Figment, OpenTrade debut Solana-based stablecoin product targeting 15% APR

A hedged SOL staking model underpins the new yield product, debuting amid rising institutional demand for regulated access to Solana’s network rewards.

Figment and OpenTrade have introduced “OpenTrade Stablecoin Staking Yield,” a new stablecoin yield product that targets a yield of 15% by utilizing Solana staking returns, with Crypto.com providing custody for the underlying assets.

According to Monday’s announcement, institutions deposit and withdraw stablecoins, while the yield is produced by Solana (SOL) staking rewards and an offsetting perpetual-futures hedge run by OpenTrade. Deposits and withdrawals are handled through Figment’s platform, with the strategy executed in an OpenTrade-managed vault.
