Resolv - The True Delta Neutral Stablecoin: What You Need to Know
$RESOLV TGE, TVL Growth, & More
As we’ve discussed many times previously, stablecoins are one of the areas of crypto most poised for adoption. Last week was a big one for stablecoins, with Stripe launching their stablecoin platform, and U.S. Congress narrowly denying the GENIUS stablecoin act. As stablecoins go mainstream and receive more regulatory clarity, there are existing strong names in the stablecoin space to build on top of.
One of the stablecoins we’ve consistently covered is Resolv, which introduces its True Delta Neutral (TDN) stablecoin, $USR. $USR is backed by $ETH and aims to provide a market-neutral stablecoin option by tokenizing both onchain assets and fully hedged derivatives positions. Resolv Liquidity Provider ($RLP) serves as the tokenized risk exposure within the protocol.
In today’s edition, we’ll discuss Resolv’s progress since inception, the upcoming $RESOLV TGE & more…

Background on Resolv
It’s been a little over two years since Resolv first launched. Today, Resolv boasts $350M in TVL, after reaching a peak of nearly $700M in Q1. This is a 1500%+ increase in TVL since our initial Resolv coverage in early November, 2024.
Through $USR & $RLP, Resolv is able to separate risk and provide an attractive option for new capital looking to allocate to stablecoins and maximize capital efficiency. $stUSR allows users to stake their Resolv stablecoins to get a share of $ETH staking and funding fees from the derivatives component of the $USR backing. Resolv has been able to provide multiple options for optimizing yield according to specific risk tolerances, with $RLP significantly outperforming major stablecoins.
Last month, it was announced that Resolv Labs had raised a $10M seed round led by cyber Fund and Maven 11, with participation from Coinbase Ventures, Robot Ventures, Legion contributors, and others.
Last Friday, the $RESOLV claim period began, ending this week on May 16. This distribution rewards active users of Resolv and integrated partner protocols. At Genesis, ~15% of the supply will become available, with team and investors restricted to a 1-year cliff. Besides governance, $RESOLV can be staked to earn future emissions, as well as boosts for Resolv points accumulation.
The team is continuing protocol incentives post-TGE with Season 2 of the Resolv points program. This season allocates 5%+ of the total $RESOLV supply to season 2 participants; 4%+ for points holders, ~1% for $RESOLV stakers. $RESOLV stakers will have an advantage in controlling more of the supply with the points boosts mechanics.
TGE isn’t the only focus of the team. Features Resolv plans to release in the future include:
$ETH & $BTC-Neutral Collateral: Resolv collateral pool will employ risk managers to optimize yields using established DeFi protocols & prime lending markets while maintaining a hedged market-neutral exposure.
USD-Neutral Yield: Resolv will tap into both on and offchain sources of USD yield
Altcoin Yield Vaults: These vaults provide exposure to the yield from high rates on alts.
Maximizing Revenue Streams: Resolv can earn revenues from its external vaults, partner integrations, and swap fees.
