What if DeFi didn’t have to mean “high risk”? Low Volatility Assets (LVAs) are bridging stability and yield, turning DeFi into a $24T opportunity for investors seeking both safety and profit. blog.elasticmoney.xyz/harnes…

If your stablecoin needs permission, is it really stable? This piece explores why true stability isn’t about fiat pegs or compliance. It’s about censorship resistance, self-custody, and permissionless access. Read how $SPOT and @AmpleforthOrg are redefining the standard. blog.elasticmoney.xyz/your-s…

Imagine crypto treasuries could insulate themselves from flash crashes without crazy yield strategies or keeping most value in stablecoins @Ampleforth created a volatility-bounded, yield-bearing asset class via $SPOT to offer just that ⬇️ blog.elasticmoney.xyz/what-c…

There is more to money than counting beans. DATs know this, and can converge on AMPL as a strategy for post-sovereign financialization. One where native roles and incentives help separate risk from the old system while unlocking opportunity in the new. blog.elasticmoney.xyz/amplef…

Coinbase is backing Ampleforth’s SPOT on Base. coinbase ventures invested $1M back in 2024 to support the launch of SPOT, @AmpleforthOrg's decentralized, low-volatility money. now, with @base integration underway and coinbase’s support behind it, $SPOT is shaping up to be a serious alternative to fiat-backed stablecoins. this article breaks it all down: rotation vaults, real yield, and why ampleforth might be building the foundation for post-fiat money. read it before everyone else figures it out: blog.elasticmoney.xyz/amplef…

The next great investment frontier isn’t about chasing new assets - it’s about re-thinking risk. For decades, the 60/40 model provided a sense of order: equities for growth, bonds for stability. But that equation only works in a world of low inflation and predictable cycles. Today, neither assumption holds. Bonds no longer preserve purchasing power. Equities amplify volatility. Even “safe” cash quietly erodes value with every policy shift. Investors now face a paradox: the tools designed to protect capital have become the very sources of instability. The answer isn’t to escape volatility, it’s to restructure it. That’s precisely what @SPOTprotocol achieved and what LVAs aim to do (more on that in the next paragraph). Through a process known as volatility tranching, single assets like Bitcoin or gold are divided into two layers of exposure: 1⃣Senior tranches - capture the stability, acting as a low-volatility store of value. 2⃣Junior tranches - absorb the fluctuations, rewarding those who accept risk. Together, these form a new class of Low-Volatility Assets (LVAs) that maintain the durability and scarcity of hard assets while behaving with the predictability of stable money. For institutional investors, LVAs represent a blueprint for modern diversification - a way to preserve real value while maintaining autonomy and liquidity. Portfolios can hold Bitcoin-backed stability without inheriting Bitcoin’s volatility, and gold exposure without the drag of derivatives. This is not about speculation or chasing yield. It’s about building systems that make volatility useful instead of destructive - turning a source of uncertainty into a foundation for long-term balance. blog.elasticmoney.xyz/low-vo…
