Shyft has officially launched two new onchain yield management vaults, shCORE and shYIELD. The vaults aim to provide institutional investors with access to crypto, real estate, gold, and structured yield strategies.
Why it matters
Institutional investors are increasingly prioritizing verifiable yield sources and robust risk management over simple high APY chasing. Shyft addresses this by combining multiple yield sources into single portfolios using the ERC-4626 standard.
The total value of tokenized real-world assets has reached nearly $40 billion, marking 10x growth over the past two years, while the total stablecoin market has surpassed $300 billion.
The players
Shyft
Shyft is a financial platform that provides institutional-grade access to crypto, real estate, gold, and structured yield products.
GAP3 Partners

Blockchain Center Abu Dhabi

Ember Protocol
Ember Protocol is a decentralized infrastructure provider that supplies the backend framework for the Shyft vault systems.
The details
The new vaults utilize the ERC-4626 standard and integrate yield sources such as basis trading, private credit, and DeFi opportunities. Transparency for the portfolios is maintained through Accountable, RedStone, and Chainlink Proof of Reserve, with Ember Protocol providing the core infrastructure.
Timeline
The growth of tokenized real-world assets reached 10x over the past two years.
Market Dynamics
Shyft's adoption of the ERC-4626 standard follows a broader industry trend toward standardized, interoperable vault infrastructure for onchain asset management. This transition mirrors the move toward formalizing decentralized finance tools to meet institutional transparency and compliance requirements.
Institutional and sophisticated investors can now allocate capital into diversified portfolios that combine traditional assets like gold and real estate with DeFi yield strategies. The integration of proof-of-reserve technologies offers these users higher visibility into the underlying positions compared to traditional opaque yield funds.
The takeaway
As tokenized real-world assets cross the $40 billion threshold, the infrastructure supporting them is shifting toward verified, institutional-grade standards. Investors should monitor how these vault frameworks bridge the gap between volatile crypto markets and stable, real-world asset exposure.
What happens next
Shyft plans to release a future product that will integrate cross-chain staking with real-world asset exposure and single-asset yield.
