As a seasoned crypto investor with a deep understanding and appreciation for the unique qualities of Bitcoin, I’m excited about the latest development in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi) – OpenDelta’s innovative stablecoin solution built on top of the newest Bitcoin trend, Runes.


Open Delta, a company specializing in stablecoins tied to Bitcoin, successfully secured $2.15 million in funding during a pre-seed investment round, with 6th Man Ventures serving as the leading investor, according to CEO Konstantin Wünscher’s announcement to CoinDesk.

As a crypto investor, I would express that desire in this way: “I aim to employ Bitcoin as a means to establish stability in its value relative to fiat currencies.”

“Open Delta is set to establish a presence in the most recent emerging sector of decentralized finance (DeFi), which is currently centered around Bitcoin’s latest trend, known as Runes.”

On April 19, Bitcoin halving saw the emergence of Runes, a groundbreaking innovation by developer Casey Rodarmor. With Runes, individuals can inscribe fungible tokens onto satoshis, the tiniest bitcoin units. This novel DeFi (Decentralized Finance) application has since gained massive traction and significantly impacted Bitcoin transactions, as evidenced by Crypto Koryo’s Dune dashboard.

As a crypto investor, I’m excited about OpenDelta’s upcoming token, USDO. This flagship token is designed to maintain its value by hedging Bitcoin (BTC) deposits from users as collateral. However, it’s essential to note that USDO won’t be available for public use until May. Initially, only waitlisters will have access in a closed beta phase. The team behind OpenDelta has bigger plans, though, and aims to extend the Runes (the technology behind USDO) to other Bitcoin layers as well.

According to Wünscher, the product is expected to produce returns for its owners. It derives this profit from trading in derivatives markets and adjusting its dollar value accordingly. To obtain USDO, users need to deposit bitcoin as collateral into custodial wallets managed by top-tier institutions, as stated in the press release.

From a Bitcoin enthusiast’s perspective, I find myself drawn to OpenDelta – one of the pioneering companies shaping the next generation of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) specifically for Bitcoin in this Runes era. For those of us deeply immersed in the Bitcoin community, the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of Ethereum DeFi might not resonate as strongly.

“He pointed out that since people haven’t encountered anything like Bitcoin before, we have the opportunity to introduce novel experiences with it.”
