Velo Labs Selects OpenEden’s Tokenized U.S. Treasury Bills to Strengthen Its Reserves for its USDV
SINGAPORE, Sept. 26, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Velo Labs, a leader in Web3-based financial solutions, is integrating OpenEden’s tokenized U.S. Treasury bills (TBILL) as a reserve collateral asset for USDV, the protocol pegged against stablecoins to process up to $150 million in daily transactions on Velo Finance.
This partnership with OpenEden marks an important milestone in Velo Labs’ mission to become a key aggregator of tokenized Real-World Assets (RWA). Until recently, USDV had been over-collateralized by a basket of assets like Velo’s native token (VELO) and USDT.
The inclusion of high-quality, liquid assets like OpenEden’s tokenized U.S. Treasury bills strengthens the collateral backing USDV. OpenEden is the first and only tokenized U.S. T-Bill product to receive an “A” rating from Moody’s.
Adding tokenized RWAs to the stablecoin’s reserves also unlocks new sources of yield for USDV holders. For instance, users could potentially stake USDV to earn yields from the returns generated by underlying collateral like OpenEden’s TBILLs.
This development is part of Velo’s “Real World Restaking” (RWR) initiative, which aims to allow users to “restake” their crypto assets, particularly the VELO token or other supported tokens, into vaults backed by tokenized RWAs like traditional financial assets or collateralized loans.
By incorporating institutional-grade assets into its ecosystem through USDV, Velo Labs offers investors and token holders access to stable, secure, and transparent sources of real-world yields. This contrasts with most decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, which generate yields from highly volatile and speculative native tokens.
This strategic move aligns with Velo Labs’ broader goal to become the leading platform for aggregating tokenized RWAs and the Payfi ecosystem by using USDV as a potential payment method (where acceptable), with TBILL as the reserve asset. This ensures that USDV is more accessible, transparent, and efficient for users, not only across Southeast Asia but globally.
“Partnering with OpenEden marks a major step forward for Velo Labs as we expand our role as a key player in the RWA space,” said Korapat Arunanondchai, Velo Lab’s Chief Operating Officer.
“By bringing tokenized U.S. Treasury bills into our network, we’re giving users and token holders access to stable and secure financial products while also opening up new avenues for earning yield. Our focus is on blending traditional finance with blockchain in a way that genuinely benefits our users.”

Crypto Derivatives Market Rebounds Amid Positive Sentiment, Bybit x Block Scholes Report Finds
DUBAI, UAE, Sept. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, in collaboration with Block Scholes, a renowned quantitative finance firm, has released its latest crypto derivatives analytics report. The report provides a comprehensive analysis of the crypto market’s response to the Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut and highlights key trends in futures, options, and perpetual contracts.
Following the 50 basis point rate cut on September 18, 2024, both spot and derivatives markets have exhibited positive sentiment. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have seen price increases, while open interest in futures and perpetual swaps remains high. Funding rates have generally been positive, and BTC call open interest has gradually risen. Additionally, the volatility smile has expanded for both BTC and ETH calls, indicating increased investor optimism.
Key Findings from the Report:
- Futures Market: While futures trade volumes have declined, open interest remains resilient, suggesting traders are maintaining their positions.
- Perpetual Swaps: Perpetual swap open interest and trading volumes have remained relatively stable, indicating consistent trader activity.
- Options Market: BTC options activity has favored puts over calls, but open interest for calls is slowly recovering. Implied volatility for short-tenor options has fallen since the Fed’s rate cut, indicating growing bullish sentiment.
Bybit remains committed to providing its users with comprehensive market analysis and tools to help them make informed trading decisions.
