As of November 17, 2022, Circle Yield is not accepting new loans. We are evaluating future updates to the program.
With Circle Yield, companies can access new, profitable ways to build corporate treasury programs via rapidly growing digital asset lending markets.
Select customers can now participate in the Circle Yield Early Access Program: a white-glove offering designed to give companies a seamless way to deploy capital into stablecoin yield products, powered by USDC.
Circle Yield is a unique, fully secured yield service available to corporations and financial institutions.
While interest rates have fallen, crypto lending markets have seen rapid growth, with more than $35B in assets under management deployed through CeFi lending markets as of March 2021 (“CeFi” refers to “Centralized Finance”, where crypto lending products are built and delivered on blockchains through bi-lateral institutional lending arrangements rather than decentralized protocols, or DeFi).
The growth in these markets presents corporate treasurers and asset managers with a dynamic new asset class, allowing them to diversify their treasury reserves while balancing risk in a well-regulated manner.
Circle Yield is a powerful new way to get started with stablecoin lending, offered from one of the most trusted institutions in the digital currency industry.
As a fully secured, overcollateralized offering, your loan will be protected throughout its lifetime and as your interest accrues. The collateral is greater than your entire loan balance, segregated with a third-party agent in an omnibus wallet and pledged entirely to the benefit of Circle Yield customers.
Furthermore, with frequent margin calls for any fluctuation in underlying collateral value, the structure of the collateral reduces operational risk.
Circle Yield's Stablecoin Interest Rates
Combined with competitive rates and loan terms spanning a minimum of one month to 12 months, Circle Yield offers a new way to generate returns on cash and preserve capital.
Circle Yield is built entirely on USDC, the world’s fastest-growing dollar digital currency, with over $50B in circulation.
USDC is widely regarded as the most trusted stablecoin in DeFi and has seen rapid growth over the past year – it is already used in millions of transactions each day, operating as a regulated, fully reserved stablecoin and examined and attested to each month by leading global public accounting firm Grant Thornton.
Holding assets in USDC allows customers to move in and out of lending markets with speed and security.
By becoming a design partner in this Early Access Program, you help bring to life the next phase of Circle Yield, launching later this summer.
Customers must be an accredited investor headquartered or registered in the United States or Switzerland to participate at this time.
