Product-Specific Risk Disclosure
OpenTrade Stablecoin Staking Yield powered by Figment is not a bank deposit, is not FDIC-insured, and does not guarantee returns. Your principal is at risk. The approximate 15% APR is based on historical data; actual results may vary materially and are subject to market, protocol, and counterparty risks. Withdrawal times may vary depending on protocol conditions. This product is designed to deliver potentially elevated yields on stablecoins and is structured with enhanced infrastructure safeguards (including custody controls, asset segregation, and known counterparties). However, users must remain aware of the inherent risks. Figment provides the staking infrastructure and access platform (Figment App and APIs). OpenTrade manages the stablecoin yield strategies. Crypto.com serves as the custodian. This product is intended for institutional clients only.

Yield Strategy Details
The strategy is a delta-neutral SOL carry trade designed to generate stable USD-based yield by staking SOL while fully hedging out price risk.
Core Structure
Buy SOL spot on an exchange.
Stake SOL to earn rewards (~6–8% APY).
Use the same staked SOL as 1:1 collateral for an equal-size short SOL perpetual futures position on the same exchange.
This ensures that the collateral automatically offsets mark-to-market risk on the short position.
Collateral & Staking Allocation
Approx 80% of the SOL purchased is staked with a dedicated Figment validator, the remaining is held in USDC in secure custody.
The staked SOL is recognized by the exchange as eligible collateral for the short perp positions.
100% of staked SOL is used as collateral which maximizes yield.
Yield Drivers
Primary return driver is SOL staking rewards. SOL staking rewards are hedged as they are earned.
Additional returns provided by funding rate on short SOL perp futures.
Perp funding rates may slightly increase or decrease yield, but are expected to remain low single digits annualized.
Net expected returns are ~7–40% APY, with 15% on average.
Risk Management
The short perp fully hedges SOL price risk, making the position market neutral.
Because collateral is in staked SOL, the exchange has “right-way risk”: if SOL rises and the short position loses, the collateral (staked SOL) gains USD value proportionally.
This structure minimizes liquidation risk and maximizes staking efficiency.
Execution is optimized by market-making/legging into the long + short simultaneously to avoid slippage and excess delta exposure.
Only Tier 1 financial counterparties are utilised (Circle, Crypto.com).
Investments are made through a bankruptcy remote SPV which is operated by FCA regulated asset manager and overseen by independent directors and trustee (learn more here).
Trading is conducted programatically by quant hedge fund with long track record operating the strategy successfully.
