This Week's Yield Opps

🧑‍🌾 Farming Alpha: Ethena exploded onto the scene this week with high yields on its synthetic dollar stablecoin. Conic is tapping into Curve to provide depositors high yields on ETH and crvUSD deposits, while Umami continues to serve up nourishing yields on GM pools thanks to ARB token incentives. Fix yields on ezETH by purchasing PTs on Pendle to capitalize on speculation for staking airdrops or pick up some interest income on BTC by supplying it to Fraxlend!
