I am looking to put my USDC on Ethereum (but may consider bridging to other networks if worthwhile?) onto a staking platform but would also like the "control over my funds" that liquid staking aka rocketpool provides. But i dont want to stake ETH as it is too volatile at the moment.

So, I want to earn the maximum SAFE YIELD. I would rather earn 5% with 100% safety than 10% with 99% safety, if that makes sense.

Please recommend utterly secure, but with optimal staking/yield returns, as i want to offset the cost of inflation but i do not want the volatility of holding BTC or ETH in the current market.

thank you, for your inputs.

I prefer providing liquidity as a market maker as opposed to staking. Platforms like Raydium would let you use the Solana chain to provide USDC/WETH liquidity that could earn you a percent in the thousands depending how you setup your liquidity range.

You can use this. https://sky.money/

Sky was a rebranded form of maker dao. It offers 4% - 16% yield(totally depend on the product). It's using USDS(new brand of DAI). It's also offering 0% slippage when you're swapping from USDC to USDS(viceversa through sparkfi swap). It's also liquid, so you can withdraw it anytime.

I'm also using it at this moment.

Just go to AAVE and supply it. Handful of project that I know allocate ~90% of their USDC to generate interest for their yield token from there because it's the safest and offer good enough APY if utilization is quite high though current APR just sitting at 2.54%.
Honestly even 5% is already on the higher and risky side for an APY if we are talking about staking. More than that, the sustainability is questionable.

I have not tested their services before but I know about Yield Finance which is a great platform as well. What is the APY of this platform for the purpose of comparison and how safe do you think they are?

I prefer providing liquidity as a market maker as opposed to staking. Platforms like Raydium would let you use the Solana chain to provide USDC/WETH liquidity that could earn you a percent in the thousands depending how you setup your liquidity range.
In terms of profitability and security, I think providing liquidity is better than staking. Staking have the risk of losing the entire funds as it involves keeping funds in a centralized platform in which any security concern will lead to total loss.

Ethereum is not a non inflationary crypto with capped total supply like bitcoin, in fact ethereum total supply is infinite and the only thing keeping it from overly inflating is the burning rate.

So, saying ethereum values goes up overtime due to cash inflation isn't necessary true. The proof is current ethereum's price that has been on the same range since two cycles ago.



It's different if you're talking about bitcoin.

this or fringe, if you want decentralized usdc staking - the other option of course is simply to stick it on Nexo

mmmh, tried chaser but the problem with it, is it doesnt integrate well with ledger, i had to use metamask to unstake . agreed its probably the best/highest safe apy on usdc right now though.

I've heard a lot about the cool project from Jito
and the percentage of profitability there is more than 5 %
The asset remains liquid even when it is in the steak
There is no direct freezing of funds and a low entry threshold
