So, you could deposit into the vault and let MEV go get the yield for you.
But you have some other options as well:
1) Buy YTs: right now you can buy YTs at an IY of 10%, meaning you're getting more yield than you're paying for AND you're getting all those points for free on top.
Risk: If the actual yield goes under the IY (10.66%) that you purchased at, you can experience a loss.
2) LP on Pendle for up to 24% APY plus points
3) Leverage on Morpho
(20% net APR plus 10x the points)
2) @0xCoinshift 🤝 @Contango_xyz
I just wrote a Coinshift PT leveraging thread:
TL;DR 41% APR
Read More:
But I failed to mention that if you don't want to spend all day leveraging, you can one-click in on Contango.
Contango shows an even higher yield PLUS Contango points, over $1M principal to deposit.
While sUSDe has a solid 6.8% weekly APR,
👏wstUSR has a 10% weekly APR👏
That's a 50% higher yield.
And if you're bold, you can leverage wstUSR, RLP, and PT versions of each on @eulerfinance for over 40% APR and millions in available liquidity.
5) @reservoir_xyz may be the hidden king of passive income.
For over half a year, srUSD has been printing a 15-25% APR either on @MorphoLabs, @Dolomite_io, or @eulerfinance.
Even @ipor_io, now that I think about it.
ON TOP OF THAT, the yield on srUSD has been wildly stable, ranging between 5.5% and 8.5% APY for months.
ON TOP OF THAT, you get points, with S1 about to close and S2 about to begin.
They've done this by making rUSD attractive to hold via POL incentives on Berachain and their points campaign. This has led to dramatically leveraged yields for the srUSD connoisseur.
For example, right now:
➢ Euler: 32% Organic + 4.25x Points
➢ Morpho: 25% Organic + 5x Points
➢ Ipor: 20% Organic + 10x Points
This is STILL one of my largest positions. Can't wait for the airdrop, but I've been appreciating the real yield along the way.
6) @LiquityProtocol is another sleeper.
Liquity gets 4% FDV of friendly forks as incentives / airdrops to the LPs and stability pools for BOLD.
There's something like 20 friendly forks so far.
That means on top of the very solid 5-15% stability pool APR, you also have 20 or so incoming airdrops.
I did some math...
My Assumptions:
➢ 1.5% of the 4% goes to the stability pool(s)
➢ Stability pools average 50M TVL until airdrops
➢ Friendly Forks average 10M FDV Tokens
➢ Airdrops happen in next two quarters
BUT, it gets better. @yearnfi and @k3_capital are launching yBOLD and sBOLD which will qualify you for the airdrop while also making the BOLD stability pool composable.
That means you can leverage the yield and the airdrops. AND anytime there are liquidations, yBOLD and sBOLD will autocompound the liquidated ETH back into more BOLD, boosting the APRs dramatically.
7) Honestly, @eulerfinance is a yield powerhouse.
Their partnerships have led to consistent high double-digit yields for months on end.
Right now, @Ripple (yes, that Ripple) is running a big campaign with $RLUSD, with something like $85K in incentives for the first week.
This means roughly a bajillion percent APY while people catch wise to the opportunity.
(sorry for diluting your bags, Anton)
8) @beraborrow 🤝 @reservoir_xyz
Reservoir and Beraborrow have been two of the primary reasons to bridge stables over to @berachain.
SO, to see them team up in a meaningful way is pretty sweet.
In short, you can LP rUSD<>USDT0 for 14% APR in iBGT through @InfraredFinance and then mint $NECT against that at a 7% interest rate.
You can loop this 20x, which is INSANE and not recommended (but possible).
The quick math on that is 147% APR.
BUT THERE ARE CAVEATS.
There's a 0.5% minting fee. So if you were to 20x leverage, you'd pay a 9.5% fee on your principal that you'd have to hope to recover through high yields.
9) @FalconStable!
Falcon's PT-sUSDf has one of the highest fixed rate returns, but ALSO has a fixed rate (11.12%) FOR 119 DAYS.
This allows you to lock in a highly competitive yield for a whole quarter rather than rely on shorter dated opportunities.
AND, you can leverage on lending platforms, but the borrow costs are currently not-so-great. But when they come down, I'll be sure to include those opportunities in a thread.
Also, if you're a Pendle LP maximalist, like many of my whale friends are (they like their yield with points) you can get up to 19% APY on Pendle as well.
10) The @ether_fi campaign is still printing
TL;DR: ~21% APR on collateral for EtherFi Cash and you can spend against it with no fee.
► 14% APY on liquidUSD (can be used as collateral)
► .15ETHFI / $1K Collateral / Day = +7% APR
Total Collateral APR: 21%
You can also get that 7% on eBTC, liquidETH, weETH, etc. So you can be a BTC maxi while spending against the value with your card.
Physical cards are also coming very very soon.
Also, you can use this as a checking / debit card or keep your collateral and spend against it like a credit card, where you just have to pay down your debt at some future date.
The interesting thing about these markets, is that they have more available liquidity than the "Total Supply."
Here's how that works:
Liquidity can be reallocated into the market "just-in-time" via the "public allocator contract" which allows liquidity from other markets to flow into these ad-hoc.
I.E., so long as the interest rate is compelling for @gauntlet_xyz vaults, liquidity from other markets will be re-directed from their other markets to these.
Borrowers can therefore access liquidity outside of what is immediately provited.
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
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.
