TODAY: @UpholdInc’s 10M+ customers can now earn on $RLUSD, through the @upshift_fi vault on @Morpho Upshift’s @aya_kantor told us who else they were talking to: “We’re in conversations with all of the large neobanks, card providers, exchanges, wallets and so forth.”

Earn on RLUSD is live on @UpholdInc, powered by Upshift. Two consumer Earn launches in two days. We've spoken to a number of fintechs and exchanges and keep hearing the same thing. Their users hold stablecoins that are searching for yield. First vault: RLUSD on Morpho, curated by @SentoraHQ, with XRP Earn coming soon. Upshift currently services 70k+ users. 30+ chains. Yield will be standard in every money app. Thank you to the @UpholdInc and @SentoraHQ teams for collaborating on this with us - more to come 👀

Proud moment for the @SentoraHQ team: @UpholdInc just launched RLUSD Earn, powered by Sentora. Uphold clients can now put RLUSD to work in an onchain vault curated by Sentora and built on @upshift_fi. Rewards accrue in RLUSD, and every position can be verified onchain at any time. One of Sentora's core principles is that DeFi yield should feel institutional. That means risk-managed, transparent and auditable, without asking anyone to become a protocol expert. Seeing it live inside a platform like Uphold is exactly the bridge we've been building toward. Stablecoins are becoming real money rails. The next step is letting that money earn, in the open, with risk managed by people who live and breathe it. And this is just the start. The roadmap for Uphold Earn is very ambitious. Stay tuned. Huge thanks to the @UpholdInc and @upshift_fi teams. Check out Uphold Earn:

Earn products are the critical component to grow and retain customer float. Doing this on stablecoins via vaults makes the process infinitely more efficient, all while blockchain complexities are completely abstracted. Excited to see this partnership with @UpholdInc and @SentoraHQ go live.

Earn on @UpholdInc, powered by Upshift. Uphold's 10M+ customers in 140+ countries can now move RLUSD into Earn inside the app and request a withdrawal at any time. Upshift runs the vault, which lends RLUSD through @SentoraHQ's RLUSD vault on @Morpho.

This is one of the product releases you glance over and don't take seriously but you should. Earn+ will be one of the killer features for Ethena Pay that is almost impossible to compete with for dollar savings at scale. I'd hope I'm within the top ~5% of DeFi power users, but I don't even spend the time and energy to optimize DeFi loops across multiple chains and lending markets which requires 24/7 attention. This is a one-click access point to optimized levered USDe rewards with the capability to operate cross chain from a single vault with no management of debt positions required at all. This is the highest unincentivized reward rate on dollars at multi-billion scale with a simple one-click user experience that has averaged ~10-15% APY even during the bear market, and much higher in the bull market. Available exclusively on Ethena Pay 🌍.

After 9 months of building, we’re thrilled to see Earn+ in @EthenaPay go live. The financial system is being disrupted by an entirely new set of onchain primitives, infrastructure and neobanks. It’s now clear that blockchains offer a fundamentally better way to save, earn and spend. Vaults are critical to that transition.  Congrats to the Ethena, Aave and Steakhouse teams on the launch.

If you're launching a stablecoin neobank today, a yield product is an essential part of the stack. Great to be the vault partner for @EthenaPay, after a year of building this together, in collaboration with @SteakhouseFi and @aave. Finance is being rewritten on blockchain rails, led by this new generation of neobanks from crypto-native teams like Ethena. We're here for the ride at @upshift_fi

Ethena Earn+, powered by @upshift_fi The next wave of users won't know it's DeFi on the back end. And they shouldn’t. They'll just have dollars earning on secure infrastructure until the moment of spend. Time to bring access to yield to the masses.

Earn+ on @EthenaPay, powered by Upshift. Ethena Pay users can move dollars into Earn+ with one tap for higher rewards, and take them back out with no lockup. @SteakhouseFi is running the vault strategy on @aave. Rolling out now to eligible users.

$50M XRP is deployed across Upshift vaults. Today at 4 PM Eastern Time at the @FlareNetworks Swell side-event, @upshift_fi co-founder @aya_kantor joins speakers from @Firelightfi and @SentoraHQ to discuss: “XRP at Work: Vaults, Cover & Credit”. 📍 The Addison NY RSVP:

Already holding $earnAUSD? Put it to work. 🔁 Deposit your receipt token into the earnAUSD/USDC @Morpho market on @monad and earn an extra 2% via @merkl_xyz incentives. Total yield: ~10% APY. No new capital needed, just one more step. No borrowing is required as well.

This is great news. Upshift curators can now use the same pool of staked FXRP on Flare to back protection for their own vaults. A clear path to show how XRP starts becoming shared risk capital for DeFi products across the entire market.

We’ve partnered with @upshift_fi to bring onchain protection to vault infrastructure. Protection is live on @SentoraHQ’s Protected USD and Protected RWA vaults, built on Upshift’s infrastructure, creating vault operators a path to on-chain coverage. ▶️

Curators on Upshift can now add @Firelightfi cover to their vaults. @SentoraHQ's Protected USD and Protected RWA vaults are the first to offer it. The covered events, price and capacity are registered onchain, and staked XRP on @FlareNetworks supplies the cover capital.
