How it works
Room40, a top-tier crypto fund, has established a standalone single purpose vehicle to be the sole borrower from the pool.
The borrower will use proceeds to purchase and hold short-dated US Treasury bills through a SEC and FINRA regulated broker dealer. The weighted average maturity of the portfolio will always be less than 30 days.
Using its broker dealer account, the borrower executes trades, clears, and custodies the Pool’s assets. The Lender Dashboard displays the portfolio of assets held in the brokerage account in real-time
The Cash Management Pool accepts deposits of USDC from non-US Accredited Investors and Entities. Interest automatically compounds and there is no maximum deposit size or lock-up period.
Withdrawals are processed on US banking days between 15:00 - 06:00 Eastern Time the next day.
Lenders have full recourse via an Account Control Deed to all assets held with regulated broker, enforced by the Security Agent, Maple Foundation.
