Abu Dhabi-based Resolv Labs has announced a $10 million seed funding round to accelerate the growth of its yield-bearing stablecoin protocol, Resolv. The round was led by Cyber.Fund and Maven11, with notable participation from Coinbase Ventures, SCB Limited, Arrington Capital, Animoca Ventures, and others including Gumi Cryptos, NoLimit Holdings, and Robot Ventures.
The new capital will be used to diversify Resolv’s yield sources, including the addition of Bitcoin-based strategies, and deepen integration with institutional digital asset managers. The company also plans to expand its reach by launching on additional blockchain networks to target a broader user base.
Resolv’s core innovation lies in offering a delta-neutral yield strategy through its stablecoin, USR, which is pegged to the US dollar. The USR token is designed to deliver stable returns from crypto markets while minimising exposure to price volatility.
CEO Evan Kozloff explained that the protocol draws inspiration from structured finance models in traditional markets. It introduces a two-tiered risk structure:
- Tier 1 (USR holders): Low-risk profile with stable, modest yields.
- Tier 2 (RLP token holders): Higher-risk “insurance” layer with variable returns.
- This model aims to balance stability and decentralisation, offering investors a new form of structured yield in crypto markets.
Since its launch in September 2024, Resolv has experienced rapid growth. According to DefiLlama, total assets under management peaked at $600 million, driven by post-election market optimism. However, TVL dropped to approximately $450 million in April 2025, reflecting a slowdown in market returns.
Resolv Labs continues to position itself as a pioneer in decentralised, low-risk yield strategies and plans to scale its protocol to become a cornerstone of the next generation of stablecoin utility.
