Key Takeaways

DPT users in over 150 countries can now earn stablecoin yield in the same app they spend from, powered by Gauntlet USD Alpha.

Beginning September 2, 2026, DPT users can earn stablecoin yield through DPT Earn, directly in the DPT app, powered by Gauntlet USD Alpha (gtUSDa), Gauntlet's flagship stablecoin strategy, deployed on Base.

DPT is a crypto payments app and Visa card available in over 150 countries, letting users spend crypto anywhere Visa is accepted, with custody provided by BitGo. Its users hold stablecoin balances to fund everyday spending, balances that until now earned nothing. DPT Earn turns those idle balances into productive capital without leaving the app.

Gauntlet USD Alpha, built on Aera's vault infrastructure, seeks the highest risk-adjusted yield on stablecoins, allocating to overcollateralized markets on top lending protocols. Gauntlet's optimization engine uses quantitative, model-driven frameworks with human oversight to allocate capital across onchain markets and adjust positions as conditions change.

From September 2, DPT users can:

  • Supply USDC or USDT to DPT Earn directly in the DPT app.
  • Earn auto-compounded yield, with rebalancing and reward redemption handled by the strategy.
  • Move funds back to their spending balance whenever needed.
