The boring three quarters: USDG, the ~7%, and where it comes from

75% of the treasury sits in USDG, the Paxos-issued Global Dollar that Robinhood Chain adopted as its native stablecoin — about 68% of all stablecoin value on the chain. The pick wasn't ours to make; it's simply where the chain's cash lives.

The ~7% figure you see on the treasury desk is the chain's own Earn rate on USDG, sourced from Morpho lending markets where institutional borrowers pay for liquidity — not a subsidy, and not our invention. The Global Dollar Network passes more than 90% of reserve yield back to its 130+ partners rather than keeping it at the issuer, which is why the sleeve earns anything at all.

“The vault earns whether or not anyone trades. That's the whole point of the boring three quarters.”

The other sleeves — 15% WETH, 10% screened index, capped — carry the upside and the risk. The cash sleeve is there so a quiet week still ends with the backing per token a hair higher than it started. Targets, not promises: rates move, and the disclaimer at the bottom of every page means what it says.
