R25 opens public beta for R25 Studio, cutting fund setup time to 10 minutes
R25 said on Tuesday that R25 Studio, the core product built on its 2 architecture, has entered public beta. The platform is designed around the idea that anyone can become an asset manager, opening up institutional-grade fund creation, operations, and distribution tools to a broader group of users. According to the announcement, R25 Studio turns legal documentation, back-office systems, and compliance procedures into configurable smart contracts, reducing the time needed to launch a fund from several months to 10 minutes. The product is structured around four functions — Build, Manage, Earn, and Distribute — and covers Vault creation, subscriptions and redemptions, investment management, fee generation, and distribution. Asset managers can set investment parameters, management fees, and performance fees on-chain, issue dedicated Vault Tokens or Shares, and list Vaults through channels including Dapp and Topnod. The platform also provides performance metrics such as NAV, APY, cumulative return, and maximum drawdown. R25 added that Axil had previously launched a private credit Vault on R25 during phase 1, with TVL surpassing $130 million. Registration for the first batch of lead managers is now open.
