody, the efficiency of onchain settlement, and the discipline of programmable controls in one platform.
