R2 Vaults Upgrade: Official Launch of a Clear Dual-Layer Yield Structure
R2 Vaults has undergone a significant upgrade. This upgrade will be officially launched with Season 2 (S2), providing clearer yield stratification to meet the needs of users with different risk and liquidity preferences. At the same time, R2 always adheres to its core principle:
Bringing real, transparent Real World Asset (RWA) yields on-chain.
After the upgrade, R2 will offer two clearly positioned Vaults with distinct risk and liquidity characteristics:
- sR2USD: A core yield Vault with high liquidity and low risk
- sR2USD+: An enhanced yield Vault for long-term capital, operating on a Season cycle
The underlying yields of both Vaults are 100% derived from institutional-grade Real World Assets (RWA), with no reliance on leverage or token inflation.
sR2USD: Core Stable Yield Vault
Target APY: approximately 5.0%–5.5% (pure RWA yield)
sR2USD is designed for users seeking stable returns, high liquidity, and a predictable redemption experience, positioned as R2’s core low-risk yield product.
Asset Portfolio
- VBILL (25%): Liquidity anchor asset and quick redemption buffer
- USCC (40%): Enhanced liquidity yield (T+3)
- STAC (25%): Stable and predictable cash flow (T+3)
- MB (10%): Short-term, cash flow-supported yield enhancement asset
Core Features
- Risk Level: Low
- Liquidity: High
- Redemption Cycle: T+3
- Yield Distribution: Settled every 90-day Season cycle
The goal of sR2USD is to become a high-quality on-chain “cash management” product, balancing stability, liquidity, and real yield.
sR2USD+: Enhanced Yield Season Vault
Target APY: approximately 8.0%–10.0% (pure RWA yield)
sR2USD+ is designed for users willing to lock in funds for a full Season cycle in exchange for higher yields, achieving higher returns through a longer duration and a more diversified asset structure.
Asset Portfolio
- VBILL (5%): NAV stability and minimal liquidity buffer
- USCC (35%): Enhanced liquidity yield (T+3)
- STAC (10%): Stable cash flow asset (T+3)
- MB (30%): Short- to mid-term yield enhancement asset
- Apollo (20%): Long-term, institutional-grade yield asset
Core Features
- Risk Level: Low–Medium
- Liquidity: Medium
- Redemption Method: Redeem at the end of the Season
- Yield Distribution: Settled every 90-day Season cycle
While maintaining transparency and prudent risk management, controlled duration and credit exposure are introduced to unlock higher real yield potential.
Why is this upgrade important?
- Clearer product positioning: Liquidity first or yield maximization, clear at a glance
- Pure RWA yield: No leverage, no synthetic yield design
- Institutional-grade asset structure: Diversified assets, clear cash flow paths, predictable redemption
- Season mechanism design: Natural matching of fund duration and underlying assets
Through this upgrade, R2 further strengthens its positioning as On-chain Real Yield Infrastructure, enabling real-world yields to flow more naturally into Web3.
In the future, R2 will continue to optimize asset portfolios, transparency disclosures, and ecosystem integration, making real yields simpler, more trustworthy, and more globalized.
Season 2 is about to begin. Please stay tuned for more details and performance data.

According to media reports, TSMC's advanced and high-priced processes such as 2nm and 3nm have seen the largest price increases; mature and specialty processes are subject to individual negotiation based on products, capacity utilization, and customer conditions. Currently, TSMC's 8-inch fabs have a capacity utilization rate exceeding 100%, and processes below 45nm are at full capacity. The construction of AI data centers is not only driving demand for GPU and HBM, but also boosting orders for mature processes such as PMIC, MCU, and analog ICs.
U.S. Treasury plans to repurchase up to $6 billion in long-term bonds, 30-year yield hits highest since 2007
This is the second round of enhanced long-term bond buybacks by the Treasury, this time focusing on 20- to 30-year government bonds. After the announcement of the planned upper limit, the yield on 30-year U.S. Treasury bonds continued to rise, at one point exceeding 5.4%. In the first round of enhanced buybacks two weeks ago, the upper buyback target was also $6 billion, which was lower than some market participants had expected, and the actual buyback amounted to only $5.2 billion due to insufficient competitive bidding, according to the Treasury.
