A $10 million seed funding round has been announced by Abu Dhabi-based Resolv Labs to boost the expansion of its yield-bearing stablecoin protocol, Resolv. With significant involvement from Coinbase Ventures, SCB Limited, Arrington Capital, Animoca Ventures, Gumi Cryptos, NoLimit Holdings, and Robot Ventures, the round was led by Cyber.Fund and Maven11.
The additional funds will be utilized to strengthen Resolv’s relationship with institutional digital asset managers and diversify its yield sources, including the addition of Bitcoin-based strategies. Additionally, in order to reach a wider user base, the company intends to launch on more blockchain networks.
Offering a delta-neutral yield strategy via its USR stablecoin, which is based on the US dollar, is Resolv’s primary innovation. The USR token is intended to reduce exposure to price volatility while providing consistent returns from cryptocurrency markets.
The protocol is inspired by structured finance models in conventional markets, according to CEO Evan Kozloff. A two-tiered risk structure is introduced:
Tier 1 (holders of USR): stable, modest yields with a low risk profile.
Tier 2: Variable-return, higher-risk “insurance” layer (holders of RLP tokens).
This model offers investors a new kind of structured yield in cryptocurrency markets by attempting to strike a balance between stability and decentralization.
Since its September 2024 launch, Resolv has grown quickly. Post-election market optimism drove the total assets under management to a peak of $600 million, according to DefiLlama. But as market returns slowed, TVL fell to about $450 million in April 2025.
Resolv Labs intends to expand its protocol and establish itself as a key component of the upcoming stablecoin utility generation, while maintaining its position as a leader in decentralized, low-risk yield strategies.
