Altura: A Multi-Strategy Yield From Gold Trading, Funding Rates, and Private Credit | DeFi Frontier

Matthew Pinnock is the COO of Altura.In this new episode of DeFi Frontier, we walk through Altura's multi-strategy vault and how it generates yield from three sources: a physical gold arbitrage trade, delta-neutral crypto strategies including market-making and funding rate arbitrage, and private credit yield through Fasanara's Midas mF-ONE. Matthew explains how every leg of this real world gold trade is insured. He also breaks down their Yield Run program and the related Pendle market for AVLT including the PT fixed yield and YT points leverage.------💎 THIS EPISODE'S SPONSORS🔒 KPK | Best risk-adjusted yield through automated vaults🕛 NOON | The highest and safest stablecoin yield, built for the long term🟠 APYX | The first dividend-backed stablecoin (DBS)👻 MANTLE | Aave V3 is live on Mantle🐡 PUFFER INSTITUTIONAL | ETH staking solutions for scale⚔️ KATANA | Deep liquidity & real yield------⏱️ TIMESTAMPS0:00 - Intro1:44 - Team background2:53 - What is Altura?
