We are excited to launch strUSD, a yield-bearing token backed by institutional delta-neutral strategies.

12%* APY, uncorrelated with crypto.

Strategies that required eight-figure minimums, now on-chain.

Learn more about our day-one DeFi integrations below.

The interesting takeaway from today’s SEC statement that vaults are not the relevant regulatory unit. They’re programmable infrastructure.

The legal analysis follows the functions performed through the vault, not the vault itself. Better transparency, reporting and operational controls don’t change whether someone is exercising investment discretion or what regulatory framework applies to the underlying assets.

Huge unlock! I deal w/ QCs all day and this is amazing

For RIAs, keeping assets in a QC is a requirement, precluding participation in almost defi yield strategies

But now, @krakenfx Institutional clients can now access DeFi yield and other structured products while remaining in the QC perimeter

This is done through their @upshift_fi, the leading institutional vault provider for structured products

Trillions

[Upshift @upshift_fi]

Users on Jumper can now access DeFi yield on their stablecoins.

Vaults bring onchain finance to the world.

Powered by Upshift, Earn on Jumper.

Institutional Vaults on Kraken, powered by Upshift.

Eligible @KrakenInsto Institutional clients can now put idle treasury assets to work in permissioned, curated onchain vaults, directly from Kraken's qualified custody, without new wallets or extra counterparties.

[Upshift @upshift_fi]

7D APY on EarnAUSD is 10.19%, driven by strong borrow demand on @Curvance.

PT-earnAUSD lets users lock in a fixed yield, while serving as collateral on lending markets.

Upshift vaults provide composable yield tokens across DeFi.

XRP vault update:

The deposit cap for the @monarq_mgmt XRP Yield vault on @FlareNetworks has been increased to 10M.

Deposit your XRP in one click across institutional-grade CeFi and DeFi strategies.

[Upshift @upshift_fi]

The Monarq XRP Yield vault on @FlareNetworks runs a mix of CeFi and DeFi strategies to generate yield on XRP.

It hit its previous deposit caps within a few days.

Caps will be raised soon.

[Upshift @upshift_fi]

Different chains for different use cases.

Each use case powered by vaults: Earn, private credit, RWA settlement, PayFi etc.

Vaults are the building block for onchain finance.

Build in Public: Quick update on Glacient AI, the no-code canvas and AI builder for onchain monitoring and automation. Two new things shipped this week:

First, we added Hyperliquid as a data source, both Perps and Positions. You can now layer Hyperliquid into the same multi-protocol workflows you build across vaults, lending markets, wallets, and more.

Second, we shipped webhooks. Route alert data to Slack, or to any web service you want to plug into.

And as always, you build the whole thing through the AI chatbot in plain English. Power users are welcome to edit the canvas directly too. For example:

"Notify my Slack via webhook when the HL Multi-Asset wallet has cumulative funding below -120 and unrealized PnL above 500. Set the cadence as a heartbeat to notify every 5 minutes." [Example in the screenshot attached].

It finds the positions, builds the multi-layered filter, and fires on your schedule whenever a position matches. Set it once. New positions are picked up automatically, closed ones drop off. The workflow tracks your wallet as it changes. No code required. No API keys. Always running. Pipes straight into your stack.

Still talking to vault curator strategists, crypto ops teams, stablecoin growth teams, and DeFi power users. If that is you, DM me and I'll send an invite code to try Glacient(.)ai for free.

[Gami @GamiLabs]

Two institutional actively managed vaults on Stellar co-curated with @StakeCapital, are live on @upshift_fi.

- earnUSDC lets depositors access optimized stablecoin yield.
- earnXLM unlocks yield across XLM idle strategy and a carry-trade leg.

Here's what's inside…

The vaults supply lending markets across @StellarOrg's major protocol ecosystem, provide liquidity on the deepest Stellar pools to support both depth and stability, and hold RWA-collateralized positions for risk-adjusted yield. A carry-trade leg from earnXLM into earnUSDC compounds both strategies simultaneously.

Custody runs through @ForDefi MPC with multisig enforcement across Gami Labs and Stake Capital signers. @HyperNative_xyz monitors all positions in real time, 24/7. All positions are verifiable on-chain.
No black boxes. No exceptions.

This is step one of a broader build-out on Stellar.

Most of the vault conversation is fixed income. Most institutional portfolios are not.

Aya Kantorovich (@aya_kantor) from @upshift_fi on equities, thematic baskets, and directional products, the part of the risk curve that onchain asset management has not yet addressed:

[Gami @GamiLabs]

Stellar built the rails for serious capital deployment: payments, RWAs, and stablecoins at scale.

In partnership with @StellarOrg, @StakeCapital and @upshift_fi, we're adding the layer that makes it productive.

Live tomorrow, stay tuned

[Upshift @upshift_fi]

Last Friday, Upshift co-founder @aya_kantor took to the @Vault__Summit stage at the New York Stock Exchange 🇺🇸

Vaults are fast being adopted for institutional asset management but questions remain about risk management, regulatory clarity and non-correlated yield opportunities.

It was great to catch up with teams from @Bitwise, @Securitize, @Morpho, @FordefiHQ, @kpk_io, @3f_xyz and more!

[Stake Capital Group @StakeCapital]

Thrilled to partner with @GamiLabs to co-curate the genesis vaults for @upshift_fi on @StellarOrg! 🤝

We're excited to bring our expertise to the Stellar ecosystem. Vault strategy details coming soon.

[Alex Elkrief @AElkrief]

Porting a vault standard off the EVM turned out harder than it looked. It required Stellar native storage and permissionning logic, a different DeFi map to integrate against, and a fresh custody path to wire in.

Upshift's vault standard now runs natively on Stellar, integrated across core protocols like Blend, Aquarius, Sushi, and Templar, with ForDeFi handling MPC.

From here, we'll be expanding into RWAs, fintechs and PayFi. Lots more coming on @stellar

[Punia @puniaviision]

Never met a team move so fast tbh

[Aya Kantorovich @aya_kantor]

Most ecosystems try to manufacture their way to DeFi growth, before they have anything real underneath it.

Stellar grew up the other way around: more than a decade of payments and tokenization volume first, with a lending and DEX stack that matured on top of that base. @MoneyGram launched their native stable on Stellar just this morning!

That order matters when you're deploying institutional size. It's why I'm glad Upshift is becoming the native vault layer for @StellarOrg, working closely with the Foundation.

Very excited for what's to come on Stellar

[Upshift @upshift_fi]

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.
