Superform Launches ‘Set-and-Forget’ USDC Yield Product, Bags $3M VanEck Deal

  • Superform launches SuperUSDC, offering automated yield management for USDC stablecoin holders.
  • VanEck Ventures leads $3 million strategic funding round as its first investment from new $30 million fund.
  • Platform reports over 100,000 wallet interactions since early access launch.

Crypto yield platform Superform introduced SuperUSDC, an automated yield management product for Circle’s USDC stablecoin, marking its first SuperVault offering amid growing institutional interest in decentralized finance yields. The launch follows a $3 million strategic funding round led by VanEck Ventures.

Automated Yield Strategy

The platform operates as a decentralized marketplace connecting users to yield opportunities across Ethereum and its scaling networks, including Arbitrum and Base. SuperUSDC manages 768 vaults through an algorithm designed to optimize returns based on platform data.

Superform Labs CEO Vikram Arun told Decrypt, "SuperVaults is what we created in response to what was the most in-demand feature from users." The product aims to simplify yield farming – the practice of lending or staking cryptocurrency assets for returns – through automated allocation strategies.

Institutional Backing and Market Growth

The launch comes as the stablecoin market shows significant expansion, with total capitalization reaching $200 billion, according to DefiLlama. Tether‘s USDT leads with $139 billion in market cap, while USDC holds $41 billion.

Circle Ventures backed Superform’s initial $6.5 million seed round in November 2022, led by Polychain Capital with participation from Bitmex co-founder Arthur Hayes. The investment proceeded despite market turbulence following VanEck’s venture fund launch.

The platform’s growth occurs as Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler previously compared stablecoins in DeFi to "poker chips." However, pending bipartisan legislation may soon establish a federal framework for stablecoin regulation.

Addressing past market incidents, including the $40 billion collapse of UST and Luna, Arun emphasized transparency: "I think it’s really important for us to align with good actors and build products that anybody can verify on-chain and don’t create additional trust assumptions."
