Hey all!
I’m excited to join the Olympus community. I lead Protocol Relations at Superstate, an asset management firm founded by Robert Leshner, building tokenized financial products.
We noticed Olympus balance sheet’s stablecoins are sitting idle, in legacy strategies, and believe we can help diversify the Treasury. By further activating your capital, you can finance growth, invest in the deployment of Olympus on Berachain, support increased investments, and extend the runway for years to come. Protecting Olympus DAO’s capital and preserving purchasing power is extremely important and is possible with Superstate’s liquid, bankruptcy-remote products.
Superstate offers a suite of tokenized funds, including USTB, a tokenized T-Bill fund, and USCC, a tokenized crypto cash-and-carry fund, collectively known as “Superstate Funds.” Learn more about Superstate here: superstate.co| superstate.co/ustb | superstate.co/uscc
We are a crypto-native asset management firm and work with a number of the largest protocols in the space to help onchain institutions, DAOs, Foundations, such as Arbitrum, Ethena, Omni, and Frax optimize balance sheets, stablecoin reserves, and insurance funds. We not only manage proprietary funds, but build technology compatible with crypto-native institutions, improving access to traditional investments through highly crypto-native products that inherit properties of onchain tokens but are backed by exceptional quality, liquid, transparent Funds. We would love to start a relationship with the community to evaluate how Olympus DAO, in partnership with current treasury strategies, can begin to ramp up diversifying its stablecoin positions and activating idle capital in a pragmatic manner over the coming months.

Many of these communities selected Superstate’s products through committee decisions—including Risk, Audit, Legal, and Financial Advisory firms—and rigorous due diligenceWe’re building our products to be fully composable across all DeFi, as exampled by key features of USTB (not yet available to USCC, but soon):
1. Continuous Pricing
- Earn interest by the second and mint tokens instantly.
- Our custom onchain oracle provides continuous pricing, updated with each new Net Asset Value (NAV). This is powered by a Chainlink data feed.
The oracle provides continuous pricing by using linear interpolation between the most recent NAV/S checkpoints. Any smart contract can request this price, with the oracle utilizing the Chainlink AggregatorV3Interface to ensure compatibility.
2. Protocol Mint & Redeem
- Mint or redeem shares atomically at real-time prices
- Access a $10M USDC instant redemption facility, refilled twice daily, with atomic smart contract calls for seamless operations
USTB enables protocols to mint and redeem shares at real-time prices, allowing organizations like Olympus DAO to ensure faster, predictable settlements and access to liquidity.
Conclusion
Superstate is well-positioned to support Olympus DAO’s treasury by offering sustainable, long-term yield solutions and enhancing financial stability.
We look forward to working with the current treasury managers to recommend an initial allocation and eventually ramp up to upgrade the treasury's strategies.
Here are a few ideas (and more) we’d like to explore with the Olympus DAO community:
– Migrate DAI to USDS, and stake for sUSDS
– Considering upgrading 10% of stablecoin reserves to market-neutral, higher yield products
– Explore the use of USTB for Protocol Mint and Redeem, up to $10M in exposure
For next steps, join us on a X Space on Tuesday 03/04 at 12:00 PM EST (17:00 UTC-5) to meet the Superstate team and discuss our efforts in Olympus DAO and beyond!
