Key Points
- Maple Finance introduces “Lend + Long”, a structured yield product combining treasury yields and Bitcoin’s potential upside.
- The product aims to bridge traditional finance and decentralized finance, targeting institutional investors, corporate treasuries, and yield funds.
Maple Finance has rolled out “Lend + Long”, an innovative on-chain structured yield product. It merges treasury yields with the potential upside of Bitcoin, while also mitigating downside risks.
Targeting Institutional Investors
This solution is crafted specifically for institutional investors, corporate treasuries, and yield funds. It aims to connect traditional finance with decentralized finance. The product funnels deposits into the Maple High Yield Secured Pool to generate a stable base yield.
The product is constructed to shield institutional investors from the risk of Bitcoin (BTC) underperformance. At the same time, it provides exposure to BTC’s price rise.
Generating Yield and BTC Exposure
The High Yield Secured Pool uses a portion of the yield it generates to buy BTC call options. Sid Powell, CEO of Maple Finance, stated that there is evident market demand for products that combine on-chain yield with targeted Bitcoin exposure. ‘Lend + Long’ caters to this demand, facilitating yield generation while positioning for BTC appreciation, all without any downside risk.
This launch marks a significant progression in broadening DeFi access. It offers structured BTC exposure that aligns with the risk tolerance of institutional entities.
