Overview
Mountain Protocol issues USDM, a yield-bearing stablecoin that passes through interest from its US Treasury-backed reserves directly to token holders. Unlike traditional stablecoins where the issuer retains all yield, USDM distributes Treasury yield to holders through a daily rebase mechanism, making it function like a tokenised money market fund. Mountain Protocol is regulated in Bermuda under a digital asset business licence and maintains its reserves in short-term US Treasuries through institutional custodians. USDM is deployed across multiple chains and is designed for DeFi integration, serving as both a stable store of value and a passive yield instrument.

Why This Is NeoFi
Mountain Protocol is textbook NeoFi: USDM operates on-chain as an ERC-20 with automated yield distribution, provides real-world financial utility by passing through US Treasury yields to holders, and maintains institutional-grade regulated reserves with transparent custody.
The three pillars of NeoFi:
- On-Chain Execution: All operations and settlement occur transparently on blockchain, ensuring full auditability and programmability.
- Real-World Financial Utility: Products deliver genuine value in established financial markets — lending, trading, payments, custody, or asset management.
- Institutional-Grade Design: Infrastructure meets the standards of professional finance: robust risk management, compliance frameworks, scalability, and operational resilience.
