what/where is the best place to earn yield on USDC right now?
1) In honor of my fellow baldman, @0xMert_ , I'll start with a @solana yield: @syrupfi has syrupUSDC, which is redeemable for USDC under different time periods of your choosing. It averages a 6-8% APR. You can also loop syrupUSDC on @KaminoFinance for 13% to 18% net APR.
2) @infiniFi_ has one of my favorite USDC denominated yields (one of my largest positions). iUSD is redeemable & mintable 1:1 with USDC. You can stake iUSD for 9–16% APR ➢ 9% siUSD, no lock ➢ 14%–16% li-USD, 1–8wk locks Loopable on Morpho: ⇒ 59% APR on 10x liUSD-1wk
3) @infiniFi_ on Pendle is equally good, if not better You can also get fixed rate 12–14% on Pendle. As a reminder, you can redeem these 1:1 for USDC at expiry. ALSO, these are loopable on Morpho. ⇒ 52.95% APR on 10x leveraged PT-iUSD
5) The Curator King, @gauntlet_xyz gtUSDa has 10.73% fully organic USDC yield. It's not leverageable yet. But I hope it will be.
6) @reservoir_xyz has the best base rate on USDC. wsrUSD has a 13% APY and is 1:1 mint/redeemable for USDC through rUSD. srUSD can be looped on @Dolomite_io for 65.5% APR
7) @upshift_fi has a vault aggregator... Upshift Core USDC is at 10% APR with 5x Points You can also technically leverage upUSDC on Morpho, but there's only 80K to borrow. @MEVCapital, when more?
8) Everything on @plumenetwork Many people don't know pUSD is mint and redeemable 1:1 for USDC. Just lending pUSD on Morpho nets 15-20% APR. Looping gets wild if you use assets.
9) Much riskier, but @PeapodsFinance is definitely the highest return for lending. TL;DR 24-35% APR lending to highly volatile capital. I would be hesitant to call this battle tested. It's still in Beta, the critical in the audits have been addressed, but there were quite a few. I don't endorse peapods, but it is a USDC yield, and it's certainly high.
10) @eulerfinance has 87% APR on sUSDC sUSDC is Spark's USDC. You can loop it against $3M of USDC collateral. Note: 4.5% of the rewards are in rEUL, but anyone who's vested their rEUL has been reward greatly so far.
11) You can also just lend USDC on @avax on @eulerfinance for 13%
12) One more @avax yield for the boys. @BlackholeDex has AXD/USDC at 131% APR (single tick). But a more reasonable 2-tick range has a 44% APR. Blackhole is a ve(3,3) dex and it's been growing like wildfire on Avalanche.
That's it! Thanks for reading. Now go grow your USDC. Ambassadorships mentioned: - SummerFi - Pendle - Euler - Avalabs - Reservoir - Infinifi
