NEWS
Talk of the Town
Diving into today's newsletters, we're slicing through the fluff to bring you the good stuff.
Stablecoins are the talk of the town, and yields are looking juicy as hell. Serenity's deep dive is dishing out the alpha on where to park your cash. Top of the list? Abracadabra's MIM-2CRV pool is killing it with a 68% yield, and it's not just low liquidity; we're talking $3.8m TVL. Not far behind, Magpie's crvUSD is offering a sweet 43% yield with $4.2m TVL, and Velodrome's USDV-USDC pool is no slouch either at 33% yield and $2.2m TVL.
On the broader scene, stablecoin supplies have ballooned by $2.2 billion in 90 days. Binance no longer supports BUSD, Paxos is cozying up with Abu Dhabi for stablecoin issuance, Circle's buddying up with SBI Holdings to grow USDC in Japan, and Aave DAO's sweating bullets over their $GHO depegging fiasco.
