Venus Protocol (@VenusProtocol): Venus, Hash Global, DigiFT & United Stables Launch hBNB Fixed-Rate Lending PoC

Venus, Hash Global, DigiFT & United Stables Launch hBNB Fixed-Rate Lending PoC Institutional demand for on-chain assets is evolving. Beyond holding tokenized assets, institutions increasingly need ways to access liquidity without selling their core positions, with predictable rates and defined terms. A proof-of-concept Hash Global Fixed Rate Vault is now live on Venus, built together with Hash Global, DigiFT and United Stables. The PoC demonstrates a structure that connects tokenized BNB fund units (hBNB) with fixed-rate liquidity: Hash Global uses hBNB as collateral to borrow $U at a fixed rate, while $U suppliers earn a fixed yield of 2.43% over a defined term. Terms are set upfront: a 7-day open period, followed by a 30-day fixed term. Each partner brings a key piece: Hash Global provides hBNB as collateral and borrowing demand, DigiFT delivers regulated tokenization infrastructure, United Stables supplies $U liquidity, and Venus provides the fixed-rate lending and risk framework that ties it all together on-chain. The result is a potential new pathway for institutional assets on BNB Chain to become more than just tokenized holdings, exploring how they could be used as collateral to access liquidity within DeFi. It also points to an additional utility for tokenized BNB exposure, as productive collateral on-chain. This PoC marks another step in exploring institutional use cases for Venus Fixed Rate Vaults, with more assets and structures to come. Supply $U → https://venus.io/#/vaults?chainId=56 hBNB is available only to eligible investors through DigiFT. Fixed rates apply for the specified vault term and do not constitute a guarantee of returns. DeFi involves risk. This content is not financial advice.
