YieldClub Launches Crypto Savings App with High APY, Secures $2.5M in Funding

YieldClub has announced the launch of its mobile application designed to simplify the process of earning high yields on cryptocurrency savings, with the potential to earn up to 12% Annual Percentage Yield (APY) on stablecoins. This development comes as the company secures $2.5 million in pre-seed funding from a group of notable fintech and crypto investors, including Pharsalus, Flex Capital, The House Fund, and Superlayer, alongside strategic angel investments from tech leaders such as Kevin Chou and Sam Shank.

The app, created by CEO Mahesh Vellanki and CTO Michael Li, aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and the high-return potential of decentralized finance (DeFi). YieldClub’s platform offers an intuitive interface, easy onboarding through social login, and regionally optimized methods for converting cash to stablecoins, all while ensuring users retain full control over their funds through a non-custodial model.

With the current financial landscape pushing consumers towards alternatives to low-interest savings options, YieldClub’s timing is strategic. The platform utilizes audited DeFi protocols like Morpho to generate yield on stablecoins, providing users with exposure to higher returns without the volatility associated with other cryptocurrencies. This approach is particularly appealing in international markets experiencing rapid stablecoin adoption, such as Brazil.

The $2.5 million pre-seed funding will support the app’s public launch, expand its yield-generating options, enhance partnerships for cash-to-crypto conversion, and grow the team. Future plans include introducing a debit card for spending stablecoin balances while earning yield and exploring tokenized stock offerings for international users, all within the non-custodial framework.

YieldClub is now available for preorder on the Apple App Store, with a full public launch scheduled for June 23, 2025, on both Apple and Android devices. This initiative represents a significant step towards making DeFi’s benefits accessible to a broader audience, simplifying what has traditionally been a complex space for the average consumer.
