Yuzu Money Joins Movement Network as a Day-1 Canopy Yield Provider

Yuzu Money, the institutional yield engine behind EtherFi liquidUSD (Earn product), is now integrated with Movement Network as a Day-1 Canopy curator. It brings tokenized T-bills, AAA-rated CLOs, overcollateralized lending yields directly to Movement users, subject to Yuzu's eligibility criteria, starting with its Yuzu Prime product tier.  

What Yuzu Money Does

Yuzu Money is a premier "Yield-as-a-Service" platform, connecting curated on-chain yield strategies to the global neobank and fintech ecosystem. Yuzu Money's core products are vaults that provide plug-and-play structured products that enhance institutional-grade RWAs with DeFi mechanisms such as leverage and tranching. The core product is already live and revenue-generating: it powers >8% of EtherFi’s liquidUSD (Earn vault product) and manages $51M TVL across its product tiers. 

The Movement Network integration launches with Yuzu Prime, the conservative tier of the Yuzu stack. Yuzu Prime targets approximately 7% APY through a portfolio of U.S. Treasury bills,AAA-rated CLOs (Collateralized Loan Obligations) and overcollateralized lending (Maple Finance). T-bills are short-term U.S. government debt (considered among the lowest-risk assets in traditional finance). CLOs are bundles of senior-ranked corporate loans. AAA is the highest credit rating a financial instrument can carry, assigned by agencies like Moody's and S&P to assets where the probability of default is exceptionally low; of which the AAA tranche has never experienced a default over the last 30 years since its first issuance. Overcollateralized lending through DeFi protocols such as Maple Finance, where only large-cap liquid cryptocurrencies are accepted as collateral with the entire loan book overcollateralized at an average of >155% ratio. Redemption is usually24 hours but up to 3 days under normal conditions, and the risk profile is designed to satisfy enterprise compliance requirements.

Onchain custody runs through SOC 2 Type II certified (Ernst & Young) and Munich Re insured wallet infrastructure provider, Fordefi MPC, real-time security monitoring through Hypernative, compliance through Chainalysis KYT, onchain verifiability using Accountable Data Verification Network (DVN). Yuzu Prime smart contracts have also been audited a total of 4 times with tier-1 auditors: Pashov and Dedaub.  

Where Yuzu Prime Fits in Canopy

Canopy is a yield-curation infrastructure layer deployed on the Movement Network. It connects eligible users directly to independent yield providers, the institutions and protocols that source and manage the underlying strategies. Users deposit USDC and receive yield-bearing receipt tokens in return. Curators, who actively manage capital across yield providers, represent a second tier coming in a later phase.

Yuzu Prime fills the low-to-medium risk slot in that lineup. USD-denominated, backed by real-world assets, with a compliance story that regulated partners can work with. Avant, the other Day-1 Canopy yield provider, covers a different part of the risk curve. Together they give Movement users two real choices.

USDC deposits are deployed on Movement Network, bridged to Ethereum mainnet where Yuzu Money manages the underlying tokenized T-bills, AAA-rated CLOs and overcollateralized lending positions, and the corresponding vault receipt token issued by Yuzu lives on Movement. Each partner gets its own isolated vault with no co-mingling across neobank or institutional integrations. Movement's neobank partners serving emerging markets need clean accounting separation, and Yuzu Prime's architecture was built for exactly that.  

Why This Matters for Movement Users

For users holding USDC on Movement Network, Yuzu Prime adds onboarded participants a yield option that is meaningfully different from leveraged or algorithmic strategies. A target return of 7% on T-bills, AAA CLOs and overcollateralized lending is a figure that enterprise treasury teams and compliance officers can defend internally. It is also the kind of yield profile that makes sense for users in Ethiopia and other emerging markets where safe USD yield is the primary value proposition, not speculative upside.  

What Comes Next

Yuzu Prime is live, generating yield, and built for the compliance-conscious users that the Movement Network is missioned to serve. More Canopy curators are coming. Yuzu Prime is the first.
