About the vault

The vault takes stablecoin deposits and allocates them into institutional crypto basis and cash-and-carry strategies through the Bitwise Crypto Carry Fund, capturing non-directional returns from futures basis spreads across crypto assets. In return, depositors receive nBASIS, a vault token representing their share of the strategy.

Cash flows generated by the underlying basis trades are automatically reinvested into the vault, with returns reflected directly in the nBASIS token price rather than distributed — enabling passive exposure to market-neutral, yield-seeking crypto basis returns.

The strategy is designed to focus on spread capture (rather than price direction), combining institutional execution and transparent backing while remaining fully composable for use in on-chain strategies and looping protocols.

Notes

Yield source: The allocation is designed to capture futures basis spreads through institutional cash-and-carry strategies. By focusing on non-directional basis returns, the vault targets yield that is largely independent of crypto market price movements.

Risks: nBASIS targets non-directional yield, but outcomes depend on futures market structure and the persistence of basis spreads rather than asset price direction.
