With RebelFi
- Treasury earns during idle periods

- Ring-fenced wallets enforce segregation
- Automatic audit trails
- Liquidity buffers maintain withdrawal capacity
Use case
Exchanges
Generate yield without risking customer funds. Earn on treasury while keeping deposits isolated.
The challenge
Exchanges hold significant stablecoin reserves but face a dilemma: earning yield on customer deposits creates commingling risk and regulatory exposure. Treasury yield requires separating operational capital from customer funds while maintaining liquidity for withdrawals.
Without RebelFi
- Treasury earns nothing in cold storage
- Yield on deposits creates regulatory risk
- Customer and treasury funds commingled
- Manual reconciliation for audits
- Liquidity vs yield tradeoff
How it works
- 1
Separate treasury from deposits
Ring-fenced wallets enforce fund segregation.
- 2
Define yield policy
Set liquidity buffers, approved sources, and risk limits.
- 3
Deploy treasury capital
Only institution-owned funds touch yield strategies.
- 4
Maintain withdrawal capacity
Automatic unwind when liquidity needs arise.
