tl;dr:
I've joined @upshift_fi to help democratize institutional DeFi yield and unlock stablecoin growth
book a call with me to tell me about your yield issues: https://t.co/iPhXJarGxw

crypto is wild, fun and thought-provoking in equal measure, with opportunities everywhere. I love (most of the time) working in this industry
but the vast majority of people find DeFi complex, high-risk and very manual. Lending is too safe; aping is too risky.
I am convinced that stablecoins and onchain assets will reach many trillions in market cap. And that yield will be how we turn passive holders into active participants of onchain finance.
that's why I'm joining the @august_digital team to lead growth on Upshift.
@aya_kantor and @AElkrief are top 1% founders, with many years living and breathing DeFi.
We are assembling a high-integrity, mission-led team - our goal is as many people as possible creating wealth in an open financial system.
if you have ideas about how to build DeFi yield products or you're willing to spare 15 minutes to discuss your DeFi experience - I would love to chat: https://t.co/iPhXJarGxw
job's not done. trillions need yield
Stellar have been in this game for a long time now (original @MoneyGram partnership was in 2021)
Having worked with the team like @puniaviision and @AdaVaughan over the last few months, I can see a long term approach to a thriving payments and DeFi ecosystem
Bullish
Upshift is launching vault infrastructure on @StellarOrg.
We're integrating with Stellar to grow DeFi TVL across the network, with a vault roadmap that spans RWAs, DeFi, and asset management infrastructure for Stellar ecosystem apps.
Solana NFT trenching is one of my earliest memories of the onchain world.
The ecosystem has come a long way, with institutional partnerships announced every week.
Super pumped to be launching our vaults to help accelerate the growth of Solana DeFi and institutional adoption
Tokenized asset management is coming to @solana.
Businesses can now use Upshift to build non-custodial vaults, generating yield across any strategy:
- Onchain lending
- Levered RWAs
- Tokenized private credit
- Market-making
- Basis trades and more
A new, multi-strategy vault standard on Solana, powered by Upshift.
Another one
XRP holders on @Flare_Networks already had earnXRP on @upshift_fi for diversified onchain yield. What's been missing is access to institutional offchain strategies: options, basis trades, funding-rate capture.
Extremely vault pilled
1/ The MXRPY vault is now open for deposits, curated by @Monarq_mgmt & @FalconXglobal.
Bringing you more ways to earn XRP yield on @FlareNetworks.
Vaults are how we bridge the gap between tokenized assets and DeFi.
If youโre high agency type of person who loves high performance, the only thing you can do is entrepreneurship or youโll lose your mind. Everything else just feels like a joke. Itโs the only path that lets you exploit your talents, act like a psychopath, and run things how you want without being told what to do. The more you try to continue being an employee the more depressed you become. You just know. Youโve always known. You have this fire in your eyes no one can put out and every minute you avoid it feels like death. Some of us are born to solve problems and change the world in some small way. And we must take risks to feel alive. Only entrepreneurship can give you that. There are downsides though such as uncertainty, more stress, and inconsistent income. But life is too f*cking short to work a boring job. Stop avoiding the one path thatโll make you come alive.
Excited to share our latest RWA product at Upshift.
At FalconX, the most painful workflow for institutional clients was getting in and out of yield-bearing assets within their own settlement windows. The yields were good but the redemption rails never composed with the rest of the onchain composable stack.
That era is ending. Today we're launching Upshift Clear, starting with @SuperstateInc. USCC holders can now redeem to USDC in a single onchain transaction, 24/7, while the fund's standard process settles in the background.
More RWAs coming soon.
Great working with the Superstate team @HiltnerJim and @rleshner to get this over the line!

Introducing Upshift Clear, instant redemption infrastructure for tokenized RWAs.
Starting with @SuperstateInc's Crypto Carry Fund (USCC), with $250M+ AUM and soon to be managed by @Bitwise.
We've been hard at work building this
The first onchain example of an instant redemption facility for RWAs, and the pleasure of working with @SuperstateInc as launch partners.
Vaults are infrastructure for new kinds of financial products. Reach out if you want to launch one!

Introducing the Upshift Gamma BTC vault, curated by @Gamma_Research_.
Cross-chain USD strategies denominated in BTC, live for 60+ days at 7.33% 30D APY.
Now open for deposits on Ethereum.
Vaults are 100% the medium through which traditional asset management will onchain.
Great working with Coinmerce Capital @icoinic_NL at @coinmerce to launch their inaugural DeFi vault on HyperEVM. Welcome to Upshift!
Coinmerce Capital is bringing their institutional strategies onchain as an Upshift vault curator.
They are the longest-running AFM-registered crypto asset manager in the Netherlands, managing over $60M.
DeFi is converging with traditional finance.
