The service converts U.S. dollars into fiat-backed USDC on Compound, which allows institutions to earn fixed annual yields of 4%. The size of the bank’s allocation into Compound Treasury was not disclosed. 

SCB 10X is a venture capitalist in the crypto space and is also involved in constructing infrastructure in the area.

This is a big step forward as SCB’s board of directors, and the bank’s risk-averse treasury management team are confident enough to participate in DeFi.
