My top yield strategies on Pendle
Here are some great ways to put your stablecoins to work👇
1. Provide liquidity to Pendle's sNUSD pool for 11.8% APY + 25x Neutrl points
sNUSD, @Neutrl's yield-bearing dollar, has consistently generated 10-15% APR.
Neutrl buys locked tokens OTC at big discounts and shorts them until they unlock, creating a delta-neutral position with a very high yield.
However, only a small % of sNUSD collateral is allocated to this strategy, with 96% of it being in stablecoins like USDC, USDT, USDe, and USDS, which I consider pretty safe.
2. Provide liquidity to Pendle's reUSD pool for 9.9% APY + 30x Re points
If you're looking for a lower-risk strategy, you might find this pool interesting.
reUSD is backed only by short-term T-bills and delta-neutral ETH strategies via Ethena.
reUSD is the yield-bearing dollar of @re, which has a points program and subsidizes reUSD's yield with 2.5% additional APR paid by its team.
3. Provide liquidity to Liquity's ysyBOLD pool for 19% APY + airdrops from Liquity forks
ysyBOLD is Yearn's BOLD tokenized Stability pool product, which generates yield from Liquity V2 Stability Pools.
What I like about BOLD, @LiquityProtocol's stablecoin, is that it's one of the only truly decentralized stablecoin dApps with immutable code.
Its stability pools earn yield from liquidation fees and interest payments.
The yield offered by this pool is likely to decrease over time, but whenever there are many liquidations, it skyrockets.
4. Provide liquidity to Pendle's jrNUSD pool for 13.75% APY + 25x Neutrl points
If you're willing to take higher risks to get a higher yield, this one is for you.
jrNUSD is a junior risk tranche product built by @strata_markets on top of sNUSD, which gets a higher yield by providing insurance coverage for Neutrl's strategy.
As long as Neutrl doesn't incur losses and generates yield, jrNUSD's yield will always be higher than sNUSD's yield.
I find the jrNUSD pool pretty interesting, as providing liquidity earns you both Strata and Neutrl points, in addition to the high APR.
And that's all for now.
As you can see, there are still many ways to earn double-digit APRs even in these market conditions.
Any other DeFi yields I should check out?
Momentum's Title Deed Nomination Phase is now live.
I am eligible for a Momentum Title Deed and I will be nominating 3 people who like, RT and engage on this post to also be nominated.
This could be your chance to win solid rewards from the @MMTFinance $MMT team.
More info:
- Title Deeds are NFTs representing recognition and contribution.
- Holders gain access to future ecosystem benefits such as Momentum Token Generation Lab airdrops, priority access, and many more perks.
Protocols success ≠ token price.
Seems obvious but often overlooked.
Tokens perform better when the team really cases about the token: focusing on liquidity, revenue sharing, and holding/locking their own tokens.
So many cases where token is just a fundraising and liquidity bootstrapping tool.
What I found out about Loud:
• It's an experiment that rewards social media engagement
• $LOUD will have a 4% trading fee
• Top 25 yappers will earn most generated fees
• Everyone is talking about it due to its upcoming ICO tomorrow
• KAITO stakers will get an 🪂 from it
Crypto exit strategy (what the pros don’t want to tell you on X), The Cheat Sheet: 👇
1: Sell into strength.
Don’t wait for red candles. Scale out when prices are euphoric.
2: Pre-set exit targets.
Decide your sell points BEFORE emotions kick in.
3: Scale out gradually.
Take profits in chunks (10–20% at key milestones).
4: Respect real-life money.
$50k realised > $500k unrealised.
5: Beware “one more pump” syndrome.
Greed destroys more fortunes than bad investments.
6: Watch for weakening bounces.
Smaller recoveries = momentum dying = bigger danger ahead.
7: Anchor yourself to a number.
Write it down. If you hit the amount that’s life changing to YOU, take some money out.
Don’t think “just a little more.”
8: Tops don’t look like tops.
They look like “new normal.” Recognise the trap.
Trump launching a coin at the time felt like the new normal, it was the most obvious top in hindsight.
9: Protect freedom over flexing.
No one cares about your screenshots.
Your bank account does.
10: Survival = Wealth.
Those who exit early enough are the ones who win long-term.
They’re the ones that can re-invest into Bitcoin after a 50% correction.
Solana DeFi keeps winning.
Its stablecoin supply is up 400% in the past 365 days alone. The SOL liquid staking TVL is also at ATH.
Quite impressive considering the recent downtrend.
