Why HELIX

Composability of DeFi, Confidence of TradFi.

Today, the world of Traditional Finance (TradFi) and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) are separated by a great divide. TradFi participants can’t access the composability, programmability, or liquidity of DeFi. DeFi stakeholders can’t access the security, certainty, and variety of real world assets (RWAs) in TradFi markets.

HELIX bridges that divide.

It starts with an institutional-grade stablecoin solution, that provides access to RWAs for DeFi stakeholders, and unlocks secondary liquidity for TradFi participants. The stablecoin stays on-chain, while the assets are locked securely off-chain, providing a holistic solution that leverages the security of TradFi real world assets, with the composability of DeFi applications.

HELIX gives the people what they want – access and accountability.

The future is here, the future is HELIX.

The HELIX Difference

Full-Stack Access to Real World Assets (RWAs)

Unlike other stablecoin issuers, HELIX provides access to the full RWA stack. From our USHD stablecoin, to the tokenization of RWAs, from the creation of regulated products, to tokenized yield for growth, you can be assured your value is secure within our ecosystem.

USHD, The Institutional-Grade Stablecoin

Unlike other stablecoin issuers, which hypothecate US Treasury Bill tokens, exposing these backing assets to hacks and other on-chain vulnerabilities, USHD is backed by actual US Treasury Bills and Money Market Funds, creating secure off-chain cash-equivalents.

The Confidence of TradFi RWAs

Collateralized by regulated, and compliant RWAs, USHD is a dollar-pegged stablecoin, backed by the safety and security of off-chain RWAs, with the composability and versatility of on-chain applications.

RWAs Secured Off-Chain

Although USHD is a purely on-chain stablecoin, the Real World Assets, such as the Money Market Funds that back USHD exist entirely off-chain, ensuring that there are no on-chain honeypots for hackers.

Composable with DeFi

The versatility of DeFi, without the unpredictability. Because HELIX owns and operates the entire USHD stack, users can access the full spectrum of DeFi composability, with with the security of off-chain RWAs.
