Ozean and Maple Partner to Expand Institutional Access to DeFi Yields – Adding SyrupUSDC to Port
Ozean has partnered with Maple to integrate SyrupUSDC into their blockchain ecosystem, specializing in real-world asset (RWA) yield. Through this partnership, institutions will gain enhanced yield opportunities, which will help decentralized finance (DeFi) adopt RWA services. SyrupUSDC stablecoins issued through Maple’s Syrup protocol will become accessible through Ozean’s Pre-Deposit Campaign and Port Exchange-Traded Product (ETP) system.

Following its establishment, Maple has executed $6.5 billion worth of institutional lending operations. The inclusion of SyrupUSDC helps Ozean enhance its position as a compliant Layer 2 blockchain operating on the OP Stack through Optimism’s Superchain. The program seeks to provide multi-layered safe returns on investments for institutional finance organizations seeking new yield sources.
Ozean Enhances Institutional Yield Generation
Ozean’s Pre-Deposit Campaign enables users to deposit SyrupUSDC for early access to yield-bearing structured RWAs. Port’s institutional on-chain vault infrastructure will use SyrupUSDC to enhance its institutional operations through improved liquidity, wider accessibility, and more diverse options. Integrating Maple’s lending system enhances Ozean’s capability to present stable yield opportunities with high-security standards and compliance features.
SyrupUSDC is a yield-bearing USDC deposit service that utilizes permissionless lending on Maple’s platform. Through this system, institutional capital obtains a safe framework to join DeFi networks, which preserves regulatory standards. The collaboration made it possible for institutional investors to enter RWAs by using a standardized on-chain process.
Maple Advances RWA Adoption in DeFi
The Ozean and Maple strategic collaboration focuses on solving two major DeFi problems involving restricted market RWA yield acquisition and compliance barriers. Ozean functions as an RWA-specific Layer 2 blockchain platform that offers simple regulatory-compliant methods for combining traditional finance and blockchain technology. SyrupUSDC enables the platform to enhance its yield-generating assets leading to increased institutional market participation.
The established lending platform from Maple positions Ozean to deliver institutional partnership solutions that connect DeFi to traditional financial services. Through this partnership, institutions and RWAs work together to build a compliant network that enables both entities to succeed within this integrated framework.
