Remember @pendle_fi' TAM is not crypto yield. It is every asset with a future cash-flow stream that needs price discovery, a hedge, or a fixed-rate buyer.
Private credit, tokenized equities/dividends, infra, money-market funds, GPU financing etc. Basically issuers can tokenise each separately, but do not want to build a yield market from scratch. Pendle wants to be the common liquidity/rates layer and this NGI+ move is the first credible proof that Pendle can become the forward rates market for private assets.
This is bullish for $PENDLE cuz there is an upside chain👇
(1) A credible issuer sees Pendle as distribution + price discovery
(2) MM's and fixed income buyers build liquidity around PT/YT
(3) PTs become lending collateral and balance sheet assets
(4) The next issuer lists cuz the market already has users and liquidity
(5) More volume and yield fees support the buyback/distribution engine
Pendle has already showed that permissioned instances and a curator model are part of the RWA scaling path and that is essential in my opinion cuz serious private market capital will not necessarily enter a fully permissionless pool.
If Pendle can serve both open and permissioned structures, it becomes much harder to displace.
h/t to @Blockworks for the data
In just ~7 months, $PENDLE buyback has already passed 2.8M ($4M) 🔥
Every $PENDLE is acquired from the open market, then distributed fully back to sPENDLE stakers.
Emission is also down 78% since the start of the year, translating to ~0.5% annual inflation vs. >1.5% buyback YTD
Tokenized stock dividends have arrived on Pendle.
Introducing $NVDA (Oct 2026) and $PFE (Dec 2026) on @RobinhoodCrypto.
Will you buy these stocks at a discount?
Or do you want leveraged exposure to the dividends?
For the $NUKE holders amongst us that have never traded on Pendle before, take a look at this.
PT-sNUKE is currently trading at a 399% implied APY while sNUKE's actual APY is only 135%.
This means PT-sNUKE is giving you 2.9x MORE yield for the same exposure.
Part 1: sPENDLE
sPENDLE is the new tokenomics that succeeded vePENDLE.
Composable, yield-bearing, and optimized for low-IQ users, this boosted PENDLE staked from 20% TO 35%.

There's a NEW META in crypto land.
Thanks to it, I'm getting 40% Fixed APR
PASSIVELY
on 22.7k capital.
It's called Fixed Return Funding Rate Arbitrage. Funding rate arb, ON STEROIDS.
Full playbook + the open-source tool I built to run it 👇
#boros@boros_fi
We set a target to cut PENDLE emissions 30% this year.
We're down 76%.
Emissions are now at an ATL because every $PENDLE is working harder than it was, with much improved efficiency 🔥
5 years ago, Pendle V1 launched on Ethereum.
PT was called OT back then.
YT and OT were traded in their own separate liquidity pools.
Wonderland $TIME was the signature market back then.
V1 hit a glorious peak TVL of $35M back in those days.
A lot has happened in these 5 years to take Pendle where it is, and a lot more will happen to take where we want Pendle to be.
Happy birthday to me 🎂
@phtevenstrong Actly that also applies to underlying APR.
Every 1% diff betw avg underlying APR vs your implied APR at maturity can also be quantified in Rate Sens terms.
Happy New Year!
In the last 5 months that @boros_fi has been running, we have observed:
- $7B in cumulative trading volumes
- peak OI at $250M (prior to Xmas maturity)
- large counterparties swapping 8-figures in OI to capture FR spreads up to 7% across exchanges ie BN/OKX/HL
