@MoriniCapital is bringing enhanced transparency to all its vaults on Piku Finance. The CarryTradeUSDTRYLeverage attestation dashboard is now live: 104.8% collateralization, verified onchain.
Leading the way in transparency.
View the attestation report ↓

We have collaborated with @vlayer_xyz to implement a cutting-edge attestation process, thereby enhancing the transparency of the BasisTrade @MidasRWA whitelabel vault.
The 101.0% collateralization percentage indicates that the strategy holds a greater number of assets in its backing compared to on-chain deposits, ensuring its full collateralization.
At Piku, we are pioneering the realm of RWAs.

@PikuFinance's @MoriniCapital is launching a delta-neutral FX arbitrage vault on Ethereum, with the underlying NAV continuously computed and verified onchain through Accountable's Data Verification Network.

Midas' Vault OS, our white-label infrastructure for issuing and operating onchain vaults, now powers vaults on @PikuFinance.
Today, Piku Finance launches three new tokenized vaults, all issued by @MoriniCapital on Ethereum.
Each provides on-chain access to a different regulated yield strategy:
• Morini aFXArbUSDTRY provides tokenized access to Balsa Market Making Fund (BMMF), a delta-neutral market-making fund in the Turkish crypto market.
• Morini StockMarketTRBasisTrade provides access to a regulated Delta-Neutral Basis Trade arbitrage strategy on Borsa Istanbul equities.
• Morini CarryTradeUSDTRYLeverage provides access to a regulated Turkish Lira leveraged carry trade strategy.
This is the most material product expansion since USP. 🧵

I think Turkey has some of the most interesting high-yield opportunities rn, but the problem is that we don't really have a good way to access them.
About a month ago, Proposal 34 on @SnapshotLabs helped move Piku’s public positioning from PikuDAO / USP into @PikuFinance, which is a more professional FX Yield Terminal.
Now, Piku is launching 3 new vault products, all issued by Morini Capital:
→ Morini aFXArbUSDTRY
A standalone vault for the main strategy behind USP, focused on Turkish FX arbitrage.
→ Morini CarryTradeUSDTRYLeverage
The higher-risk TRY carry vault. More upside potential, but also real FX + leverage risk.
→ Morini StockMarketTRBasisTrade
A delta-neutral vault for Turkish equity arbitrage. It’s USD-hedged and built to act as the diversifier.
I think the interesting part here is that Piku/Morini turns access to these off-chain Turkish strategies into ERC-20 vault tokens.
So instead of needing traditional fund access, local market setup, or direct relationships with Turkish operators, you can get the exposure packaged into a vault token that you can hold in your wallet.
NGL, I think this gives people way more choice compared to most generic stablecoin/vault products.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI.
AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.
The future of vaults
Human-curated DeFi strategies don’t scale.
The next phase is programmable, risk-aware allocation at machine speed.

You can earn a solid yield just by parking stablecoins.
But not all of them are built the same.
Top 10 stablecoin yield picks by APY (last 30 days, February data):
1. @UnitasLabs sUSDu: 12.13%
Yield from delta hedging a JLP position. $64M TVL.
2. @gaib_ai sAID: 11.56%
Yield from staked $AID. $15.78M TVL.
3. @MidasRWA mF-ONE: 11.18%

Stablecoin issuers like @piku_dao are routing their backing through multi-strategy vaults.
Parking reserves in one lending market means yield compresses when everyone else's does. Blending onchain and OTC strategies spreads that across uncorrelated sources.
earnAUSD: 7.5% APY, $70M TVL, 4 months.
Backing Update: Upshift earnAUSD
5% of USP Piku backing deployed to Upshift earnAUSD.
Optimization continues🎯
ALT The primary goal of PikuDAO is to create a stablecoin that maintains its purchasing power that also generates yield for its holders. This is achieved through a backing model that includes arbitrage strategies, carry trades, on-chain yield and RWAs. The goal is to hedge against the excessive money printing by governments, which dilutes the value of fiat currencies. By simplifying access to complex strategies and yields, PikuDAO is offering USP, a yield-optimized stablecoin.
USP Piku is live on Morpho with AlphaPing! USP Piku is backed by FX Arb Strategies and now it can be looped for extra yield!

🚨 Nobel Prize winner just invented a machine that pulls clean water out of thin air. Up to 1,000 liters per day, powered by ambient heat, and works in deserts.
Omar Yaghi won the 2025 Nobel Prize in chemistry for inventing this. It uses "reticular chemistry" to create materials that extract moisture from air even in arid conditions.
UN just said we're in "global water bankruptcy era." 2.2 billion people lack safe drinking water. 3.5 billion lack sanitation. 4 billion experience severe water scarcity at least one month per year.
Yaghi grew up in a refugee camp in Jordan with no running water. So he invented a machine that makes water appear from nothing.
