Matrixdock Launches Tokenized Short-Term Treasury Bill Token (STBT) on InvestaX
Linh Tran

Singapore, January 15, 2024 - InvestaX, the leading tokenization SaaS platform licensed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), announces the launch of the Matrixdock Short-Term Treasury Bill Token (STBT) on InvestaX’s regulated tokenization platform, in partnership with Matrixdock, a premier platform that offers access to high-quality Real World Assets (RWA). 

STBT is a foundation for sophisticated digital asset portfolio construction. With its underlying asset in one of the safest and most liquid financial instruments - short-term U.S. Treasury securities - STBT brings a safe haven asset on-chain.

A New Frontier for Real-World “Risk-Free” Yield

The STBT token is designed to provide accredited investors with the benefits of short-term U.S. Treasury yields while leveraging the transparency and accessibility of blockchain technology. Fully backed by U.S. Treasury securities maturing within six months, STBT is a low volatility and low correlation diversification for digital asset portfolios. Maintaining a 1:1 peg to USD, the token seamlessly distributes yield daily, offering investors a dependable income stream.

By bringing short-term Treasury bills on-chain, the product offers a capital preservation and yield generation solution for digital asset treasury management. This particularly benefits DeFi projects and crypto investors to keep their capital in safe-haven assets, especially during volatile market conditions.  

Potential Use Cases and Benefits of STBT

On-Chain Treasury Management
Ideal for DeFi projects, protocols, and high-net-worth individuals seeking a low-volatility option to manage their non-crypto holdings on-chain and generate stable, real-world yields.  STBT can serve as a foundation for portfolio diversification and achieving higher risk-adjusted returns. 

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) Yield Farming
STBT can be deployed in liquidity pools (e.g., STBT/3CRV on Curve Finance) to earn additional rewards and incentives.

Collateralized Lending
The wrapped version of STBT, wSTBT, is accepted on selected lending platforms like Term Finance, enabling holders to borrow stablecoins while continuing to earn yield. STBT’s low correlation with crypto market price movements reduces the risk of liquidation, even during crypto market downturns.

Daily Yield Distribution

STBT offers daily yield, powered by a rebase mechanism, where token balance accrues daily.  

Seamless Redemption

Investors can redeem STBT into stablecoins such as USDC, with processing normally completed on the same day (T+0) or within two business days (T+2).

This collaboration underscores our commitment to distributing innovative real-world asset (RWA) products through compliant channels to end users.
