Resolv Labs, a UAE-based crypto innovator, has just raised $10 million in a seed investment round to supercharge the growth of its yield-focused stablecoin protocol, Resolv. The round attracted a strong mix of Web3 and fintech backers, putting the spotlight on the company’s unique approach to delivering stable returns in volatile crypto markets.
Backed by Crypto Heavyweights
The funding round was led by Cyber.Fund and Maven11, with major participation from Coinbase Ventures, SCB Limited, Arrington Capital, and Animoca Ventures. Additional backers include Gumi Cryptos, NoLimit Holdings, and Robot Ventures—all signaling strong confidence in Resolv’s mission and model.
What’s Next for Resolv?
With this $10M in fresh capital, Resolv Labs has big plans ahead:
- ✅ Expand revenue streams by adding Bitcoin-based yield strategies
- ✅ Deepen ties with institutional digital asset managers
- ✅ Integrate with more blockchains to reach a broader user base
This multi-pronged growth strategy reflects the company’s vision to evolve into a major player in decentralized finance (DeFi) while offering a safer alternative to traditional crypto investments.
How does Resolv work?
At the core of Resolv is its stablecoin, USR, which is pegged to the U.S. dollar. Unlike traditional stablecoins, Resolv is built on a delta-neutral return strategy, meaning it’s designed to offer stable, low-risk returns while reducing exposure to the wild price swings typical in crypto.
Here’s how the model breaks down:
USR Holders (First Layer):
- Receive stable, low-risk returns
- Less exposed to market volatility
RLP Holders (Second Layer):
- Bear more risk in return for higher, variable rewards
- Act as an “insurance layer” to balance the system
This two-tiered model borrows ideas from structured finance in traditional markets but keeps the benefits of decentralization and transparency.
Performance So Far
Resolv has grown rapidly since its launch in September 2024. The protocol’s assets under management (AUM) peaked at over $600 million, largely driven by a post-election crypto rally after Donald Trump’s victory. However, recent market downturns have seen the Total Value Locked (TVL) dip to $450 million, according to DefiLlama.
Still, the protocol’s long-term growth potential, combined with its commitment to stability and decentralization, makes it one to watch in the DeFi space.
The Road Ahead
With strong backing, a solid user base, and innovative tokenomics, Resolv Labs is now well-positioned to scale across new markets and blockchains. Whether you’re an institutional investor or a retail crypto enthusiast looking for stability, Resolv is aiming to redefine what yield generation in DeFi can look like.
