April 28, 2025 – Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Backed by Deus X Capital, Solstice will debut USX this summer alongside a native yield protocol launching with over $100 million in committed TVL (total value locked), bringing permissionless delta-neutral returns to Solana from day one.
Solstice Labs, an onchain asset manager backed by $1 billion digital asset investment firm Deus X Capital, today announced USX, a stablecoin purpose-built for sustainable yield on Solana.
Launching this summer, USX offers permissionless access to a native yield protocol that has over $100 million in committed TVL, providing users access to institutional-grade returns through automated delta-neutral trading strategies.
Designed for both institutions and everyday users, USX is a synthetic stablecoin optimized for performance on Solana.
The USX peg is maintained by the one-to-one collateralization of fiat-backed stablecoins, such as USDC and USDT, and partnerships with some of the biggest market makers and liquidity providers in the industry.
Users are able to lock USX into Solstice’s YieldVault to access real-time returns generated through off-chain funding-rate arbitrage and dynamically hedged staking-yield strategies, leveraging a three-year track record showing 19.2% average over the last 12-months and protected by a dedicated insurance fund.
Ben Nadereski, CEO and co-founder of Solstice Labs, said,
“We’ve seen the same dynamic repeat in crypto DeFi yields are constantly over-engineered, opaque or reserved for institutional players.
“USX is designed at its core to change this by simplifying competitive yields in a transparent and sustainable way.
“All stablecoin users should have the opportunity to capture the yield that larger protocols keep to themselves while not giving up 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 quickly emerged as one of the fastest-growing stablecoin ecosystems, expanding its share of stablecoin liquidity from 2.5% to 5.4% in just two months (at the time of publication).
But while the chain has become a hub for stablecoin velocity especially in MEV, arbitrage and orderbook-style trading it still lacks a dominant Solana-native stablecoin built for yield.
USX is designed to fill that gap, purpose-built for Solana’s low-latency, high-throughput infrastructure.
As stablecoin transfer activity increasingly shifts from CEXs (centralized exchanges) to trading-driven DeFi applications, USX positions Solana at the forefront of capturing new onchain capital via yield-native stable assets.
USX’s launch is supported by a growing network of infrastructure, security and liquidity partners to enable off-exchange settlement solutions, expanding the stablecoin’s utility across both centralized and DEXs (decentralized exchanges).
Built by the team behind Solstice staking
USX and its protocol are part of the Solstice umbrella, which also includes Solstice Staking AG, after a recent acquisition.
Solstice Staking is one of the most trusted staking operations in the industry, currently securing the following.
- Over $1 billion in staked assets
- More than 9,000 validator nodes
- 100% renewable energy-powered infrastructure
- 99.99% uptime for institutional reliability
With a track record rooted in stability, Solstice is now focused on creating the next evolution of DeFi one where transparency, performance and access go hand in hand.
Coming summer 2025
USX will officially launch in summer 2025, with early access and beta incentives for all users to be announced in the coming weeks.
