This Week's Yield Opps

🧑‍🌾 Farming Alpha: Onchain yields continued on their downward trend this week. Pendle users are earning stellar APYs on pufETH (an LRT that has not yet conducted its first airdrop) and can still earn relatively high returns on Ethena assets, although these yields have come in significantly off the highs. Gearbox and Morpho are both offering high yields to stablecoin holders willing to lend against Ethena assets, meanwhile Fraxlend continues to offer the best bluechip returns on BTC.
