About

iUSPC is a tokenized structured note that provides onchain access to institutional private credit yields. The product aggregates exposure to a multi-sleeve portfolio of institutional credit strategies including corporate lending, asset-backed securities, and money market funds, managed by regulated entities and held in qualified custody.

Where Does Yield Come From?

iUSPC is a token that gives on-chain access to yields from institutional private credit. It represents a share in a portfolio of loans and credit investments managed by regulated entities and held in secure custody.

The yield comes from a structured credit note (iUSPC) backed by a portfolio split into several parts. These parts include institutional private credit strategies and a crypto strategy designed for steady returns. The portfolio is organized into three liquidity tiers, which determine how quickly investments can be accessed.

Tier 1 (fast access – instant to daily):

  • BlackRock ICS USD Liquidity Fund: a top-rated (AAA) money market fund.
  • Fidelity ILF: a top-rated (AAA) fund holding government securities.
  • Superstate USCC: a crypto strategy that aims to earn returns regardless of price swings (delta-neutral crypto carry).

Tier 2 (monthly access):

  • Hamilton Lane SCOPE: senior secured corporate loans (loans to companies that are backed by assets and have repayment priority).

Tier 3 (quarterly access):

  • Apollo ACRED: a diversified mix of global credit, including direct lending to companies and securities backed by assets (asset-backed securities).

A Swiss asset manager licensed by FINMA (AM Swiss) decides how to allocate money across these different parts.

To ensure safety and accuracy:

  • The portfolio's value is checked daily by independent data providers (Chainlink oracles).
  • The assets are held in custody by a UK-regulated custodian (Archax).

The note is built as a standard tokenized vault (an ERC-4626 vault, often called a USPC wrapper). This design allows it to work seamlessly with other decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.
