Circle Yield offers exposure to the emerging digital asset economy, while providing industry-leading service and security for institutional grade investments.
As of November 17, 2022, Circle Yield is not accepting new loans. We are evaluating future updates to the program.
When managing funds, new markets can offer enticing investment opportunities in innovative technology like blockchains and cryptocurrency. But emerging asset classes carry additional risk and can be difficult to trade, purchase and secure, creating challenges for managed funds and other asset managers.
Circle Yield taps into crypto capital markets to offer exposure to the emerging digital asset economy, while providing industry-leading service and security alongside superior returns for qualified institutional investors.
Circle Yield lends USD Coin (USDC) contributed by investors to institutional borrowers aiming to invest in cryptocurrencies, where traditional financial institutions can be reluctant to make loans.
High demand for dollar digital currencies in expanding crypto markets is also supported by capabilities like low-cost international payments and 24/7 availability, allowing users to send value almost anywhere in the world, at almost any time.
Circle Yield* investments are overcollateralized assets held by BitGo, a digital asset custodian with more than 400 institutional clients. Fixed-rate loans can be tendered for terms ranging from one to twelve months, with interest** compounded daily and paid monthly for the term of the loan, making it easy to forecast income while avoiding the volatility normally associated with crypto-related investments.
Circle Yield customers also gain access to white-glove service to ensure a smooth and timely onboarding process and assistance with any issues that may arise.
Circle Yield is currently available to accredited businesses in the US and Switzerland, with additional jurisdictions around the world coming soon***. Ready to get started investing in crypto markets? Learn more about Circle Yield today.
