Yield & Interest
2 technical briefings from 2 companies building yield & interest infrastructure.
Grant Roscoe
Crescent demos a high-yield treasury product for businesses — live in production V1, newly serving its first publicly traded customer, backed by USDC over-collateralized lending desks with zero exposure to Terra/Luna or Celsius and $30B of originations through its partners. The dashboard compounds interest every second, breaks earnings down by lifetime/year/month, and exposes admin controls for teams (plus easy switching between accredited individual and multiple business accounts, appealing to investment advisors). Because Crescent bridges fiat to USDC to lending desks, it natively supports wire and USDC deposits (ACH via Plaid coming soon) — the demo wires USDC from MetaMask into a Crescent account. Yield is accrued fungibly 1:1 in USDC/dollars at a ~4% sustainable rate. Despite looking like fixed income, Crescent accounts are fully liquid: next-day withdrawals initiate a wire, with Crescent pulling from fully-liquid lending pools, converting USDC to cash, and using bank credit lines to guarantee next-day settlement at zero fees. The roadmap is a yield marketplace: traditional cash sweeps, Treasury/mutual-fund products, and crypto yields — Crescent as the composable middle layer between businesses and yield sources.
