There are 2 kinds of travelers: those who paid full price and those who knew the loopholes. If you aren’t a frequent flyer or don’t have access to insider deals, you’ll always pay more, while travel agents quietly pocket discounts from the same seats you buy. That’s what yield in crypto has been for years. A closed system built for institutions. They had the tools, data, and capital to capture market-neutral trades like funding-rate arbitrage, while retail users were left with speculation and hope. Solstice is trying to flip that with USX and YieldVault. Now, anyone can tap into those same delta-neutral strategies. These vaults automate the process: balancing long and short positions across spot and perpetual markets, collecting funding payments while staying neutral to price swings. And the numbers tell the story: ▪ 3 years of live performance before going on-chain ▪ 16.2% trailing 12-month APY ▪ $210M+ TVL and nearly 20,000 holders on Solana ▪ Integrated across Kamino, Orca, Raydium (Exponent next) For the first time, Solana’s stablecoin economy doesn’t depend on imported liquidity like USDC or USDT. It's building its own native yield infrastructure from the ground up. Partnered with @solsticefi on this one to unpack what they’re building.
