Bitcoin is becoming productive!
Proud to build the rails for institutional WBTC yield onchain with this exceptional group of partners.
WBTC is going onchain with @Two_Prime.
The new Axiom WBTC Yield Vault brings WBTC into an institutional lending product, built with @paretocredit, @ICE_Markets, @CopperHQ and @Morpho.
More details below 👇
When we started building Pareto, launching a credit facility meant months of bespoke work across legal, product and engineering.
We knew this couldn’t scale.
Pareto Studio is our answer: the infrastructure we built for ourselves, now available to everyone.
Launching a credit facility onchain has meant months of legal structuring, custom contracts, and integration work.
That changes today.
Pareto Studio lets you structure and deploy your own Credit Vault in 15 minutes!

Matteo Pandolfi, CEO and Co-founder of Pareto and Craig Birchall, Head of Lending at @FalconXGlobal are joining @Unchained_pod's @bitsandbips podcast to discuss $16T repo market and how onchain credit can build on it.
Tune in!
Repo Is $16T. Onchain Credit Is $5B. What's Missing? xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1PKqrEmrM…
Big milestone for Pareto 🎯
Expanding the FalconX Credit Vault to Monad shows where onchain credit is heading: institutional-grade facilities, transparent infrastructure, and distribution across high-performance ecosystems.
Keep pushing 💪
Fresh look, same mission.
Our new Pareto Credit landing page is live 🚀
Faster, cleaner, and built for what’s next in Credit.
Go take a look 👀
@paretocredit
Credit markets still run on outdated legacy systems
Trillions are managed through spreadsheets and phone calls
Opacity is the norm and risk hides in the gaps

Pareto turns 1! 🎉
One year ago, Pareto started with a simple goal: bring institutional private credit onchain.
Since then:
- $100m+ TVL secured
- $1b+ in credit extended
- $3m+ interest distributed
- Our credit-backed synthetic dollar $USP launched
None of this would be possible without the people who built, trusted, and challenged us along the way:
- @M11Credit
- @Rockaway_X
- @FalconXGlobal
- @FasanaraDigital
- @BastionTrading
- @adaptivefront
- @KeyringNetwork
- @L1Advisors
- @ParetoNews
- @pendle_fi
- @Morpho
- @gauntlet_xyz
- @term_labs
- @Balancer

Private credit is the next prominent use case of tokenization beyond stablecoins.
In the United States alone, private credit assets amount to roughly $1.5T. Despite the scale, the market remains bound by two critical structural frictions: 1) borrowers pledge collateral to custodians and effectively surrender control of the asset, and 2) private credit operates in siloed verticals – agriculture, real estate, commodities, etc - with little interconnection. Onchain private credit is structurally more efficient, and I believe that it’ll transform this asset class.
By recording collateral onchain, borrowers receive tokens representing their pledged assets; those tokens can then be reused as collateral in other strategies, unlocking capital efficiency and enabling composability across trading venues. With institutional‑grade risk management, tokenized credit instruments could bridge verticals, allowing capital to flow between sectors that are currently segregated.
To demonstrate this concept, @FalconXGlobal, in partnership with @M11Credit and @paretocredit, has tokenized an institutional loan book. Depositors commit USDC to a vault and receive tokenized shares (CV tokens) of the underlying loan portfolio. These tokens can be posted as collateral on Morpho to borrow additional USDC, and the borrowed capital is recycled back into the vault within predefined risk limits.
This design turns a conventional credit asset into a dynamic, collateralizable instrument so investors can obtain leverage without liquidating their positions.
Although this facility is still small relative to our $1B+ credit book, it demonstrates the potential of tokenized private credit. By combining transparent, 24/7 settlement with composability and controlled leverage, tokenization could connect disparate credit markets and unlock significant capital efficiency.
I’m very bullish about bringing private credit markets onchain and excited to innovate!

"Today, I want to talk about a new emerging YBS player: Pareto"
@paretocredit is pioneering institutional-grade yield from RWA-backed lending activities
Backed by real-world assets, optimized for on-chain performance
→ If you're not in this, you're missing one of the clearest opportunities in DeFi
There are 2 easy ways to acquire USP ↓
1/ Permissioned Minting (KYC Required)
Mint directly via Pareto’s app at app.pareto.credit/usp
KYC → Deposit USDC/USDS via Pareto → Mint USP (no slippage)
2/ Permissionless On‑Chain Acquisition
Trade on Balancer V3 pool → Swap USDC ↔ USP directly
Provide liquidity to the USP/USDC pool on the same Balancer V3 pair
• Earn trading fees
• Receives 3x Pareto Efficiency points
_____________________________________________
USP = Transparent, Yield-Backed Stability
Here’s what powers USP ↓
• $1.00 peg | 100%+ collateralized
• $1.39M TVL backed by institutional credit
• sUSP earns 9.25% APY
Yield sources? 100% transparent on-chain:
• @FasanaraDigital Credit Vault: $1.12M (80.16%) → Basis trading strategies with managed risk
• @BastionTrading Credit Vault: $97.8K (7%) → Derivatives & market-making exposure
• USDS: $159K (11.4%)
• Unlent: $20K (1.43%)
Over the past two weeks, USP’s capital allocation and vault performance have been stable and gradually increasing a sign of growing confidence and institutional participation

2. Stake USP and get sUSP
3. Deposit sUSP at app.pendle.finance/trade/poo…
4. Enjoy 4.5x EP boost 🚀
sUSP is now live on @pendle_fi! 🔥🔥🔥
Explore new ways to earn yield and Efficiency Points:
✨ Buy PT-sUSP and lock in a fixed yield (redeemable on Aug 28, 2025).
Ideal for stable returns, plus can be used as collateral.
✨ Choose YT-sUSP to bet on sUSP’s variable yield and capture upside.
Higher risk, higher potential rewards. Yield chasers welcome 😎
✨ Provide liquidity through LP-sUSP and earn from FIVE sources:
- sUSP underlying yield
- PT-sUSP fixed yield
- Swap fees from Pendle traders
- Pendle incentives
- Pareto’s Efficiency Points
🔥 All sUSP positions on Pendle will benefit from a 4.5x Efficiency Points multiplier! 💪
