Asseto Launches On-Chain Funding Rate Arbitrage Fund Product AoABT

In May 2025, the core fund product AoABT of the new generation physical asset platform Asseto was officially launched on a certain public chain. This marks the first time that funding rate arbitrage strategies are opened to professional investors in an on-chain format, promoting the deep integration of traditional financial strategies and blockchain technology.

The underlying strategy of AoABT is managed by a seasoned crypto trading team, with a Hong Kong asset management company serving as an advisor. This strategy captures the long-standing funding rates and price difference opportunities between exchanges while avoiding market price fluctuations through a long-short hedging structure. Over the past five years, this strategy has achieved an annualized return of 20%, with a historical maximum drawdown of less than 1%, and the current managed assets exceed $500 million.

The AoABT version launched on a certain public blockchain has a minimum investment amount of $100,000 (or equivalent in USDT) for the underlying fund, offering various share options. This is the first time this strategy provides a unified entry point for both off-chain and on-chain users, establishing a technical and compliance channel between traditional assets and the crypto ecosystem. The on-chain issuance is supported by smart contract processes for subscription, redemption, and asset mapping, significantly enhancing user participation efficiency and capital flow transparency.

The Asseto team members come from several top international financial institutions, with partners including multiple well-known organizations. The platform is dedicated to providing solutions for on-chain real assets while bridging off-chain asset allocation channels, constructing an asset network that enables "two-way circulation of on-chain and off-chain assets."

As a high-performance public chain infrastructure, a certain public chain is committed to creating a trustworthy and scalable landing environment for physical assets. This cooperation with Asseto is an important step towards the structured development of high-quality asset infrastructure on-chain, and it also provides a new on-chain configuration model for institutional-level funding.

With the official deployment of AoABT, Asseto plans to further advance the on-chain deployment of the currency market funds it supports, BTC arbitrage, and multi-strategy products, while exploring pathways for integration with DeFi protocols. Their goal is to build a composable, low-threshold, and highly transparent on-chain wealth management system on this public chain, injecting more replicable and scalable asset types into the real asset track.
