🚨BEST BTC YIELDS/OPPORTUNITIES ISSUE #2🚨

As always, bookmark this so you don't lose itImage
1) @build_on_bob🤝@eulerfinance

TL;DR
⇒ 34-67% APR Organic (+Points)
⇒ >100% APR w/ Incentives

BOB is a BTC-centric EVM superchain. More importantly, they're running an incentives campaign.

You can find most of the incentives on @merkl_xyz.

Anywho, RIGHT NOW you can loop BTC derivates for over 100% APR.

BUT THERE ARE A FEW IMPORTANT POINTS TO MAKE:

1) Slippage matters. I do NOT recommend auto-leveraging through illiquid markets. You can get rekt.

2) Some of the incentives are in rEUL which has a vesting mechanism.

3) Unwinding can also wreck you if you do it automatically, I recommend manually doing it.

FINALLY, the LBTC markets, with over $12,000,000 BTC to borrow are 34% APR and 67% APR respectively.

PLUS POINTS. These are the best @Lombard_Finance opportunities out there, hands down.Image
2) @SolvProtocol solv.BTC.BNB

Solv has a new BTC derivative that allows you to participate in Binance Launchpad opportunities or staking yield with you BTC.

On top of that, you get points:
► @lista_dao
► @AstherusHub
► @kernel_dao
► @SolvProtocol (s2)

This allows for a 5-10% native yield on a BTC derivative, and a speculative play on the underlying protocol points.

I hope it also gets some composability!Image
3) @MorphoLabs🤝@Contango_xyz🤝@pendle_fi

With a whopping 8.5 BTC principle to deploy into this, pendle PTs strike again.

Expiry: May 29th
Max Yield: 23.1%
Leverage: 9.27x
Oracle: Pendle AMM

This is on @base and an incredibly attractive yield for the Base airdrop speculator who's also a BTC maximalist.Image
4) cbBTC on @KaminoFinance

Currently, Kamino has an 300K/mo incentives package specifically to borrow USDC against cbBTC.

That means the net cost to borrow stables against cbBTC is roughly 2%.

WHICH MEANS, if you can get a yield higher than 2%, you can get a positive yield on your cbBTC collateral.

EXAMPLE:
1) Collateralize $100,000 cbBTC
2) Borrow $50,000 USDC
3) Bridge to Base
4) Loop sUSDS / USDS on @growcompound for 27%

RESULT:
➢ 12.5% net LTV
➢ $51K BTC liquidation level
➢ Potential Base Airdrop participationImage
5) Liquidity Plays

This one is sneaky. It's the liquidBeraBTC BOYCO vault receipt token.

It's depegged by 1% because you can't redeem it until Boyco ends.

Here, you can see 70K 7-Day volume through 130-Day Liquidity.

That annualizes to 30% APR.

The caveat, of course, is that you'd have to either put buy-side liquidity in WBTC and wait for more sell pressure to enter, or buy some liquidBeraBTC from this 1% fee tier to enter, which may eat the later gains.

This is NOT for the greenhorn yield farmer.Image
Those are my top 5

BTC is notoriously difficult to find yields on. Nevertheless, I hope you found this useful.

If there are any obvious BTC yields that I missed, PLEASE LET ME KNOW in the comments below.

Ambassadorships Mentioned:
► Solv
► Compound
► Euler
► Kamino
► Contango
► Pendle

🚨BEST STABLECOIN YIELDS, ISSUE #2🚨

BOOKMARK THIS THREAD

I'll be doing just my Top 10, since believe it or not, stablecoin yields are boomin' and I can't write forever.
This week we've seen a continuation of what I formerly called catastrophic price action.

But, thank God, humans experience this little thing called "the hedonic treadmill" where we emotionally normalize to whatever highs or lows we're pushed to so that no matter where we end up, after the initial shock, we re-regulate.

Nevertheless, the yields👇Image
1) @protocol_fx Stability Pool (12%, but some alpha)

Last week, I accidentally left out fxUSD's stability pool, so in honor of that, I've decided to make them first.

Also, f(x) will soon™ launch fxSAVE which will be a liquid-wrapped version of the stability pool. That's a big deal.

