Holding stablecoins is starting to get more rewarding. In the past, they were just a safe place to park money, but now exchanges and projects are finding new ways to give people returns for holding them.

Take GHO as an example. Right now, you can earn around 15% APR just for holding it. This is a limited-time offer, but it shows a bigger trend: platforms are competing for stablecoin users by offering higher yields.



The question is whether this can last. Big promotional rates usually drop once enough people join. Still, with more stablecoins in the market and growing demand for them, we might be moving toward a future where earning yield on stables becomes normal.



If that happens, simply holding stablecoins could turn into a steady, low-risk way to earn passive income in crypto.

Where can someone earn 10% by holding GHO? I guess that would be on exchanges. I mean centralized exchanges.

I can not hold on exchanges. I only saw that it can be saved on Bitget to earn 10% and not 15%.

Yeah it's on exchanges, they could be a decent offer on Defi apps though. It was 15% earlier, probably Thrhrr influx of people taking advantage of the yield that's why it's reduced. But as a crypto person, you can do without Cex, at least I can't.. you'll just have to be careful and choose one with decent record.

It's something out of the meme-league - find a new X stable to profit while a good campaign lasts.

IMO, not the best way to find where to park chunk of your funds.

It can be attractive sure but to benefit from these staking rewards you have to give up custody to a third party. I just don’t like it, the risk isn’t worth the reward. You might get 10% for 12 months but what happens if in month 11 the platform does an FTX? I just am not willing to take the risk.

That's the same as giving charity to them, the risk is too big to get that 10% return, haha I'd rather buy memecoin than have to keep USDT/USDC managed by someone else.

FTX was the worst experience of all time, they traumatized many of us from all of its collapses which resulted in many victims, wouldn't repeat it a second time.

There are two tricks in crypto that con artists use pretty regularly.  Promising a certain yield % (that is impossible since Bitcoin is fixed) and using unit bias to trick people into thinking something is being valued less than it really is. 

The old saying is that if you don't know where the yield comes from, then you are the yield.  So I ask, where does the yield come from for these stablecoins?  Is it based on lending that will collapse?  Is it just giving your money back to you in small amounts and calling it yield?

No stablecoin is going to be able to promise you higher yield than you could get in a money market account.  It just isn't possible.  Avoid those who don't understand this.

These percentages from deposits and holding/staking these stable coins on exchanges are guaranteed but, the rates could change dramatically. Like if you've got that 10% as of the moment, they have the rights to change that eventually without any prior notice. And that happens when many of the users also starts to put their stables on it. And if it's not a stablecoin that you'll deposit and stake, you're prone to impermanent loss so, always tell the risk that it bears when you want people to stake those altcoins you've got in your promotions.

HIVE-based dollars (HBD) gave 20% for years, right on the blockchain, your own keys.

Eventually after many times folks had suggested there was no need any longer to compete with the likes of FTX so the rate could be lowered, it went down to 15%.

I suppose if all this latest crap goes the way of FTX folks will start suggesting again that is is time to lower the rate again, but meanwhile it is still 15%.

Plus of course if you post on HIVE suggesting it be changed or not be changed, either way you can earn just for posting. Smiley

Heck you can even earn just for upvoting other people's suggestions or indeed any other posts there if others agree with you that they deserve an upvote. Cheesy

There usually always some catch when a platform offers high yield APY. Usually it requires you to stake their coin and so on.

Same thing as in pendle, 16% when you stake pendle but 8% real LP APY so I expected this to be the same.
You kinda better off following binance's subscription campaign where they give out boosted APY because they got allocation from some project to distribute into their users.

That's called staking and not yield bearing stablecoin as I understand.

Yield bearing are those stablecoins that rebase its token price to higher price overtime due to its nature which is yield bearing, it bears the yield and built in into the token.

One example is cUSDO by openeden which rebase its token price. as for GHO, its just stable coin with staking program, the title is misleading.

