Curation+

Curation+

Bespoke vault design and treasury management for institutional clients.

OpenTrade's standard vault infrastructure covers most yield use cases. Curation+ is for clients whose requirements go beyond pre-configured products — specific yield targets, defined risk parameters, complex collateral mandates, or blended real-world asset and on-chain strategies.

ABOUT

The Service

The Service

Curation+ combines institutional-grade portfolio design with active treasury management. OpenTrade and its partners work directly with each client to scope, construct, and maintain a vault strategy aligned to their specific yield, liquidity, duration, and risk requirements. 


The service covers the full scope of vault design and management including strategy scoping, collateral selection, investment committee review, active collateral management, and ongoing reporting.

 

Every asset integrated into a Curation+ vault undergoes a formal investment committee review conducted in partnership with Five Sigma Finance, an FCA-regulated asset manager. Once live, the vault is actively managed in accordance with the agreed parameters by OpenTrade’s asset management partners.

Frequently Asked Questions
No headings found yet.



How does Curation+ differ from OpenTrade's standard vaults?


Standard vaults are pre-configured products with fixed parameters. Curation+ is a managed service: OpenTrade and its partners design, build, and manage a vault strategy tailored to each client's specific yield targets, risk appetite, and liquidity profile.

Who manages the portfolio?


OpenTrade, in partnership with Five Sigma Finance, an FCA-regulated asset manager. All assets are subject to a formal investment committee review before inclusion, and the portfolio is actively monitored and rebalanced on an ongoing basis.

Can clients offer a fixed rate to their end users?


Yes. The Prime+ Vault structure launched through the Curation+ service is specifically designed for this use case. The vault pays a fixed monthly interest rate, ensuring clients receive a stable, predictable rate each month.

How is collateral verified and reported?


Collateral is published on the OpenTrade Platform and verified weekly by Five Sigma Finance. Clients receive weekly attestations and have continuous visibility into their holdings.

What is the minimum deposit?


$1,000 USDC. In practice, Curation+ is most relevant for platforms managing material balances where a tailored strategy meaningfully improves yield outcomes relative to standard options.

How long does onboarding take?


KYC and onboarding can take as little as 1-3 days, after which clients can get immediate access to existing Curation+ vaults. Timelines for new vault deployments vary based on strategy complexity and integration scope, but generally take around 2-4 weeks, including testing. OpenTrade works alongside each client through legal and technical onboarding to compress the time to launch.
