It's stablecoin season

But who’s just sitting on idle USDT/USDC? CT's chasing low-risk yields with yield-bearing stablecoins

That said, always ask yourself: where’s the yield coming from?

Here's your ultimate yield-bearing stablecoin landscape 🧠🧵 Image
In this thread, we’ll cover some of the most adopted yield-bearing stablecoins, with a quick intro and their total supply

Bookmark or RT to share with friends or save for later! 🔖 Image
🧠 What are yield-bearing stablecoins?

Unlike regular stablecoins like $USDT or $USDC, which just hold value, yield-bearing stablecoins earn passive income while you hold them, like a savings account for your crypto

In 2 days from now, a big safety upgrade will be executed on @aave

- A more resilient safety model for Aave
- Possibly 12% APY on stablecoin staking, 6% APY on ETH

8 things you should know about Aave Umbrella 👻🧵 Image
1️⃣ What's Aave Umbrella?

A new system that lets you stake aTokens - the interest-bearing tokens you get when lending on Aave (aUSDC, aGHO, aWETH) to earn rewards

In return, you take on risk: if borrowers don’t repay and Aave ends up with bad debt (deficit), your staked aTokens can be slashed to help cover the lossImage
2️⃣ Why is Aave Umbrella better than Safety Module (the current system)?

Safety Module: Users stake $AAVE or LP tokens

=> Not ideal because if Aave has a shortfall in stablecoins like USDC, it has to sell the staked $AAVE to cover it, causing sell pressure and delays.

ETH mindshare hit its rock bottom in 12 months (by @_kaitoai)

CT's attention has been dominated by "AI agents," which account for over 50%.

ETH hasn't broken its ATH for 3 years.

Is this the bottom signal? Will 2025 be the pivotal year for ETH? 🧠🧵 Image
First up, let's wrap up why ETH so underperformed in the last year:

1. Competition from other blockchains like Solana and Base
2. L2 explosion and blob space with its Dencun upgrade, making ETH less deflationary.
3. Staking mindshare fades away with the point meta
4. The launch of Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. was initially expected to boost ETH's price, but ended up a disappointment.
5. Market sentiment changed quickly, Ethereum is experiencing an "identity crisis," with doubts about its potential as a store of value or internet money.
All led to a dead end: Lower network activity

Ethereum has struggled to regain its peak activity levels. Weekly transactions, which peaked at 11M in May 2021, have plateaued at around 9M.

Similarly, active weekly addresses have remained range-bound between 300K and 400K. Image
