Strategy Use Cases and Benefits

Use Cases

Gauntlet USD Alpha has a wide variety of applicable use cases for crypto-native and traditional financial institutions alike:

• Asset Managers & Financial Institutions: Financial institutions interested in offering custom yield strategies directly to their customers.

• L1 & L2 Ecosystems: Blockchains looking to bootstrap their DeFi ecosystem by offering native yield opportunities.

• Wallet Providers & Exchanges: Platforms with existing crypto-native user bases can integrate Aera vaults to offer their users seamless access to yield strategies directly within their familiar interface, enhancing user retention and engagement.

• RWA (Real-World Asset) Issuers & Platforms: Entities tokenizing real-world assets can partner with Aera to create yield-bearing products that combine RWAs with DeFi-native strategies. Check out our launch with Securitize and Apollo to see what’s possible.

Any organization wanting to offer innovative, on-chain financial strategies without the overhead of building and managing complex portfolio and risk management infrastructure from scratch can be a strong partner.
