Resolv Labs Secures $10M Seed Round to Scale Delta-Neutral Stablecoin Strategy 

Resolv Labs, a UAE-based crypto startup focused on low-risk yield strategies, has raised $10 million in a seed funding round led by Cyber.Fund and Maven11. The round saw participation from a notable lineup of backers including Coinbase Ventures, SCB Limited, Arrington Capital, Animoca Ventures, Gumi Cryptos, NoLimit Holdings, and Robot Ventures.

Founded in 2023 by Ivan Kozlov, Fedor Chmile, and Tim Shekikhachev, Resolv Labs is the team behind Resolv, a yield-bearing stablecoin protocol built on a True-Delta Neutral Architecture that aims to offer stable returns with minimized exposure to crypto market volatility.

Funding to Support Institutional Integration and Strategic Expansion

The new capital injection will enable the company to expand its delta-neutral strategies, integrate more deeply with institutional digital asset managers, and diversify its yield sources—particularly through Bitcoin-based strategies. Resolv also plans to broaden its user base by launching on additional blockchain networks. “We’re building a stablecoin protocol that provides reliable returns without the speculative risk traditionally associated with crypto markets,” said CEO Ivan Kozlov. “This funding will help us deepen institutional partnerships and innovate further on our risk models.”

How Resolv Works: A Two-Tiered Yield Structure

At the heart of Resolv’s protocol is USR, a yield-generating stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. USR is designed to offer delta-neutral returns by leveraging hedged trading strategies that remove directional risk.

Resolv introduces a two-tiered investment model:

• USR Holders: Positioned as the low-risk tier, earning modest but stable yields.

• RLP Token Holders: Assume greater risk in exchange for higher, variable returns—essentially acting as an “insurance” layer to absorb volatility.

The model is inspired by structured finance mechanisms in traditional capital markets, aiming to balance stability with decentralization in the DeFi space.

Rapid Growth and Market Traction

Since launching in September 2024, Resolv has experienced fast adoption. According to DefiLlama, the protocol’s total value locked (TVL) surged to $600 million amid post-election market enthusiasm. As of April 2025, TVL has adjusted to $450 million, reflecting broader market conditions.

Despite the decline, Resolv Labs is positioning itself as a key player in the next generation of low-risk, institutional-grade DeFi protocols.“This is about reimagining stablecoins—not just as a medium of exchange, but as a vehicle for consistent, risk-adjusted returns,” said Kozlov.

As institutional interest in decentralized finance continues to grow, Resolv’s delta-neutral model could offer a compelling alternative for capital seeking yield without excessive volatility.
