DUSD, DETH, and DBIT Machine Update, Week 30-31

This report covers the performance and positioning over the past few weeks of DUSD, DETH, and DBIT. Inside, you will find a clear view of performance drivers, allocation shifts, and risk management decisions across each Machine.

The DUSD Machine generated a 14-day average yield of 8.18% on Meccanico’s deployed capital over the past two weeks. The uplift in returns was driven primarily by 3Jane Ecosystem Vault on Morpho, USDG on Aave with an additional contribution from the monthly NAV update of the Pareto FalconX position.

On the allocation side, the RLUSD Sentora vault was closed during the period, with the Machine rotating into two new positions: a PRIME/PYUSD loop and the Dialectic AUSD RWA vault on Morpho, which generates yield by lending AUSD against a curated set of tokenised credit and real-world-asset collateral focused on short-duration fixed-income assets.

In summary, the DUSD Machine continues to focus on high risk-adjusted RWA opportunities with tactical allocations to looping while maintaining high liquidity.

The DETH Machine generated an average 3.62% APR on Meccanico’s deployed capital over the reporting period, with performance improving through the fortnight. Week 30 came in at 2.99% APR and week 31 rose to 4.23% as the levered staking carry benefited from a firmer yield-to-borrow spread. The onchain price of the DETH moved from 1.016078 to 1.017489 ETH, and total value deployed ended the period at 2,592 ETH (around $4.8M).

Positioning remains anchored by the levered LST loop, which runs roughly 12,560 ETH of gross collateral against 11,320 ETH of WETH debt at about 10x, for a net exposure of 1,246 ETH or 48% of the Machine’s deployed capital. A further unlevered yield sleeve holds 19% (around 497 ETH), and 12% sits in the wstETH liquidity sleeve of 252.8 wstETH, which the DETH Machine maintains to meet redemptions and rebalance without touching core positions.

The most significant development of the period was the scaling of Meccanico’s allocation to the DQaeETH arbitrage machine, from roughly 248 ETH to 556 ETH, now around 21% of the Machine’s deployed capital. The strategy was still ramping up through the reporting period as Meccanico tuned execution and added more swap integrations to source the best price quotes across venues.

The results are starting to show, with the trailing 7-day yield now annualizing at close to 5% APR and continuing to climb as cycles compound. DQaeETH runs an ETH-native arbitrage on the ether.fi ecosystem, accumulating weETH when it trades at a discount to NAV in secondary markets and redeeming it at par through the withdrawal queue. Since the return comes from the discount captured rather than from staking rates, borrow costs, or ETH price direction, its P&L is structurally uncorrelated to the levered carry that drives the rest of the Machine’s positions, while remaining fully ETH-denominated at every step. It gives the DETH Machine a second, independent return source. When staking spreads compress and the loop’s carry softens, LRT discounts typically widen, improving arbitrage economics exactly when the Machine needs it most.

Net redemptions of roughly 73 ETH (2.75% of supply) were serviced entirely from the liquidity sleeve. With the week 31 run-rate back above 4%, the yield compression flagged in the weeks 26–27 update has partially reversed, and Dialectic Meccanico continues to deploy excess liquidity into low-risk, short-duration opportunities to minimize cash drag.

DBIT Machine generated a 2.67% APR on Dialectic Meccanico's deployed capital in the past 14 days; returns were driven primarily by the Across LP allocation. At the same time, the Machine's positions have since diversified toward a conservative carry strategy leveraging the Senotra PYUSD vault and the WBTC/USDC Morpho Market (both comprising 56.7% of the DBIT Machine's positions). The remaining portion of the Machine's positions are allocated to the Across LP.
