Metis and Zoth Expand DeFi Opportunities with ZeUSD Integration
Toronto, ON, February 7th, 2025, Chainwire
Metis and Zoth are collaborating to integrate ZeUSD, a collateralized debt position (CDP) stable token, into the Metis ecosystem. This integration strengthens Metis’s position as a leading DeFi hub by enabling seamless access to real-world assets (RWAs) and reinforcing long-term infrastructure development, including the Metis RWA-backed sequencer.
ZeUSD is a permissionless, institutional-grade stable token that provides direct access to high-quality RWAs. It is backed by U.S. Treasuries, Money Market Funds (MMFs), ETFs, and Reverse Repos, offering enhanced stability and yield potential. Its composability allows users to integrate it into DeFi strategies, including leverage, liquidity provision, and yield stacking.
“Integrating ZeUSD into Metis aligns with our vision of embedding real-world assets into decentralized finance,” said Tom Ngo, Executive Lead of Metis. “By offering permissionless access to high-quality RWAs, we are setting a new standard for stability and transparency in DeFi.”
ZeUSD is already driving total value locked (TVL) growth on Metis, reinforcing the network’s expanding financial ecosystem. Users can mint ZeUSD seamlessly, access yield opportunities, and participate in liquidity pools. Additionally, the integration paves the way for secondary market adoption, broadening ZeUSD’s impact within DeFi. In addition, Zoth is running a pre-deposit campaign for whitelisted users that provides early access to ZeUSD issuance and stacked rewards.
“This collaboration highlights our commitment to building robust financial infrastructure, including our RWA-backed sequencer,” said Pritam Dutta, Co-Founder and CEO of Zoth.
“ZeUSD provides trust, stability, and seamless utility, allowing users to engage with RWAs like never before,” added Zoth Co-Founder and CTO Koushik Bhargav Muthe.
Zoth’s role as a restaking layer for RWAFi enhances its ability to bridge TradFi and DeFi, creating new opportunities for asset accessibility and on-chain utility. By combining RWAs with decentralized finance, Metis and Zoth are expanding the possibilities for institutional and retail participants alike.
