Solstice Labs to Launch USX, a Yield-Bearing Stablecoin, on Solana in Summer 2025
Solstice Labs Introduces Yield-Bearing Stablecoin USX on Solana, Targeting Summer 2025 Launch
Solstice Labs, a decentralized finance (DeFi) innovator backed by Deus X Capital, announced plans to launch USX, a yield-generating synthetic stablecoin, on the Solana blockchain in the summer of 2025. The move aims to fill a noticeable gap in Solana’s thriving ecosystem, which, despite hosting over 5% of the $238 billion global stablecoin supply (per DefiLlama), currently lacks a flagship fiat-pegged asset designed specifically for passive income.
USX is engineered to offer delta-neutral returns, meaning it minimizes the impact of small market fluctuations on investors’ portfolios. According to Solstice Labs, USX will utilize a combination of arbitrage and staking-based strategies to generate real-time yields while maintaining its peg through full collateralization with USDT and USDC, the leading stablecoins issued by Tether and Circle.
Alongside USX, Solstice will roll out YieldVault, an affiliated on-chain protocol boasting $100 million in total value locked (TVL), supported by Deus X Capital’s extensive ecosystem. YieldVault will offer permissionless access to both retail and institutional investors, further democratizing DeFi opportunities that are often opaque or restricted to large financial players.
“DeFi yields are often opaque or reserved for institutions,” said Ben Nadareski, CEO of Solstice Labs. “USX is designed to unlock those opportunities for everyone in a simple, transparent way.”
Founded after Solana’s Breakpoint conference in September 2024, Solstice Labs quickly positioned itself as a key player in building institutional-grade DeFi solutions. Its portfolio already includes Solstice Staking AG, a major staking service boasting over $1 billion in assets under management, thanks in part to the acquisition of Swiss-based Bridgetower Capital GmbH in December 2024.
With the upcoming launch of USX and YieldVault, Solstice Labs is doubling down on its mission to make DeFi more accessible, transparent, and rewarding for a global audience.
