Ozean Partners with Maple to Integrate SyrupUSDC into Blockchain Ecosystem

Ozean has partnered with Maple to integrate SyrupUSDC into their blockchain ecosystem, focusing on real-world asset (RWA) yield. This collaboration gives institutions improved yield opportunities, furthering decentralized finance (DeFi) in adopting RWA services. SyrupUSDC stablecoins, issued through Maple’s Syrup protocol, will be available via Ozean’s Pre-Deposit Campaign and Port Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) system.

Following its establishment, Maple has executed $6.5 billion worth of institutional lending operations. The addition of SyrupUSDC strengthens Ozean’s role as a compliant Layer 2 blockchain within the OP Stack utilizing Optimism’s Superchain. The initiative aims to provide multi-layered secure returns on investments for institutional finance organizations seeking new yield sources.

Ozean Enhances Institutional Yield Generation

Ozean’s Pre-Deposit Campaign allows users to deposit SyrupUSDC for early access to yield-bearing structured RWAs. Port’s institutional on-chain vault infrastructure will leverage SyrupUSDC to improve liquidity, accessibility, and diverse investment options. This integration with Maple’s lending system empowers Ozean to offer stable yield opportunities with high-security and compliance standards.

SyrupUSDC serves as a yield-bearing USDC deposit service, utilizing permissionless lending on Maple’s platform. This system provides institutional capital with a secure framework to engage in DeFi, maintaining regulatory standards. The collaboration simplifies the entrance for institutional investors into RWAs through a standardized on-chain process.

Maple Advances RWA Adoption in DeFi

The Ozean and Maple strategic partnership addresses two major issues in DeFi: restricted access to RWA yields and compliance challenges. Ozean functions as an RWA-specific Layer 2 blockchain, providing straightforward, regulatory-compliant solutions that merge traditional finance with blockchain technology. SyrupUSDC enhances the platform’s yield-generating assets, promoting greater institutional market involvement.

Maple’s established lending platform equips Ozean to deliver partnership solutions that connect DeFi and traditional financial services. This collaboration fosters a compliant network where institutions and RWAs mutually thrive within an integrated framework.
