Why USDC?

Stability, compliance, and ecosystem integration.

OLTA is built around USDC to provide a stable, transparent, and interoperable foundation for on-chain structured investment products.

Unlike volatile base assets, USDC enables clear, auditable pricing and efficient capital flows, which are essential when modeling Net Asset Value (NAV), executing automated transactions, and minimizing operational risk.

Each month, Circle publishes attestations verified by Deloitte, a Big Four accounting firm, confirming that USDC is fully backed 1:1 by cash and short-dated U.S. Treasuries. Circle Transparency Reports S&P Global Assessment of USDC

Circle also partners with BlackRock (managing the Circle Reserve Fund) and BNY Mellon (custodian), reinforcing the institutional-grade infrastructure backing USDC. Circle x BlackRock Partnership

USDC’s regulatory alignment, widespread DeFi integration, and compatibility with institutional custody standards make it the ideal settlement layer for OLTA’s indexing logic.

By anchoring to a trusted and regulated stablecoin, OLTA simplifies user experience while enabling cross-platform composability and future-proof integrations across crypto-native and traditional finance applications.

Openness to Other Stablecoins

While USDC is the native settlement layer for OLTA, the protocol remains open to strategic partnerships with other stablecoins such as USDT or USD1 (World Liberty Financial), which has generated strong institutional interest and attractive funding opportunities.

OLTA will align itself only with the most relevant and robust partnerships presented to it, ensuring every integration contributes to a stronger, more resilient, and institutionally aligned ecosystem.
