Conduit partners with regulated cryptocurrency lenders and uses decentralized finance protocols. With lending, funds are placed on platforms that generate yield from institutional borrowers. Some of the interest paid by borrowers is then shared with those who supply capital (also referred to as liquidity), paid out in stablecoins like USDC. With DeFi protocols, instead of a centralized platform, funders put value in an automated liquidity pool that collects fees for transactions and rewards the liquidity providers. 

Even though treasury securities are not covered by federal deposit insurance, payments of interest and principal (including redemption proceeds) on those securities
that are deposited to an investor's deposit account at an insured depository institution ARE covered by FDIC insurance up to the $250,000 limit. And even though there is no federal insurance on Treasury securities, they are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States government - the strongest guarantee you can get.
