Altura Launches Onchain Gold Arbitrage Strategy for Retail Investors
- Altura targets a 20% annualized return through its new onchain gold arbitrage strategy.
- The protocol has raised $4 million in funding and facilitated transactions of approximately 185 kilograms of gold.
- Gold trades are executed within one to two days, allowing for multiple capital recycling cycles.
- The strategy is designed to be “close to delta-neutral,” focusing on price discrepancies rather than directional bets.
- Altura’s setup involves offchain partners like Aurellion Labs and Inessa for trade execution and verification.
The launch of Altura’s product represents a shift in the DeFi landscape, as it combines institutional trading strategies with retail accessibility, amidst rising interest in real-world yields.
With an aim for significant returns, Altura’s approach could reshape how retail investors engage with gold markets, leveraging a cumulative transaction volume of about $28.5 million.
