Circle USYC
Tokenized shares of Hashnote International Short Duration Yield Fund, a Cayman fund that earns roughly the overnight Fed funds rate through reverse repo on US government securities and T-bills. Issued by Circle International Bermuda since Circle bought Hashnote in January 2025. About 98% of supply is on BNB Chain.
Legal Claim
If the issuer goes bankrupt, do holders still own the assets?
Not assessed yet. Bankruptcy remoteness, what the token legally is, and holder rights need a legal review.
No checks recorded.
Until a qualified legal reviewer joins, we show the public records below so you can read them yourself. This category will check:
- Structure: regulated fund, bankruptcy-remote SPV, or direct issuer liability
- What the token legally is: a fund share, a debt note, or a contractual claim
- Whether the token is the official record of ownership
- Jurisdiction, and whether a court there would recognize a token holder
- An independent trustee or board that can act for holders
- Regulatory status of the product and the issuer
Bankruptcy remoteness (Stage 1) and an independent trustee (Stage 2) depend on this review.
