Robin Markets winds down V1 yield product after matching and yield issues, plans relaunch this year

Robin Markets says V1 failed to gain traction due to two compounding problems. Its design required matching opposing YES and NO positions before capital could be merged into USDC, creating a first-mover disadvantage where early deposits sat idle and pools stayed thin. Separately, Polygon yield venues wound down or became uncompetitive after 10/10, eroding the Yearn-based yield stack. The points program, yield guarantee and matching bonus will all shut down. V1 stays online until a redesigned version launches before year-end, addressing matching economics and yield sourcing; withdrawals remain available.
