A few incredible new stablecoin strategies came online recently, so...
Mini-thread🧵👇
1) @Dolomite_io HAS E-MODE
This is a bigger deal than you can probably imagine, given that they also have $400M of sticky BOYCO liquidity.
There are a few opportunities here worth noting.
A. @reservoir_xyz srUSD/HONEY
7% Collateral Yield
2.55% Borrow Cost
10x Leverage = 47% + Points on Notional
B. @ethena_labs sUSDe/USDC
6.22% Collateral Yield
2.55% Borrow Cost
10x Leverage = 40% + Sats on Notional
Reservoir uses NAV oracles AFAIK
I'm personally farming this.
2) @syrupfi on @Contango_xyz
I mentioned this yesterday, but here's my whole thesis.
► SyrupUSDC has a ~7% organic APR
► I can lock for 6mo for max $SYRUP emissions (+5%)
► I don't mind doing this because there's an LP to exit through if need be
► Gauntlet is curating on Morpho, so there should be consistent liquidity
So what do we get?
30% APR plus 5% in $Syrup times leverage.
That's 50% additional APR or 80% total.
You bet your butt I'm in this as well.
3) Millions to Borrow on @eulerfinance
@berachain has a remarkable number of yields right now.
@beraborrow's $NECT is currently emitting cPOLLEN, which will entitle you 1:1 for fully liquid POLLEN at TGE from @ramen_finance.
I'm not sure how they're valuing the emissions though, so do be careful there.
As a reminder, SwapX incentives ARE FULLY LIQUID WITH NO VESTING SHENANIGANS.
I appreciate this immensely. They've also tokenized gems, which I also appreciate immensely.
bUSDC.e-20 is @SiloFinance's receipt token for a lend side USDC deposit.
There's 6MILLION in liquidity there at 33% APR.
I wonder if @beefyfinance has this yet?
5) Oh snap, @beefyfinance does have that.
And more.
I've been banging my shield a bit about Beefy aggregating some of the best stablecoin LPs lately.
Still true.
As a reminder, the best thing is that you don't deal with any gov tokens or emissions. You just get the yield compounded for you and then can withdraw it however / whenever you want.
⇒ 45% on USDC/HONEY
⇒ 35% on bUSDC.e-20/wstkscUSD
(say that five times fast)
Oh, and points
6) These scare me, but I'll show them to you.
@Paladin_vote has bribe markets for veUSD.
veUSD is vote-escrowed scUSD.
veUSD can get you bribes from people who want the yield of the underlying veda vaults that scUSD is backed by.
Right now, there's 240K space for the last remaining market.
If it fills, the APR will be 47% at current bribe value.
BUT, "ve" does imply locked. And although THEORETICALLY veUSDs can be sold on @paint_swap, I haven't seen any yet.
7) @ethena_labs is having a good week.
I just did some math.
Latest Reward: 181,632 USDe
TVL: 2.4B USDe
That's 8.6% APY this week.
That makes almost every sUSDe loop on @Contango_xyz look great.
You love to see it.
8) @0xfluid's also got some spicy sUSDe yields
It's all in the title, but I particularly like borrowing smart collateral when there's space.
But I would settle for 39% APR while shorting GHO.
Of course there are many more stablecoin yields, but these are the new ones I've found interesting.
To compensate for diluting my bags, please leave a like or give a share 🙏
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👇
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.
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.
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:
Time to formalize these threads to be referenceable as periodicals.
BEST STABELCOIN YIELDS, ISSUE #1
March 4th, 2025
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.
BGT Emissions Remain Strong
The BEX pools (the only incentivized pools at the moment for BGT) are still getting competitive stablecoin yields.
