USCC manages more than $267 million in assets and gives qualified investors exposure to a crypto “cash-and-carry” strategy. The trade seeks to profit from the gap between spot crypto prices and futures contracts, which often trade at a premium during bullish market conditions. More than $100 million of the fund’s assets are actively used as collateral in decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols such as Aave and Kamino.
