AND...AND...I think there's a chance we see leverageable PTs in the not-too-distant future. But who knows, a man can dream.
Alright, super hard to compete with 20% fixed.
But all things are possible with Christ.
2) @zerolendxyz 🤝 @Contango_xyz
IMO, this is an insane opportunity.
@Pendle has an @ether_fi BTC market with a March expiry that currently has a 7.75% fixed rate yield.
This is ALREADY better than any reliable BTC yields from last cycle.
But @zerolendxyz let's you leverage this...A LOT.
They have E-Mode now with a max LTV of 94.5%. That's insane.
On Contango, you can autoleverage this up 17.43x. Now do be mindful, you pay 5bps on your notional when entering and exiting.
That's 0.87% when entering and exiting at max leverage.
BUT, this has a cap, which means the borrow cost isn't likely to spike, but it also means first come first serve.
3) @ether_fi Liquid BTC Vault
APR: 15%+
Guys, I know I'm an ambassador for Ether.fi so it probably seems suss that all of the above opportunities are tangentially involving EtherFi, BUT they're genuinely one of the best places for BTC yields right now.
I chose to be an ambassador with them for a reason.
This is a brand-new vault. It's getting points galore, but it's also getting a >=15% APR.
► 2x Karak
► 4x EtherFi
► @LRTsquared
► Babylon
► 2x Lombard
► Symbiotic
► 3x Veda
If it misses the 15% mark (I don't think it will after learning what they're future strategy is) then there will likely be some padding with compounded ETHFI.
4) @SolvProtocol
Solv has various different BTC derivatives.
The @Coredao_Org BTC is getting 15% in staking incentives.
The @JupiterExchange BTC is getting 4.35% (currently) but has had yield in excess of 20% as recently as a few weeks ago.
The @ethena_labs BTC is getting 1.32% PLUS 10x ethena points
And all of these are also getting SOLV points.
YOU CAN ALSO, leverage Solv PTs on @avalonfinance_
Fluid recently introduced SMART COLLATERAL and SMART DEBT.
I've written about this before, but the TL;DR is that these are CLPs that can be used as collateral or debt and either way are paying you in swap fees.
There's a WBTC<>cbBTC : WB<>cbBTC loop that's currently generating 22.43% APR.
Let me break it down:
► WBTC<>cbBTC Collateral APR: 3.81%
► WBTC<>cbBTC Debt APR: 2.83%
► Collateral Factor: 95% LTV
► Max Leverage: 20x
Max Yield = (3.91%*20) - (2.83%*19)
= 22.43% APR
You can also leverage this automatically, which is a huge bonus.
Granted, there's limited room and a portion of the yield is paid in FLUID tokens, so do keep that in mind.
Also, always mind your oracles.
As far as easy-to-enter strategies, those are my top 6.
Absolutely stellar opportunities, IMO on BTC.
BUT, there are also some more big things for BTC:
► eBTC on @aave (VERY SOON)
► @IgnitionFBTC on @growcompound (points plus USDe hedging)
► @SonicLabs Vamp / Predeposit BTC Campaigns
► Lending BTC and BTC derivs on @eulerfinance
There's SO MUCH going on in BTCfi that it's hard to go over all of it.
The same three blue chip money markets are the best places for leveraging: 1) @growcompound 2) @aave 3) @MorphoLabs
APR ranges from 22% to 36% before considering LRTsquared, EtherFi S4, and Veda points.
The actual yield after points could be upwards of 50%.
Note: Even though Morpho is #1 now, the top three protocols tend to bounce around between 1st and 3rd, so hedging between them can often get you the most competitive and consistently high APR (this hedges against volatile borrow rates).
TL;DR
☙ 21.2% APR ❧
► Brought in >20M USDe
► 3.2M transferred to Reserve Fund
► 17.88M transferred to Staking Yield Distributor
► 85.44% APR leveraged on @MorphoLabs
► Use @Contango_xyz to auto-leverage
The Reserve Fund
This distribution period, 3,191,713 USDe was transferred into the Reserve Fund.
This is the first time in 133 days Ethena has transferred money into the reserve fund.
The reserve fund "acts as an additional margin of safety behind USDe to provide a source of capital to pay for periods of negative funding"
It's mostly comprised of $BUIDL and Uni V3 positions.
So here are a the most unique yield protocols that are undervalued and will be around for a while
