The ctASSET Revolution: Unlocking High-Velocity Capital

Beyond Static Deposits

In the traditional DeFi model, when you deposit assets into a vault, they often become "locked" or "stagnant." While they earn yield, their utility as active capital drops to zero. This creates a massive friction point for professional traders and institutions who need their capital to be modular and mobile. In 2026, the industry is moving toward a more fluid model: High-Velocity Capital.

What are ctASSETs?

ctASSETs are the core capital primitives of the Concrete ecosystem. When you interact with Concrete Vaults, your underlying positions are represented by these liquid tokens. But they are more than just "receipt tokens"—they are the engine of Capital Efficiency:

• Constant Productivity: Even while your capital is being managed by the Strategy Manager, your ctASSETs remain liquid.
• Seamless Integration: Designed to be used across the broader DeFi landscape as collateral or liquidity.
• Zero Idle Time: They ensure that there is no "gap" between deployment and liquidity.

The Managed Advantage

By utilizing ctASSETs within a Managed DeFi framework, Concrete solves the fragmentation problem. The Allocator ensures that the underlying value is always moving toward the best risk-adjusted yield, while the user holds a liquid representation that doesn't sacrifice market agility. This is the essence of onchain capital allocation: keeping every dollar active without compromising on safety or accessibility.

The Institutional Standard

For institutions, the ability to maintain liquidity while participating in sophisticated yield strategies is a game-changer. By automating the backend through Hook Managers and automated compounding, Concrete allows for a scalable deployment of capital that was previously impossible in fragmented, legacy systems.
The Bottom Line: Liquidity shouldn't be a trade-off for yield. With Concrete, you get both.
