We’re excited to announce that DeFi Steward, a leading decentralized finance and digital asset platform for investment advisors, has introduced a first-of-its-kind solution for SEC-Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs). After successfully offering monthly streaming fee capabilities on non-custodial wallets, this latest integration with Superfluid represents the first and only compliant crypto assets under management (AUM) fee-streaming system for on-chain RIAs in the United States. This new model simplifies both the payment and billing experience.

Previously, investment advisors had to rely on quarterly or annual billing cycles, which could be cumbersome and inefficient. Thanks to Superfluid Subscriptions, advisors using DeFi Steward can now seamlessly receive client payments on crypto assets in real-time, offering unparalleled efficiency. This both streamlines the billing process and enhances the overall client experience.

“This integration will fundamentally change how advisors collect fees, providing a powerful win-win for both the advisor and the client.”

Their announcement comes after DeFi Steward was recently awarded a grant through a joint initiative between Superfluid and our partners at Push Protocol. This grant, which is part of the Builder Grant Program, supports developers in leveraging the capabilities of both Superfluid and Push Protocol.

“Grants are intrinsically linked to furthering communities and nurturing partnerships that encourage wider ecosystem growth. We were excited to see Push Protocol award this grant to a pioneer like DeFi Steward.”

We’re thrilled to support DeFi Steward as they continue to expand their platform and utilize Superfluid’s ongoing money streams. Their innovative approach to integrating real-time financial flows for RIAs and their clients showcases the many ways in which real-time money transfer has the power to transform how we invest.

Francesco Renzi, CEO and Co-Founder of Superfluid, echoed this sentiment, noting,

“Real-time finance is the future, and we’re proud to be part of a system that is enabling investment advisors to take advantage of DeFi’s efficiencies.”

As DeFi continues to reshape the financial landscape, innovations such as these are not only setting new industry standards but also paving the way for a more inclusive and efficient financial future.
