# 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. - **URL:** https://octav.fi/blog/vaultstreet-cex-defi-dashboard - **Published:** 2026-11-03 - **Author:** Octav Team — Portfolio Intelligence for Digital Assets - **Topic:** Portfolio Management - **Tags:** transparency, dashboard, defi, portfolio-tracking - **Source:** Octav, Practical guides on crypto NAV reporting, multi-chain portfolio management and digital asset APIs, from the team behind Octav. --- 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](https://www.vaultstreet.com/) 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](https://vaultstreet.octav.fi/app/CARRY). ![Vault Street's CARRY vault on its Octav dashboard: $3,882,120.89 net worth across 8 chains and exchanges, with Morpho, Aave V3, OKX, Bybit, Vault Street and Binance positions side by side](./images/vaultstreet-carry-overview.jpg) ## 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. ![The Vault Street dashboard home: the primeUSD and CARRY vaults, each with live TVL and the networks and exchanges it uses](./images/vaultstreet-vaults-home.jpg) ## 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** | ![CARRY's Aave V3 position: 425.472 XAUT supplied, worth $1.67M, against USDC and USDT borrowed, health rate 1.13](./images/vaultstreet-aave-xaut.jpg) ![CARRY's OKX account in the dashboard: USDC, XAUT and USDT in the trading account, and a 2.85× short of 159.904 XAU with $628,759 position value and $11,627 open P&L](./images/vaultstreet-okx-account.jpg) ![CARRY's Bybit unified account: 311,752 USDT, short 223.596 XAU and 64.80 XAUT with $54,753 and $14,423 open P&L, and a small NVDA long](./images/vaultstreet-bybit-account.jpg) 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](/defi-treasury-transparency-dashboards). ## 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](/hyperliquid-perps-portfolio-tracking) and Lighter, [options on Derive](/derive-options-portfolio-tracking) | | 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](/why-portfolio-apis-disagree). ## 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](https://transparency.octav.fi) — see [the guide](/defi-treasury-transparency-dashboards) | | Holdings inside your own site | The [embeddable portfolio widget](/embed-crypto-portfolio-widget) | | Your own build, on raw data | The [Octav API](/crypto-portfolio-api-guide), as in [Build a Crypto Portfolio Dashboard](/build-crypto-portfolio-dashboard) | | Internal CEX + DeFi view for your team | [Octav Pro](https://pro.octav.fi) — see [the dashboard tour](/octav-pro-dashboard-tour) | How funds use one view across exchanges and chains day to day is in [Crypto Portfolio Management for Funds](/crypto-portfolio-management-funds).
