XSY.fi, a decentralized finance (DeFi) capital management platform, has launched the beta version of its digital synthetic dollar Unity (UTY) on Avalanche (AVAX), as per the reports shared with Finbold on Thursday, May 15.
The launch highlights the ever-growing institutional interest in DeFi solutions and comes just as XSY is closing a $5 million pre-series A funding round led by Protagonist and Borderless Capital and backed by investors including Paper Ventures, Chainview Capital, Blizzard the Avalanche Fund, and Sonic Boom Ventures.
What is XSY’s Unity?
A next-gen synthetic dollar, Unity is designed to promote liquidity and capital efficiency in blockchain ecosystems.
Namely, Unity lets AVAX holders maintain price exposure while earning yield by combining long spot holdings with short perpetual futures.
This model has helped XSY draw over $20 million before the beta even launched.
W. Sean Ford, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of XSY, called Avalanche the natural choice for the launch of Unity, stating:
“DeFi has made extraordinary technical progress, but accessing complex, high-performing strategies remains fragmented and operationally intensive. Avalanche provides the speed, scalability, and composability that sophisticated DeFi strategies like Unity demand — making it a natural foundation for our platform’s debut.”
Delta-neutral yield strategies
Following the launch, early Unity users will have access to a delta-neutral yield strategy, which makes complex DeFi instruments more accessible to treasuries, funds, and individual users.
As such, it will help unlock more native capital within the Avalanche ecosystem.
In addition, the Avalanche offers the performance, finality, and composability critical for real-time capital deployment, meaning the launch can help accelerate the fusion of traditional and decentralized finance, according to John Nahas, Chief Business Officer at Ava Labs.
The launch of Unity on Avalanche thus marks a significant milestone for both XSY.fi, introducing blockchain-native performance to its institutional-grade yield strategies.
