ATH in daily trading volume yesterday for @pendle_fi + broke the $100M mark for the first time + Ethena USDe launch 🚀
Been busy with launches and it's about to get busier!
Have seen a couple comments along the lines of:
"I can just do it myself"
Sure you can, think even my grandmother can
It is not the cash and carry which is interesting in isolation, it is what you can unlock when this is trade is transformed into a liquid and composable token:
Money Markets:
While you can hold sUSDe unlevered, you may also be able to eventually deposit this on a money market like @aave@spark_protocol_@MorphoLabs
There you can borrow dollars from the rest of DeFi and if those borrow costs are below sUSDe yield, it begins to unlock very interesting post leverage returns through looping
As an example with rough current figures:
-DAI borrow costs on Spark are around 6%
-Assume sUSDe yield at ~26%
-On reasonably low leverage [3-5x] you could loop this delta in rates to achieve >50% post leverage returns
Of course this is just an example, rates can change, and sUSDe will likely drag up borrow costs through DeFi as users perform this trade which will of course impact the post leverage economics
But this is not possible by performing the cash and carry yourself and is only unlocked when you tokenize the cash and carry to then compose throughout DeFi
Yield Bearing Perpetual Collateral:
@aevoxyz recently introduced aeUSD where users can margin their collateral with a yield bearing dollar at 4.75%
This is extremely compelling for most users, especially large trading funds with a strong focus on capital efficiency
The same idea applies to sUSDe, and at times this yield may be more attractive than 4.75%
Whether it is on DEXs or CEXs, I believe unlocking this capital efficiency could be one of the larger themes in 2024, and again is uniquely unlocked by tokenizing the cash and carry
I shared some thoughts on this with the @synthetix community a week ago:

Interest Rate Swap Markets:
@pendle_fi has started to unlock some very interesting use cases for fixed to floating swaps
While there is a graveyard of projects who have attempted to make interest rate swap products in DeFi, the challenge has always been finding a single, scalable asset on which to build these products without fragmenting liquidity
What is interesting about sUSDe is you have two varying yield sources from staked ETH and the basis, both of which can now be put into @pendle_fi in order to allow users to trade rates at fixed maturities, and create what will be the first scalable yield curve in crypto built on staked ETH and the basis
For example if:
-sUSDe floating rate is at ~26%
-You think funding will increase going into a potential ETH ETF announcement in May
-Allow a user to lock in a fixed rate zero coupon return via PT, while you purchase YT sUSDe and take leveraged upside exposure to that rate increasing
Again, non of this is possible with just doing the cash and carry yourself and begins to unlock a whole new suite of interest rate products within DeFi
Summary:
The point of @ethena isn't to save you some hassle to execute a cash and carry
What is exciting is being able to tokenize this asset, make it extremely liquid through DeFi and CeFi, and then allow new and interesting use cases to be built upon it
Composing different money legos together is what I personally first found interesting about DeFi and what drew me to the space
And its only when this cash and carry is tokenized we can really start to create magic
Excited to finally announce our investment in @pendle_fi through an OTC transaction last December!🚀🌚
We’re here to back Pendle's vision of unlocking interest rate derivatives for everyone. Here are our thoughts on Pendle & the evolving DeFi landscape: https://t.co/23EyqP422d
