What is USYC?

USYC2 is a tokenized money market fund designed to provide institutional-grade, yield-bearing collateral with near-instant liquidity onchain, subject to size limits.

Traditional money market funds offer exposure to low-risk, yield-bearing assets such as US Treasury bills, but they operate within traditional banking hours and settlement cycles. These constraints limit yield and flexibility in an always-on, global market environment. USYC is designed to support continuous access and onchain settlement, setting a new standard for institutional cash and collateral management.

Onchain fund structure

USYC is the onchain representation of the Hashnote International Short Duration Fund Ltd., which invests in longer-duration U.S. Treasury Bills of up to six months. Issuing the fund onchain enables faster settlement, composability, and integration across supported blockchain networks.

Automated and programmable workflows

USYC supports automated interactions through smart contracts, allowing institutions to streamline subscriptions, redemptions, and fund flows as part of broader onchain trading, treasury, and settlement workflows.

Onchain transparency and auditability

USYC activity is visible onchain, enabling real-time tracking, verification, and reporting. This transparency supports operational oversight, auditability, and risk management for institutional participants.
