USYC is the onchain representation of Hashnote International Short Duration Yield Fund Ltd. (“SDYF”). SDYF invests primarily in reverse repurchase agreements (reverse repo) backed by U.S. government securities. USYC is issued by Circle International Bermuda Limited, regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA), and represents an interest in a Cayman Islands mutual fund licensed by the Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA).
