Stablecoin yield infrastructure Osero raises $13.5M led by Sky Ecosystem

Osero, a stablecoin yield infrastructure project incubated by Stablewatch and Soter Labs, has raised $13.5 million in a funding round led by the Sky Ecosystem and co-led by Plasma.

The round included angel investors representing USDT0, Maple, Accountable, Four Pillars, RedStone, The Rollup and Kairos Research, according to an announcement. Stablecoins have grown to more than $300 billion, according to DeFiLlama data. Most yield from the assets backing those stablecoins still goes to issuers like Circle and Tether, leaving holders with no direct return and fintech firms with limited ways to offer stablecoin savings products without managing assets themselves.

For cryptocurrency and digital asset traders, this development highlights the growing demand for yield-generating infrastructure within the stablecoin ecosystem. As stablecoin supply expands, projects like Osero aim to capture a portion of the yield that currently flows to issuers, potentially creating new opportunities for holders and fintech platforms.

Osero is launching three products, though details remain limited. The project's focus on redistributing yield could reshape the stablecoin landscape if adopted widely. Key metrics to watch include total value locked in Osero's protocols, partnership announcements with fintech firms, and regulatory developments around stablecoin yield products.
