Hotlink Group Deploys Capital into DeFi via Synthetic Stablecoin USDe
-

Japanese publicly traded firm Hotlink Group has begun actively investing in decentralized finance (DeFi) using the synthetic stablecoin USDe. Its subsidiary, Nonagon Capital, executed the first tranche toward a $4 million target.
Unlike traditional fiat-backed stablecoins such as USDC or USDT, USDe uses a delta-neutral hedging strategy combining long crypto positions with derivatives shorts, allowing it to maintain a $1 peg while generating high yield from staking and funding rates. This reflects Hotlinkβs goal of maximizing returns in treasury management rather than just custody.
