Copper, a leading institutional digital asset infrastructure provider, has joined forces with Hashnote, the on-chain first digital asset manager, built with the support of Cumberland and DRW. Copper will be providing custody support for Hashnote’s USYC on the Copper platform.
USYC, Hashnote’s tokenized yield-bearing asset, is an innovative financial vehicle that invests in short-term U.S. Treasury Bills and primarily engages in repo-reverse repo activities. It is designed to offer tokenized short-term risk-free rate returns, leveraging the benefits of rapid on-chain transaction speed, transparency, and composability. This approach eliminates the majority of protocol, custody, regulatory, and credit risks typically associated with other token projects.
This collaboration empowers users to transform their stablecoins at rest into yield-generating assets without taking on any additional risks. With near-instant minting and redeeming (T+0 to T+1) into USDC, the integration ensures that while generating on-chain yield, customers do not have to sacrifice the liquidity and efficiency of ERC-20 tokens.
Copper’s industry-leading custody solution brings peace of mind to Hashnote USYC holders. Innovative security protocols ensure that while assets are actively yielding returns, they are concurrently under the safeguard of a leading digital asset custodian.
Being part of the Copper platform does not just mean enhanced security; it also translates into increased accessibility and liquidity for Hashnote’s USYC. This integration connects users to a broader network of exchanges and financial services.
Copper’s institutional-grade security perfectly compliments Hashnote’s fully regulated and compliant fund structure, which is registered in the US with the CFTC as a CPO for US customers and as a mutual fund with CIMA for non-US customers.
