Clearpool is proud to announce its collaboration with Flare, the blockchain for data, and The Hex Trust Group, the digital asset custodian with billions in assets under custody, by launching a dedicated vault for holders to earn yield for the newly launched stablecoin, USDX.

Developed by HT Digital Assets, Hex Trust’s tokenization ecosystem, USDX will provide a vital DeFi primitive for money management on Flare, with backing maintained at a steadfast 1:1 ratio against the U.S. dollar or equivalently valued assets. These reserves, which primarily consist of 1–3 month T-Bills, are securely held by regulated tier-1 financial institutions, ensuring that holders can place their trust in the value and resilience of the stablecoin.

USDX can be staked to a dedicated T-Pool on Clearpool to earn real world yield. This offers the flexibility to deposit and withdraw at any time without lock-up periods, maximizing returns through both the base yield and bonus FLR incentives. Staking USDX on Clearpool returns cUSDX, which can be used as collateral in Flare Labs’ FAsset system, supporting the use of non-smart contract assets such as BTC and DOGE in DeFi on Flare.

Hugo Philion, Co-Founder of Flare, said: “Stablecoins are fundamental for the development of a vibrant DeFi ecosystem. The collaboration between USDX and Clearpool on Flare delivers a 1:1 backed stable asset with immediate access to real world yield. This will be particularly useful for FAsset agents, putting their stable collateral to work even while it’s locked in the system.”

Jakob Kronbichler, CEO & Co-founder of Clearpool added: “Clearpool is the leading borrowing and lending dapp active on the top EVM-compatible chains. Launching a custom T-Pool for USDX on Flare is great for both everyday users who want to earn a real world yield from their stable holdings, and for FAssets agents who can earn additional yield for their USDX while it’s collateralized in the system.”

Alessio Quaglini, CEO & Co-Founder of Hex Trust said: “The launch of Hex Trust’s first native stablecoin, USDX, on the Flare network, in collaboration with Clearpool, marks a pivotal evolution in stablecoins. Powered by Hex Trust’s tokenization ecosystem, HT Digital Assets, USDX bridges the gap between traditional financial security and blockchain innovation. It promises to reduce cryptocurrency market volatility, streamline transactions, and enhance trust and security within the digital asset ecosystem.”

The launch on Flare marks Clearpool’s expansion to its seventh blockchain, following Ethereum, Polygon, Polygon zkEVM, Optimism, Mantle, and Avalanche. The new product, a yield vault for stablecoins, is a clear testament to Clearpool’s ongoing innovation and development, meeting the rising demand within the ecosystem for earning real-yield.
