The Aqueduct

A US dollar fixed income product built on stablecoins. The Aqueduct earns interest and protocol rewards across established DeFi platforms — without exposure to the price of any cryptocurrency.

Performance

Steady compounding, independent of the market

Net asset value per unit since inception on 27 Jan 2021, against the ETH price over the same period. The comparison is not a benchmark — it is there to show what the product deliberately avoids: directional exposure.

Current Allocation

Where the capital sits today

Live figures from the fund's position monitor, refreshed each time this page is published. Every position is held in the product wallet and visible on-chain.

Total Invested US$885,600 16 positions
Portfolio APY 8.35% 7d 8.40% · 30d 8.62%
Daily Income US$202.51 total projected
Annual Income US$73,918 total projected

Projected income is the current yield applied to current positions. It is not a forecast and will move with market rates.

Strategy

Where the yield comes from

The product holds dollar-pegged stablecoins and puts them to work across five categories of established protocol. Allocation shifts with where risk-adjusted yield is best, and is diversified across platforms by design.

Liquidity provision

Providing liquidity to stablecoin trading pairs on decentralised exchanges, earning trading fees plus protocol rewards. Curve is the core venue — the largest DEX for stablecoin trading — accessed through Convex to enhance reward yields.

Curve · Convex · StakeDAO · Aerodrome

Lending

Depositing stablecoins into on-chain lending markets, which function as banks: borrowers post collateral and pay interest to depositors.

Aave · Compound · Morpho · Euler · Curvance

Collateralised debt

Participating in CDP protocols that issue stablecoins against collateral and share the resulting yield with holders, such as the Dai Savings Rate.

MakerDAO / Sky

Funding rate arbitrage

Delta-neutral positions on derivatives venues: holding an asset for its yield while shorting the same size elsewhere, so the net position value is unchanged by price moves while the funding rate accrues.

Hyperliquid

Incentive programmes

Selective participation in yield-tokenisation and incentive programmes where the underlying remains dollar-denominated.

Pendle · Merkl

The common rule

Every position is dollar-denominated or hedged back to dollars. Where a strategy requires holding a volatile token, an offsetting short is held so the net exposure stays flat. The product is designed to earn yield, not to take market direction.

How platforms are selected

  • Maturity. Preference for protocols with multi-year operating history and billion-dollar scale, which have survived several market cycles.
  • Due diligence. Economic model analysis, market research, team background checks and review of security audits before any capital is committed.
  • Diversification. Capital is spread across platforms so that no single protocol failure is capable of impairing the product.
  • Continuous monitoring. Rates, utilisation and liquidity across every tracked market are reviewed daily.

Research

Allocation follows the data

Positions are not chosen on narrative. The manager operates a stablecoin analytics terminal that collects yield, liquidity and utilisation data across the tracked market every day, and allocation decisions are made from it. The same terminal is published openly, so the evidence behind the portfolio can be inspected.

Daily market coverage

Lending markets and vaults across Aave, Compound, Morpho, Euler, Curve, Curvance, Dolomite and Spark, plus DEX and fund pools — rebuilt every day at 10:00 (UTC+8).

Leveraged yield analysis

For each lending market the terminal computes the levered yield available from collateral yield against borrowing cost, with utilisation and kink context, so positions are sized against the rate curve rather than a headline APY.

Stablecoin tiering

A published tier system classifies stablecoins by collateral quality and track record. It governs which assets are eligible for the portfolio at all, and is reviewed as the market changes.

Peg and liquidity monitoring

Depth and mid-price for each tracked stablecoin are checked daily, so a deteriorating peg or thinning liquidity is visible before it becomes a loss.

Public research terminal

The dashboard behind these decisions is open — the same yield, lending, leverage and peg data the manager uses.

Risk Factors

What could go wrong

The Aqueduct avoids price risk. It does not avoid every risk, and the following are material. Invest only what you can afford to lose.

Systemic risk

The product operates on Ethereum. A failure of the underlying system would impair the value of all assets held on it, including stablecoins. The probability is low after more than a decade of operation, but it is not zero.

Regulatory risk

Singapore's stance is currently open, but policy can change. Individual protocols face the law of their own jurisdictions — a major stablecoin issuer or DeFi platform could be investigated or penalised, and users could lose money as a result.

Stablecoin depeg risk

Whether every major stablecoin is fully collateralised remains an open question. Insufficient backing combined with a liquidity crisis could break a peg and propagate across the market.

Protocol risk

Capital is deployed into third-party smart contracts. Their security against exploits cannot be guaranteed. This is mitigated by protocol selection and diversification, not eliminated.

Counterparty risk

The Aqueduct is custodial: it requires trust in the manager. This is mitigated by full on-chain transparency and hardware-secured authorisation, and is intended to reduce over time as operations move on-chain.

Yield risk

Yields are market-determined and vary with demand for leverage and stablecoin liquidity. Past returns, including those shown on this page, do not indicate future returns.
