<p>Yala's YU is a stablecoin designed to represent decentralized finance to Bitcoin users. The project has attracted funding of $8 million and is well-placed to offer an exciting combination of yield-earning potential mixed with stability because it is bitcoin-backed. Investors have already committed upwards of 2,000 BTC more than $126 million at the current price to its protocol. </p>   
<p>Yala also brings along Takaful, the insurance feature handling liquidation risks stemming from the volatility in the price of Bitcoin. The testnet for the protocol goes live this month, with a mainnet due early next year.</p>
