Everlong, the synthetic liquidity and yield engine for BTC and ETH, has announced a strategic investment round led exclusively by leading crypto investment firm, GSR

Everlong enables users to earn sustainable, organic yield on BTC and ETH without giving up their long exposure. The protocol will launch natively on Katana, an Ethereum Layer 2 built for superior execution, and routes chain-level revenues back to its users in the form of higher yields and deeper liquidity for the long term health and growth of its ecosystem.

By using Everlong, depositors can increase the working capital of their assets inside AMMs, capturing swap fees while retaining full price exposure and mitigating the major drawbacks of impermanent loss. It has already demonstrated consistent outperformance versus holding BTC/ETH, including positive returns during high-volatility events.

Through using novel CDP-based architecture, Everlong creates and deploys synthetic liquidity without borrow-rate drag, enabling:

  • Full BTC/ETH exposure
  • No liquidation risk
  • No recurring interest costs
  • High capital efficiency through internally generated liquidity
  • Scaleable, fee-based yield

GSR’s investment brings deep technical, trading, and market structure expertise to Everlong as the protocol prepares for its next stage of growth.

Alain Kunz, Head of Business Development, EMEA, at GSR, commented:

“Everlong is pioneering a new category in DeFi: synthetic liquidity as a yield source. The team has engineered a system that preserves long exposure while turning volatility into sustainable returns. We believe Everlong is positioned to become a core primitive for BTC and ETH liquidity across the industry.”

GSR will serve as a long-term strategic partner to Everlong, supporting its future token, ecosystem growth, and liquidity strategy. The partnership will also focus on risk modelling, infrastructure insights, and institutional integrations across Katana and beyond. 

Alex, DeFi Systems Lead at Katana, said:

“Everlong is exactly the type of high-performance DeFi primitive the Katana ecosystem was built for. Their synthetic liquidity engine is an ideal match for katana’s flywheel, and we’re thrilled to support their launch.”

Everlong addresses two long-standing problems in DeFi. First, providing liquidity on DEXs has never been sustainably profitable due to impermanent loss and LVR. Second, CDP-based stablecoins have historically been constrained by limited and inefficient liquidity sourcing.

Everlong’s synthetic liquidity engine solves both by allowing BTC and ETH deposits to generate recurring AMM fee yield, while simultaneously strengthening the underlying CDP protocols liquidity.

The result is a scalable, self-reinforcing model that can power on-chain leverage venues, synthetic stablecoins, cross-asset liquidity rails and integrated DEX + lending + synthetic stacks.
