Backed by Deus X Capital, Solstice will debut USX this summer alongside a native yield protocol launching with over $100M in committed TVL, bringing permissionless delta-neutral returns to Solana from day one.
SOLSTICE LABS, an on-chain asset manager supported by $1 billion digital asset investment firm DEUS X CAPITAL, has announced the launch of USX, a stablecoin specifically designed for sustainable yield on Solana. Set to debut this summer, USX will provide permissionless access to a native yield protocol with over $100 million in committed total value locked (TVL). This initiative enables users to achieve institutional-grade returns through automated delta-neutral trading strategies.
USX, a synthetic stablecoin optimized for Solana’s high-performance infrastructure, is designed for both institutional and retail users. It maintains its peg through 1:1 collateralization of fiat-backed stablecoins like USDC and USDT, in collaboration with leading market makers and liquidity providers. Users can lock USX into Solstice’s YieldVault to access real-time returns generated via off-chain funding-rate arbitrage and dynamically hedged staking-yield strategies. These strategies have demonstrated a 19.2% average return over the past 12 months, safeguarded by a dedicated insurance fund.
“We’ve seen the same dynamic repeat in crypto: DeFi yields are often over-engineered, opaque, or exclusive to institutional players,” said BEN NADARESKI, CEO and Co-Founder of Solstice Labs. “USX is designed to change this by simplifying competitive yields in a transparent and sustainable way. All stablecoin users should have access to the yields typically reserved for larger protocols, without sacrificing utility in the base asset. That’s the promise of DeFi, and that’s what we’re building at Solstice.”
The Solana Stablecoin for Everyone
Solana has rapidly become a leading stablecoin ecosystem, increasing its share of stablecoin liquidity from 2.5% to 5.4% in just two months. However, the platform has yet to see a dominant Solana-native stablecoin optimized for yield. USX aims to fill this gap, leveraging Solana’s low-latency, high-throughput infrastructure to cater to the growing demand for yield-native stable assets.
Built by the Team Behind Solstice Staking
USX is part of the Solstice ecosystem, which includes SOLSTICE STAKING AG, a trusted staking operation securing:
- $1B+ in staked assets
- 9,000+ validator nodes
- 100% renewable energy-powered infrastructure
- 99.99% uptime for institutional reliability
With a proven track record in stability, Solstice is now pioneering the next evolution of DeFi, focusing on transparency, performance, and accessibility.
Coming Summer 2025
USX is set to launch in Summer 2025, with early access and beta incentives to be announced in the coming weeks. Interested users can follow updates via @solstice_io on X. The Solstice team will also be present at Token2049 in Dubai this week, co-hosting the Solana Mega Mixer alongside the Solana Superteam.
