Anzen Expands Collateral Backing with Institutional Fund Products from Superstate
Bridging DeFi and TradFi: Strengthening USDz with Institutional-Grade Collateral
At Anzen, we are committed to building a stable, yield-bearing portfolio that remains resilient across market cycles. Today, we’re excited to announce a major step forward in that mission: the expansion of USDz’s collateral framework to include institutional-grade fund products from Superstate.
This integration enhances the stability and liquidity of USDz while reinforcing our dedication to leveraging real-world assets (RWA) in decentralized finance. By incorporating Superstate’s tokenized funds, Anzen gains greater flexibility in managing liquidity and optimizing collateral efficiency—all while maintaining the highest institutional standards.
What is Superstate?
Superstate is at the forefront of modernizing traditional investment products through blockchain tokenization. Their funds combine institutional-grade compliance, risk management, and programmability, making them a natural fit for the Anzen Protocol.
Additionally, Superstate operates with a bankruptcy-remote trust structure, ensuring the highest level of asset protection. Importantly, their short redemption durations give Anzen the agility to balance on-chain liquidity needs without compromising stability.
Introducing Superstate’s Institutional-Grade Fund Products
The Anzen investment committee has approved the following Superstate fund products into its collateral mix:
1. USCC – Superstate Crypto Carry Fund
The Superstate Crypto Carry Fund offers exposure to crypto basis trading strategies, optimizing the yield and risk of cash-and-carry trades across:
- Bitcoin basis markets
- Ether basis markets (including staking ETH)
- U.S. Treasury securities
Ownership in the fund is represented by USCC, an permissioned ERC-20 token. Subscriptions and redemptions are facilitated daily via USD or USDC, ensuring seamless liquidity for institutional participants.
2. USTB – Superstate Short Duration US Government Securities Fund
The Superstate Short Duration US Government Securities Fund is designed to offer exposure to short-duration U.S. Treasury Bills, providing:
- Liquidity and capital stability
- Returns in line with the federal funds rate
- A fully tokenized structure via the USTB ERC-20 token
Like USCC, USTB allows daily subscriptions and redemptions via USD or USDC, ensuring accessibility for institutional investors.
What This Means for Anzen and USDz Holders
By incorporating these high-quality, tokenized institutional funds into the collateral base, Anzen is strengthening USDz’s stability, liquidity, and capital efficiency. This means:
- Greater Resilience – More diversified, high-quality collateral backing USDz.
- Increased Liquidity – Faster access to redemptions and on-chain liquidity adjustments.
- Institutional-Grade Security – Bankruptcy-remote structures ensure strong asset protection.
A Stronger Future for RWA in DeFi
The expansion of USDz’s collateral framework with Superstate’s institutional products represents another milestone in bridging the gap between TradFi and DeFi. We believe that real-world assets will continue to shape the next evolution of decentralized finance, driven by secure, yield-generating assets.
As the protocol continues to grow, Anzen remains committed to delivering a stable, transparent, and sustainable digital currency that meets the needs of long-term holders and institutions alike.
