Unitas Labs said it has launched an Equity Basis Trade strategy that targets funding-rate yield via a hedged setup using tokenized U.S. stock spot positions and perpetual contracts, with an initial $3–5 million allocation for risk-control validation. The project said it has received support from BNB Chain, a recommendation from Tether’s USDT0, and an RWA compliance partnership with a Hong Kong-listed company. It currently reports $58 million in TVL, while its $UP token has posted fresh highs and rising trading volume amid broader market weakness. Unitas positions itself as building a BNB Chain-native yield-bearing asset layer spanning U.S. dollars, gold (XGLD/XAUT) and U.S. equities.
