Osero Foundry will provide up to $2.5 billion in allocation capacity for anchor funding, swap liquidity and lending liquidity. Each deployment will go through a Basel III-inspired risk review, Osero said.

The $13.5 million raise will fund capital requirements for Osero’s first Foundry allocations. The capital will be used to underwrite the first cohort of deployments under the risk framework used for the Sky Protocol’s assessment process.

Sky, formerly MakerDAO, has been expanding the balance sheet and distribution network around USDS and sUSDS. Sky received a B- rating from S&P last year, in the first credit rating assigned by the agency to a DeFi protocol.

Sky-backed projects have also pushed into yield-bearing real-world asset products. Obex said in March it was spreading $1 billion across credit, energy and AI assets to expand stablecoin yield.

Plasma, which co-led the round, is building a stablecoin-focused blockchain. Its token sale drew $373 million last year in an oversubscribed sale.
