Solstice Labs Announces USX – Solana-Native Stablecoin Aimed at Transparent and Sustainable Returns
Solstice Labs, an onchain asset manager backed by Deus X Capital, a $1 billion digital asset investment fund, has announced the official launch of USX, a Solana-native stablecoin designed to provide transparent, permissionless returns and bring access to institutional-grade returns to all users.
Scheduled to launch in summer 2025, USX will come with a native yield protocol that has committed over $100 million in total value locked (TVL) since day one. The protocol allows users to lock USX into their YieldVault to receive real-time returns generated from off-chain funding arbitrage strategies and hedged staking. Over the past 12 months, these strategies have delivered an average return of 19.2% and are protected by a dedicated insurance fund.
USX – High-Performance Stablecoin Optimized for Solana Infrastructure
USX is pegged to a 1:1 collateral ratio with fiat-backed stablecoins such as USDC and USDT. The project is backed by a network of leading market makers and liquidity providers, ensuring stability and broad adoption in both DeFi and CeFi environments.
As Solana rapidly increases its stablecoin market share – from 2.5% to 5.4% in just two months – USX is built to be a core tool for Solana to maintain its position as a stablecoin liquidity hub. By leveraging the low latency and high throughput of the Solana network, USX will be a bridge to attract new onchain capital through yield-generating stablecoins.
Committed to Making DeFi Yields Transparent
“The crypto market has seen too many DeFi protocols that generate complex, opaque, or institutional-only yields,” said Ben Nadareski, CEO and Co-Founder of Solstice Labs. “USX is designed to remove this barrier, delivering sustainable yields in a transparent, simple, and fair way for all stablecoin users.”
Built by the team behind Solstice Staking
USX and its yield protocol are part of the Solstice ecosystem, which includes Solstice Staking AG, a reputable staking organization recently acquired by Solstice Labs. Solstice Staking currently manages:
- Over $1 billion in staked assets
- Over 9,000 validator nodes
- 100% renewable energy infrastructure
- 99.99% uptime, institutional-grade
The combination of Solstice’s robust infrastructure and innovative thinking on DeFi is paving the way for a new generation of onchain finance – where transparency, efficiency, and accessibility coexist.

USX will officially launch in summer 2025. Early access programs and beta incentives for users will be announced in the coming weeks.
