This Week's Yield Opps

🧑‍🌾 Farming Alpha: While Convex cbBTC-WBTC LP yields collapsed, Fraxlend WBTC yields increased, and although Aerodrome tBTC-cbBTC LP yields remain elevated, they have come in significantly from their mid-triple digit levels last week. 

Spiking utilization rates on Aave’s DAI, USDe, and FRAX stablecoin pools on Ethereum may signal danger, but they also present heightened return opportunities for lenders. Alternatively, the massive divergence between Aave crvUSD borrowing rates and Curve crvUSD lending rates continues to provide a lucrative spread trade for those willing to assume the marginal risks associated with borrowing crvUSD from Aave and depositing it into Convex.
