Simplified yield

USYC yield accrues automatically through a rising token price, with no staking, claiming, or added operational complexity.

What is USYC?

USYC2 is a tokenized money market fund designed to provide yield-bearing collateral with near-instant liquidity.

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. USYC extends the new internet financial system to institutional trading and treasury, helping firms manage cash and collateral across global markets that don’t wait for banking hours.

Onchain fund structure

USYC is the onchain representation of the Hashnote International Short Duration Fund Ltd., which invests in US Treasury bills and reverse repurchase agreements backed by short-term US government securities. 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.
