Delta maintains strategic exposure to U.S. short-term fixed income instruments as part of its broader liquidity and treasury management framework. The platform primarily allocates USD cash balances into high-quality, low-duration assets such as U.S. Treasury bills (T-Bills) and repurchase agreements (repos). These instruments are selected for their superior credit quality, low interest rate sensitivity, and strong liquidity profiles, aligning with Delta’s conservative mandate for capital preservation and risk-adjusted return optimization.
U.S. Treasury bills, backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government, represent the cornerstone of Delta’s short-term allocation strategy. Typically ranging in maturity from 1 to 6 months, T-Bills offer predictable yields and virtually no credit risk. In parallel, Delta engages in the repo market, participating in collateralized short-term lending transactions secured primarily by government securities. Repos provide flexible duration management and allow Delta to scale its exposure dynamically, supporting intraday liquidity and responsive balance sheet deployment.
As of the most recent quarter, yields on these instruments have ranged between 4.5% and 5.2%, reflecting current Federal Reserve policy rates and broader money market dynamics. These instruments generate a consistent and relatively low-volatility return profile, making them an attractive solution for temporary capital deployment. Delta captures these yields on idle USD platform capital and other unallocated balances as part of its short-term asset allocation strategy.
Crucially, Delta does not retain this yield as proprietary income. Instead, all yield generated from these short-term fixed income investments is redirected to Delta’s institutional users. This approach ensures that institutional participants — such as market makers, liquidity providers, and asset managers — receive the full economic benefit of their unused balances. This structure creates a transparent, user-aligned yield pass-through model, turning passive liquidity into a yield-bearing asset without additional operational burden or counterparty risk.
This yield-sharing framework is central to Delta’s institutional strategy. By monetizing platform liquidity and redistributing it to users, Delta delivers enhanced capital efficiency and creates a mutually beneficial financial ecosystem. Institutional clients benefit not only from Delta’s trading infrastructure and risk controls but also from passive income accrual through exposure to high-quality, short-term government instruments. This model strengthens Delta’s role as a trusted infrastructure provider that aligns its incentives directly with those of its core institutional user base.
