Deposits are now open for hBTC, the vault token for Hilbert Group's BTC Basis+ strategy.
Syntetika, a tokenization hub for regulated investment strategies, has opened deposits for its first strategy: BTC Basis+, managed by the publicly traded Hilbert Group (Nasdaq Stockholm: HILB B). The launch marks one of the earlier attempts to bring a professionally managed, fund-domiciled crypto yield strategy directly onchain through a tokenized vault structure.
The platform is designed to make investment strategies operating inside regulated funds accessible directly from a user's wallet. Each fund maintains independent custody, and at every processing cycle its net asset value (NAV) is attested by an independent third party. Vault tokens are issued and redeemed at that attested NAV. This architecture aims to bridge the gap between off-chain regulatory protections and onchain composability, an area that has drawn growing interest as institutional crypto adoption accelerates.
BTC Basis+ is a Bitcoin basis strategy that holds Bitcoin exposure and captures the funding spread between spot and futures markets, with returns denominated in Bitcoin. Basis trading—exploiting persistent premiums in futures markets relative to spot—has historically been a core yield-generating approach in both traditional and digital asset markets. Participants deposit cbBTC, Coinbase's wrapped Bitcoin token, through the Syntetika platform permissionlessly. Deposits are queued and subscribed into the fund at the next processing cycle, at which point hBTC is minted at the attested NAV. Redemptions follow the same cycle.
Syntetika launches with several partners: Tulipa Capital handles strategy curation, Ember Protocol provides vault infrastructure, and Yield Network serves as Liquidity Syndication Partner. The platform debuts on Base, Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 network, and reserves backing its tokens will be verifiable by anyone through Chainlink Proof of Reserve. The combination of third-party NAV attestation and onchain reserve verification reflects an emerging standard among tokenized real-world asset platforms seeking to establish transparency for depositors.
"Today Syntetika opens its doors with BTC Basis+," said Jorge Cuartero, CEO of Syntetika. "What we are really launching is the platform underneath it: infrastructure built to carry a growing set of regulated strategies onchain. This is day one of that roadmap."
BTC Basis+ is open for deposits now at syntetika.io.
