DeFi will be a rollercoaster by the end of 2025. Market swings will be bigger than before and many people are tired of feeling powerless when the volatility strikes. To this, Falcon Finance takes a different view — it is an adaptive engine to transform locked-up capital into dependable, and liquid capital through USDf. Falcon Finance believes you should not have to give up your assets just to make it through a volatile market.
Falcon's universal collateral system has developed quickly and now accepts more types of collateral than previously; Bitcoin, Ethereum, stable coins, and even tokenized real world assets such as U.S. Treasuries or commodities. You deposit your crypto or real-world tokens and then you can mint USDf (a synthetic dollar) which remains pegged to the dollar due to the fact that USDf is over-collateralized. In most cases you would need to post at least 110% of the amount of USDf you wish to mint. For instance, if you deposited $220 worth of ETH, you could mint $200 in USDf. The additional cushion created by posting 110% of the amount of USDf you want to mint is designed to maintain stability if prices decline.
Over-collateralization is the basis of the reliability of USDf. The price feed of the value of your collateral is updated continuously by oracles. As soon as the value of your collateral declines and your ratio falls below a certain threshold — say 105% — automatic liquidation kicks in. The system puts your collateral up for auction to satisfy repayment of the USDf and charges a fee to the person who acts as the liquidator. It has proven itself to be effective, particularly during the significant price swings we've seen in 2025. The peg continues to hold and users continue to participate in any appreciation of their assets.
The yield strategies of Falcon Finance have also evolved. The major updates that were released in September allowed users to stake USDf to receive sUSDf, which now has access to several other forms of income including; perpetual funding, enhanced staking on collateral, and income generated from real world assets. For example, the new Treasury Yield Vault provides approximately 7% returns on tokenized bonds and will fluctuate based on changes in interest rates. On average, yields for users exceeded 10% in 2025 -- enough for users to build real, long term investments across the Binance ecosystem.
Additionally, the protocol keeps everyone's interests aligned. Tiered rewards are provided to the liquidity providers who provide USDf to on chain venues, thus creating a deeper market and providing smoother trading experiences for users. sUSDf stakers help maintain the stability of the system and share in the profits of the system, creating a positive feedback loop.
Traders utilize these tools in a variety of ways to strengthen their strategies including; hedging against market volatility and/or seeking out the highest yielding opportunities within the Binance ecosystem.
Falcon continues to evolve and improve. The dynamic collateral ratios, which were included in the December 2025 update, automatically adjust based upon the level of volatility associated with each asset and therefore reduce the number of times users are subject to liquidation. Currently, nearly $2 billion in USDf exists, which means on-chain liquidity has increased significantly and builders have access to an expanded array of tools to facilitate large-scale development.
As one would expect, risks have not been eliminated. The volatility experienced in Q4 demonstrated that extremely volatile conditions can still lead to liquidations and losses to collateral if users do not monitor their accounts closely. There are risks associated with smart contracts regardless of how many audits have occurred, and Falcon Finance has attempted to address this issue by establishing upgrade paths and transparency dashboards. Yields may decrease if market conditions soften. Users mitigate this risk by diversifying their collateral, maintaining higher collateral ratios, and utilizing protocol notifications.
At a time when DeFi is beginning to mature, Falcon Finance is positioned at the epicenter of the DeFi ecosystem, enabling users, builders, and traders to convert chaos into opportunity. Falcon Finance empowers lending, governance products and enables assets to generate income while minimizing the risk.
