Unlock high-yield returns with WOO X RWA earn: BlackRock iShares High Yield Corporate Bond ETF Yield powered by OpenTrade

In today’s dynamic crypto landscape, reliable yield opportunities are more critical than ever. That’s why WOO X is proud to introduce the RWA High Yield Corporate Bond Vault powered by OpenTrade, an institutional-grade platform for real-world asset-backed USDC, USDT & EURC yield products.

Benefits of High Yield Corporate Bonds

  • Stable & defensive yield: Returns are linked to the BlackRock iShares 0-5 Year High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (SHYG), providing exposure to a diversified portfolio of short-term, high yield corporate bonds. This real-world asset backing means lower volatility and more predictable income compared to typical crypto lending.

  • No deposit limits: Unlike many exchanges with capped stablecoin deposits, this RWA product allows you to invest unlimited amounts meaning you can maximize your earning potential without restrictions.
  • Instant liquidity: Thanks to WOO X’s infrastructure, users can withdraw instantly whenever you want, thanks to a robust buffer mechanism that ensures flexibility without locking your crypto.
  • Auto compounding: The vault pays the daily yield in USDC and automatically compounds interest.
  • Global access: No country-based restrictions, so anyone who passes KYC on WOO X can immediately subscribe and start earning.

How does it work?

OpenTrade’s High Yield Corporate Bond Vault generates yield based on the performance of the SHYG ETF which is a BlackRock-managed fund tracking short-term high yield bonds with maturities under five years. 

Returns (and losses) are pegged to the performance of the underlying vault collateral via a collateral rate, which is updated daily based on the previous day’s ETF closing price, and reflected automatically on-chain as an exchange rate between USDC and your vault tokens (XHYC).

The vault also displays an indicative interest rate, which is the average yield to maturity for the ETF's underlying bond holdings. The indicative interest rate is used to provide lenders an idea of the types of returns the vault could experience if all its collateral was held to maturity.

Returns are subject to market risks and may decline during adverse conditions. Capital loss may occur.
