Olympus announces strategic deployment of sUSDS into a Morpho Labs curated vault, backed by Pendle Principal Tokens (PTs).​ Key features:

  • Conservative 75% Loan-to-Value ratio with 91.​5% liquidation threshold
  • Risk management collaboration with Gauntlet
  • Up to $30M phased deployment planned

The vault enables structured lending against PT collateral, generating returns that strengthen OHM's liquid backing.​ This represents a shift from passive yield to active capital strategy.​

Previous deployments include 50M DAI allocations to Pendle markets, with PT-sUSDe-26Dec2024 fully utilized and PT-sUSDe-27Mar2025 showing 22M DAI available liquidity.​