One example is cUSDO by openeden which rebase its token price. as for GHO, its just stable coin with staking program, the title is misleading.


In the Galactic Milieu we too avoid "dividends", because as dividend-day approaches the spot market prices tend to climb, then drop back after the dividend has been paid.

We prefer to accumulate the value into the asset itself, which also provides an incentive for players to sell such assets; particularly in role-playing games it has been apparent over quite a number now of decades that players typically prefer never to part with anything that just keeps on providing them income without needing to be parted with to access that income, so such an incentive to sell can be useful.

(For those familiar with whatever Dungeons and Dragons rulebook or supplement introduced for example "Odin's Ring" (Gods, Demigods and Heroes, probably?) which generates a ring of gold daily, have you ever seen a player actually sell Odin's Ring rather than just hang on to it or give it to someone else maybe as a gift, basically passing it down in the group or family type of thing?)

In the Milieu when people do end up selling, the spot markets often end up being "dumped down" thereby, resulting in such "dumps" being bargain-buying opportunities, as nothing in typical "spot markets" forces anyone to sell for the actual calculated (from the "treasuries") value of whatever they choose to sell.

We also of course deprecate adding more stuff into one's "treasury" while spot market prices are tending to hang down below the value calculated from the treasury.

(Calculation from treasury is simple, we just divide total value of treasury by number of units issued of the asset, e.g. 21 million or so for IXCoin and I0Coin.)

So from the sound of it the Milieu might no longer be the only project whose assets' stability is designed to be a constant rise in value rather than, like so called stable assets that track fiat value, being in effect designed and intended to lose value over time?

There will always be a deadline for the campaign. Your picture is related to the staking purpose, which often last for 30 days - 90 days. The problem is that reward is limited. The more people join, the less APR you will receive. You know this is APR, not APY.

I actively farmed in Momentum, which give me 25% APR, but sometime is up and down depending on numerous factor. However, the same mechamism is also applicable on CEX staking too.

I also agree staking stable token is one of best way to get yield these days, but always remember staking ain't same as yield bearing.

There has not been a single platform that has proven itself for long enough for this to be a recognizably safe idea in the long run. These types of things should be lock and forget, come back once per year to check and compound. Low maintenance would make it appealing for many people. But all the scams and hacks make it a bit unsafe. We will see how it develops.

Take GHO as an example. Right now, you can earn around 15% APR just for holding it. This is a limited-time offer, but it shows a bigger trend: platforms are competing for stablecoin users by offering higher yields.
15% APR is a red flag. It is either unsustainable and thus fraudulent or something will go wrong with it.

HIVE-based dollars (HBD) gave 20% for years, right on the blockchain, your own keys.

Eventually after many times folks had suggested there was no need any longer to compete with the likes of FTX so the rate could be lowered, it went down to 15%.

I suppose if all this latest crap goes the way of FTX folks will start suggesting again that is is time to lower the rate again, but meanwhile it is still 15%.

Plus of course if you post on HIVE suggesting it be changed or not be changed, either way you can earn just for posting. Smiley

Heck you can even earn just for upvoting other people's suggestions or indeed any other posts there if others agree with you that they deserve an upvote. Cheesy

Well, 15% is still a lot compared to what's being offered by banks these days. I've read that Hermetica's USDh stablecoin has an attractive APY of 8%. Much lower than HBD, but sometimes it goes as high as 25% APY. Even USDD (Tron's Decentralized Overcollaterized Stablecoin) has an APY of 20%. These high stablecoin rates might rival traditional finance (otherwise known as centralized finance/CeFi) in the long run. And with the GENIUS act signed into law in the US, you can bet the USD stablecoins industry will grow bigger and stronger than ever.

I'm not aware of any EUR-based stablecoins with high yield, though. Maybe it's because the EU has stricter crypto regulations? I hope attractive stablecoin yield bring more people into the crypto economy. The "fun" is just getting started. Who knows? Maybe stablecoins will replace traditional Fiat. One can only hope.
