The Opportunity
Most digital wallets hold significant stablecoin balances that sit idle:- User deposits awaiting transactions
- Float between deposit and withdrawal
- Treasury reserves and operational buffers
Business Models
- Spread Capture
- Loyalty Program
Model: Keep a portion of yield as revenue
- Deploy funds earning ~6-8% APY
- Pay users 4-5% APY
- Capture 2-3% spread as profit
- $10M in user deposits
- Earn 7% = $700k/year
- Pay users 5% = $500k/year
- Wallet profit: $200k/year
Implementation Pattern
Architecture for Wallets
Technical Integration
Omnibus Wallet Setup
Configure a master wallet for all user deposits and enable monitoring with a buffer for withdrawals.
Auto-Deploy Excess Funds
RebelFi automatically detects balance increases and creates supply operations for funds above buffer.
Handle Withdrawals
Maintain instant liquidity with buffer management. For large withdrawals, unwind allocations automatically.
User Experience Options
Option 1: Automatic Yield (Transparent)
All balances automatically earn yield:Option 2: Savings Account (Explicit)
Users opt into a “Savings” account for yield:Option 3: Tiered Yield (Gamified)
Different yield rates based on balance or commitment:Revenue Model Examples
Example 1: Spread Model
Example 2: Premium Subscription
Compliance Considerations
Custody Model
Custody Model
- User funds remain in your custody
- Existing KYC/AML processes apply
- No change to regulatory status
- Clear user disclosures about yield generation
User Disclosure
User Disclosure
Recommended disclosures:
- Funds are deployed to DeFi protocols
- Yield rates are variable, not guaranteed
- Withdrawals remain instant (via buffer)
- You maintain custody at all times
Financial Reporting
Financial Reporting
Track yield distribution:
- Daily yield accrual calculations
- User-level yield attribution
- Tax reporting (1099-MISC for US users)
- Audit trail via RebelFi’s ledger
Implementation Timeline
| Phase | Duration | Activities |
|---|---|---|
| Integration | Week 1-2 | Set up account, configure wallet, deploy agent, test |

Success Metrics
Track these KPIs:- TVL (Total Value Locked): Total user funds deployed
- Yield Generated: Total yield earned from protocols
- User Yield Distributed: Amount paid to users
- Revenue (Spread): Your profit from yield spread
- Buffer Efficiency: % of funds deployed vs idle
- Withdrawal Latency: Time from withdrawal request to settlement