Why? Because the fxUSD stability pool boasts roughly 12% in $wstETH yield. Imagine getting that as intrinsic yield on an interest-bearing stablecoin.

12% might not knock your socks off, but once we have composability, it'll be one of the best yields in town as far as collateral stable yields go.Image

Best $SOL Yields, Issue #1

Believe it or not, @solana is DeFi.Image
Like many KOLs, I spend most of my days in meetings, in the telegram trenches, on Discord, and in Twitter DMs scraping for alpha, getting updates, asking questions about protocols, and trying to get a sense of the direction of all this stuff.

And there's a growing sentiment that Solana will become a serious competitor for institutional capital in the not-too-distant future.

I'm hopeful. I also think it has a good shot at cornering a lot of the RWA market, to my own surprise.

ANYWHO, let's dive into the yields👇
Fixed Rate / Fixed Date (Plus Points)

@RateX_Dex allows you to get a fixed rate return on fragSOL at 17% APR WHILE ALSO getting Rate-X points.

This is a highly competitive fixed rate yield and it lasts for the next half year.Image

BEST BITCOIN YIELDS, ISSUE #1Image
Historically, $BTC has been hard to get yields on.

Restaking and Vaults, however, have unlocked BTCfi for us this cycle so now we can expect ~5% APR or more if we're clever.

And, imo, this is just the beginning.

Let's dive in👇
@SolvProtocol runs BTC-Neutral strategies for you.

The thesis is simple (and it's what we did last cycle to get yield on BTC), collateralize BTC, borrow something yieldy, and then get yield on that while you're long BTC.

Solv has a bunch of products, but most notably:

Solv.BTC.jup with 12% APR (though KYC required)
Solv.BTC.BNB with 5-10% APR plus various airdrops:

► Astherus Points
► Solv S2 Points
► Lista Tokens
► Kernal PointsImage

Time to formalize these threads to be referenceable as periodicals.

BEST STABELCOIN YIELDS, ISSUE #1

March 4th, 2025Image
The Good News: There are quite a few new contenders.

The Bad News: The markets are catastrophically bad.

The Neutral News: Vaults are the current thing and seemingly here-to-stay, with most of the yield-related conversations at Denver circling back to vault infrastructure.Image
BGT Emissions Remain Strong

The BEX pools (the only incentivized pools at the moment for BGT) are still getting competitive stablecoin yields.

@stride_zone (stBGT)
➢ USDC.e/HONEY: 13% APR
➢ BYUSD/HONEY: 20%

@InfraredFinance
➢ USDC.e/HONEY: 16% APR
➢ BYUSD/HONEY: 20%Image

HEAR ME OUT

@pendle_fi (we love Pendle) is valuing the airdrop yield of Sonic points at around 18.5% for wstkscUSD.

► 12x @SonicLabs points
► 3x @veda_labs
► 2x @Rings_Protocol points (more Sonic points)

That implies a near 300% APR for some stable loops.

Let's look👇Image
I mentioned @eulerfinance earlier.

They have scUSD collateral with all of the above points PLUS $rEUL, $wS, and Lending yield.

So...
► 2.33% Lending Yield
► 18% Implied Points Yield
► 5.91% rEUL Yield
► 3.37% wS Yield
➢ TOTAL: 29.61% before leverage

NOW, the points yield won't be realized until June and the rEUL has a vesting mechanism.

But let's look at a few variations of the math...Image
1) Everything Included

At max leverage, that's 274.29% APRImage

Does @solana seriously have real restaking APR before @ethereum?

@RenzoProtocol's $ezSOL is getting +3.65% in RESTAKING APR from @jito_sol TipRouter rewards.

This means the ezSOL<>jitoSOL loop on @KaminoFinance is getting over 55% APY.

Here's the math 🧵👇 Image
FIRST, Collateral Yields
► 8.53% Staking APR
► 3.5% TipRouter NCN APR
(NCN = Solana's version of AVS)
► 1.26% REZ Emissions APR on Kamino
TOTAL: 13.29%Image
NEXT, Borrow Cost
► JitoSOL Staking APR: 8.53%
► JitoSOL Borrow APR: 0.05%
TOTAL: 8.58%Image
