A notable demonstration of the power of structured yield strategies is found at Abraxas Capital Management. The recent substantial returns from its crypto asset portfolio were impressive. The last couple months alone revealed a mind-blowing earnings figure: $5.92 million. And guess what? That’s interest income. In earning that figure, Abraxas both stayed true to a disciplined investment approach and stood in stark contrast to the far more speculative prospects offered by the broader crypto market. In fact, even in the crypto market, Abraxas is going against the grain and proving that structured, yield-generating strategies can deliver more reliable returns. Diversifying into Yield-Generating Assets Abraxas Capital Management took great strides to diversify its portfolio in the past few months, and it now boasts a set of new yield-producing positions. The firm recently bought 196 million sUSDe PT (Structured USD-Earned tokens), 21.01 million USDe PT (USD-Earned tokens), and 95.51 LBTC PT (Liquid Bitcoin). These are all structured assets designed to produce relatively stable returns. What’s particularly interesting about them? They’re kind of like CDs—Certificates of Deposit—in the blockchain world. Big institutions have a simple way of making money—money makes money.

They are hoping to access the potential of the crypto space while reducing the risk of accessing that space. Why? Because crypto is a risky, volatile, and speculative market right now. And it could be for some time. So, if you want to get part of the game and attempt to reach the outsized returns that might be available in the crypto space, then using structured products like the ones that Abraxas is making is a pretty intelligent way to do that. The assets Abraxas acquired are part of a larger trend of institutional investors moving into yield-bearing products in the cryptocurrency market. These products tend to offer more straightforward returns, with interest payments usually principal-secured and based on the underlying assets. By zeroing in on such structured products, Abraxas is much better positioned to manage its risk while maintaining its exposure to the digital asset ecosystem. Reliable Returns through Yield Income The firm’s strategy is obviously very fruitful. In just the last two months, Abraxas Capital Management has earned $5.92 million in interest income from these positions. That’s a pretty impressive return on their investments—in a relatively short period of time—in what they clearly view as very safe, very structured assets. Not only does this income underscore the potential of “structured yield” strategies to better speculative trades, but it also reinforces Abraxas’ position as a leader in the space when it comes to yield-focused investment strategies. Abraxas has succeeded with structured yield products, and that success has cemented their belief further that these kinds of strategies can offer more reliability and sustainability than traditional crypto speculation. The extreme volatility of the crypto market, with some assets experiencing sharp gains and then equally steep losses, is well known. By focusing on yield-generating positions, Abraxas is able to smooth out some of that volatility and produce a steady income stream, regardless of the movements of the broader market. A History of Successful Yield Strategies Abraxas Capital Management structured investment strategies that have enjoyed success in the past—most notably, Pendle PT—from which Abraxas earned $3.08 million. And Pendle PT, a product of Abraxas’s earlier structured investment strategies, earned that $3.08 million with $0.00 in realized losses. If Pendle PT could do that in 2021, and if Abraxas Capital is saying that LBTC, sUSDe, and USDe PTE are similarly reliable products, then these ought to be reliable too. These aren’t the type of worthless investment things you get when you pay for a financial advisor, in other words. Pendle PT is just one recent purchase Abraxas made in the crypto space, and like those assets, it has the potential to generate yield. Pendle PT serves as an example of something being built in the crypto space, specifically in DeFi, that can generate yield. We should take a moment to explore what Pendle PT is and how it—and the now-abandoned assets it was paired with—came to represent not just yield, but risk. The firm’s conviction that structured products are a better way to produce dependable returns in the cryptocurrency arena has only been reinforced by its experiences with Pendle PT. Abraxas now operates a structured-yield strategy that allows it to sidestep the speculative pitfalls of crypto trading (with all the upside potential that the digital asset market holds, of course). Conclusion: The Future of Crypto Investments Abraxas Capital Management’s recent success in yield-producing positions serves as a strong reminder that there are alternative ways to profit in the crypto market beyond the high-risk, high-reward speculative trades that dominate the headlines. Yield-generating investments in the crypto world are not necessarily something to be suspicious of, and they can be used to safely and reliably increase the total returns on an investment portfolio—just like with traditional finance. The stunning $5.92 million in interest income reported by Abraxas Capital for the past two months is better understood in the context of what most investment firms achieve with such strategies. As interest from institutions in the crypto space keeps growing, it’s likely that even more firms will move into structured products built around the idea of offering stable returns. Last week, however, we learned that Abraxas, a private equity firm, is the first to diversify into such a crypto-oriented structured product, which is pretty astonishing. Instead of doing what almost everyone else in the institutional space is still doing—focusing on price and, consequently, speculation—Abraxas has proven that crypto investments can be navigated in a way that tilts strongly toward profitability, with risk management pulled tight.
