Nothing wrong with apyUSD inherently as a product.
We didn’t list it as collateral on lending markets because it has no redemptions.
So now, who will liquidate the lending markets I wonder, and how did those curators even list the asset goes beyond me.
Two cap raises. One week.
Another 5M FXRP of capacity is now open on the @upshift_fi earnXRP vault — curated by @ClearstarLabs, powered by Flare Smart Accounts on @XamanWallet.
Same conviction. More room. More demand for onchain yield.
Euler's architecture allows for really cool structures and trades!
You can use a tokenized CLO (deJAAA) as collateral to short the S&P500 (already happening)
or
deposit S&P500 (deSPXA) and leverage it by borrowing USDC while getting paid extra by those who are shorting deSPXA.
Talk about efficiency 📈
You can lend out long or short deSPXA from @centrifuge on the Clearstar RWA cluster.
Passively lending out your deSPXA tokens currently pays 10.47% yield on top of being long the S&P 500.

USDC incentives are now live on the Clearstar RWA cluster on @eulerfinance.
The cluster is a lending market collateralized by deJAAA and deSPXA, which are tokenized real-world assets from @centrifuge.
USDC suppliers now earn base supply yield alongside the new USDC rewards.
Clearstar is now live on @superformxyz's curator discovery page.

When I talk to noncrypto people, I often make the following analogy:
“DeFi Yield ecosystem can be visualised as a group of guys sitting down, arranged in a circle and jerking each other off”

circa 2026, colorized.
By our calculations, $1.33B out of $4.4B of USDe's backing is lending against itself.
Here’s the rule we used:
Estimated self-lending = gross borrowing against USDe/sUSDe collateral × Ethena’s share of supplied liquidity in that market
So if a pool has $556M borrowed against USDe/sUSDe, but @ethena supplies 47.4% of the liquidity, we attribute ~$263M of that as Ethena-funded self-lending.
We’re not counting the full amount borrowed against USDe/sUSDe as “self-lending” where @ethena is not the only lender.
Using this pro-rata method, we get:
- Estimated Ethena self-lending: ~$1.33B
- Gross amount borrowed against Ethena assets: ~$1.67B
- Difference from pro-rata attribution: ~$336M

Ethena (@ethena) has updated its transparency page, providing exact visibility into where assets are deployed and making all onchain wallets public.
As of now, $2.8B of $4.4B, around 64%, is visible onchain. The remainder sits in custodial solutions where user assets are commingled and cannot be easily identified.

Euler has shown that it can monetize.
The next phase is about growth quality: more markets, more curators, more integrations, and more durable liquidity.
It couldn't get more exciting!
