Tracking CEX and DeFi Together: Vault Street's Dashboard
Vault curators often keep part of the book on Binance, Bybit or OKX. Octav tracks CEX and DeFi in one net worth, as Vault Street's live dashboard shows.

Octav tracks DeFi and centralized exchanges in one live net worth: wallets and protocol positions on-chain, and Binance, Bybit, OKX and Kraken accounts next to them. That matters because few curators and vault managers run purely on-chain. Vault Street is a good example: on November 3, 2026, a quarter of its CARRY vault ($968K of $3.88M) sat on OKX, Bybit and Binance, beside its Aave and Morpho positions. Its investors see both sides at vaultstreet.octav.fi.
Why do vault curators keep assets on centralized exchanges?
Because some of what a vault needs is still done best on an exchange. The yield may be earned on-chain, but the hedge, the liquidity or the fiat rail often isn't:
| Reason | What sits on the exchange |
|---|---|
| Hedging | Perp shorts that neutralise the price risk of on-chain collateral |
| Carry and basis trades | The short leg that collects funding against a long held on-chain |
| Liquidity | Margin for large orders that would move an on-chain pool |
| Deposits and redemptions | Stablecoins waiting to go to or come from fiat |
| Markets not on-chain | Perps on assets with no deep on-chain market |
Vault Street describes CARRY as leveraged RWA exposure plus "delta-neutral strategies", and its dashboard shows exactly that split: RWA lending on Morpho and Aave, hedges on OKX and Bybit, and a smaller account on Binance.
What goes wrong if a dashboard only reads wallets?
It publishes half a strategy, and half a strategy misleads. CARRY's gold trade shows how:
| Leg | Venue | Gold |
|---|---|---|
| XAUT supplied as collateral | Aave V3 (Ethereum) | +425.47 oz |
| XAUT in the trading account | OKX | +22.49 oz |
| XAU perp short, 2.85× | OKX | −159.90 oz |
| XAU perp short | Bybit | −223.60 oz |
| XAUT perp short | Bybit | −64.80 oz |
| Net | −0.34 oz |
Long 447.96 ounces of tokenized gold, short 448.30 ounces of gold perps: the vault is flat gold, as a delta-neutral vault should be. Each view on its own gets it wrong:
- DeFi only: $1.76M of gold, unhedged, and a vault worth $2.91M instead of $3.88M.
- Exchanges only: $1.76M short gold, with $80.8K of open profit and no sign of the gold it offsets.
- Both together: a hedged book, and the right net worth.
The same applies to any curator running basis trades, funding-rate carry or hedged LP positions. A dashboard that reads only wallets shows a number that looks precise and is wrong — the failure mode described in Transparency Dashboards for DeFi Treasuries.
What does Octav cover across DeFi and exchanges?
Both sides of the book, decoded the same way, so they add up into one exposure figure:
| Side | Coverage |
|---|---|
| DeFi | Every EVM chain plus Solana and Tron: lending, LPs, staking, vaults, perps on Hyperliquid and Lighter, options on Derive |
| Centralized exchanges | Binance, Bybit, OKX and Kraken: balances, margin and unified accounts, and open perp positions with entry, mark and P&L |
On exchanges that means more than a balance. CARRY's OKX row shows the trading account, the margin position's size, entry and mark price, and open P&L, in the same table format as its Aave loan. How decoding changes the net worth a dashboard reports is in Why Portfolio APIs Disagree About Net Worth.
Can you get the same dashboard for your vault or fund?
Yes. Vault Street's dashboard is a white-label build on Octav's data and application; the same pieces are available on their own:
| You need | Use |
|---|---|
| A public page proving holdings | Transparency Dashboards — see the guide |
| Holdings inside your own site | The embeddable portfolio widget |
| Your own build, on raw data | The Octav API, as in Build a Crypto Portfolio Dashboard |
| Internal CEX + DeFi view for your team | Octav Pro — see the dashboard tour |
How funds use one view across exchanges and chains day to day is in Crypto Portfolio Management for Funds.
