DeFi & Yields ·
ether.fi has expanded the capacity of its Liquid RWA vault by $10 million, bringing the total limit to $35 million. The vault channels stablecoin deposits toward institutional-grade fixed income and credit instruments rather than decentralized finance lending protocols. Plume Network powers the infrastructure, with allocations spanning the BlackRock iShares AAA CLO ETF, Fidelity Total Bond ETF (FBND), and the FalconX Global Credit Pool.
The expansion sits within a broader Liquid vaults ecosystem that holds over $340 million across multiple strategies. These strategies segment by asset type: USD-denominated positions combine real-world credit and bond exposure alongside DeFi-native stablecoin approaches, ETH positions offer restaking-based returns, and BTC positions generate denominated rewards. Depositors can move assets into these vaults to receive auto-compounding yields matched to their chosen strategy.
The capacity increase was announced on July 20, 2026. The move reflects a strategic pivot toward institutional asset classes within ether.fi's yield infrastructure, though the broader uptake and performance dynamics of the expanded vault remain to be observed.
