Issuance & Redemption
mBASIS issuance
Step 1: Transfer stablecoins to Midas
Once you completeβ―the onboarding process, you can purchase mBASIS by sending USDC to the Midas platform. This is performed by interacting with the mBASIS module on midas.app/mbasis.
Before being put to work in the strategy, the stablecoins transferred to Midas are safely stored in a leading custody solution (Fireblocks).
π‘ When you purchase mBASIS from Midas for the first time, a minimum investment of 120,000 USDC is required. There are no minimums for the following transactions.
Professional Investors under MIFID are exempt from any minimums.
Step 2: Receive your mBASIS tokens
Midas will acknowledge your deposit within five business days, typically after the next weekly mBASIS NAV (price) update.
When acknowledging your investment, Midas converts the proceeds into mBASIS, applying the latest mBASIS NAV price. The mBASIS tokens are automatically sent to your wallet.
Day | mBASIS NAV | Events |
3/1/2024 | 99.98 USDC | You send 1m USDC |
3/2/2024 | 100 USDC | Midas acknowledges your 1m USDC transfer, and you receive 10,000 mBASIS tokens (=1m/100) |
mBASIS redemption
Step 1: Transfer your mBASIS tokens to request a redemption
You can redeem your mBASIS tokens for USDC on the Midas platform.
This is performed by interacting with the mBASIS module on midas.app/mbasis.
Step 2: Redemption request acknowledgment
Midas acknowledges the redemption request within one business day and informs the asset manager to return your USDC.
USDC is generally returned within 30 days to safeguard principal value.
π‘ Even after requesting a redemption, you keep earning the mBASIS yield until you receive your USDC back.
Step 3: Receive your stablecoins
Midas calculates the amount of USDC to be returned based on the mBASIS NAV currently in effect when the asset manager releases the USDC. This USDC is then transferred to your wallet.
Example:
Day | mBASIS NAV | Events |
3/1/2024 | 99.98 USDC | You request a redemption of 10,000 mBASIS tokens. Midas acknowledges your redemption request and informs the asset manager about it. |
3/31/2024 | 100 USDC | The asset manager returns USDC to Midas. The NAV in effect is used to compute the USDC amount you will receive. |
You receive 1m USDC (=10,000 * 100)
Can I change my recipient wallet during the waiting period?
Yes, you can change your recipient wallet. Don't hesitate to get in touch with our team at team@midas.app.
Can I cancel my redemption request during the waiting period?
Redemption requests cannot be canceled at this time. That said, you can repurchase mBASIS after receiving your USDC.
