Digital wallets holding stablecoin balances can use RebelFi to automatically generate yield on idle funds while maintaining full custody and instant liquidity for user withdrawals.

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
With RebelFi, these idle balances can earn yield while remaining instantly available for withdrawals.

Business Models

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
Example Economics:
  • $10M in user deposits
  • Earn 7% = $700k/year
  • Pay users 5% = $500k/year
  • Wallet profit: $200k/year

Technical Integration

1

Omnibus Wallet Setup

Configure a master wallet for all user deposits and enable monitoring with a buffer for withdrawals.
2

Auto-Deploy Excess Funds

RebelFi automatically detects balance increases and creates supply operations for funds above buffer.
3

Handle Withdrawals

Maintain instant liquidity with buffer management. For large withdrawals, unwind allocations automatically.
4

Distribute Yield

Credit users with their portion of yield daily or weekly, proportional to their balance.

User Experience Options

Option 1: Automatic Yield (Transparent)

All balances automatically earn yield:
Balance: 1,043.27 USDC
Yield Earned: +43.27 USDC (4.5% APY)
Last Updated: 2 minutes ago
Pros: Simplest UX, no user action required Cons: Can’t offer tiered yield based on commitment

Option 2: Savings Account (Explicit)

Users opt into a “Savings” account for yield:
Checking: 500.00 USDC (0% yield)
Savings: 2,500.00 USDC (5.2% APY, +108.00 earned)
Pros: Clear value proposition, upsell opportunity Cons: Requires user action, split liquidity

Option 3: Tiered Yield (Gamified)

Different yield rates based on balance or commitment:
Balance: 10,000 USDC
Tier: Gold (6.0% APY)
Next Tier: Platinum at 25,000 USDC (7.0% APY)
Pros: Incentivizes larger deposits, engagement Cons: More complex to manage

Revenue Model Examples

Example 1: Spread Model

Wallet TVL: $50M in stablecoins
Gross Yield: 7% = $3.5M/year
User Payout: 5% = $2.5M/year
───────────────────────────────
Wallet Revenue: $1M/year profit

Example 2: Premium Subscription

Free Users: 100k users, $10M TVL, 3% yield to users
Premium Users: 10k users, $15M TVL, 5% yield to users
Premium Fee: $9.99/month

Subscription Revenue: $1.2M/year
Yield Revenue (spread): $500k/year
───────────────────────────────
Total Revenue: $1.7M/year

Compliance Considerations

  • User funds remain in your custody
  • Existing KYC/AML processes apply
  • No change to regulatory status
  • Clear user disclosures about yield generation
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
Track yield distribution:
  • Daily yield accrual calculations
  • User-level yield attribution
  • Tax reporting (1099-MISC for US users)
  • Audit trail via RebelFi’s ledger

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
