Lazy Investor's Guide: Cap Announces Stablecoin Airdrop, New Pools Offer High APY; hyENA Increases LP Quota (Jan 22) This article covers low-risk, stablecoin-focused yield opportunities for crypto investors. Key updates include: - **Exchange-based options**: Binance’s USD1 deposit campaign is ending, but Bitget’s collaboration with Arbitrum Morpho offers 9.2% APY on USDC/USDT with high liquidity (up to $400k per user). Limited-time high-yield campaigns like Unitas (37.04% APY) are also noted. - **On-chain Strategy 1: Pendle Cap LP**: Following Cap’s announcement of a cUSD stablecoin airdrop (Stabledrop) and new Homestead incentives, Pendle pools offer high yields. The cUSD LP yields up to 24.73% APY (with PENDLE staking) and 20x Cap points. The stcUSD LP offers up to 123% APY (likely to decay) and 5x points. - **On-chain Strategy 2: Exponent & RateX ONyc LP**: Onre’s insured stablecoin ONyc offers ~30.89% APY on Exponent (with Onre incentives, may drop to ~20%) and ~25% on RateX (with RTX rewards). Both offer bonus积分 multipliers. - **On-chain Strategy 3: hyENA LP**: Ethena’s hyENA increased its LP cap to $40M. While base APY is modest (~4.86%), it offers 70x Ethena points and 5x Upshift points, appealing for long-term Ethena supporters. Always consider smart contract and platform risks when participating in DeFi strategies.

This column aims to cover low-risk yield strategies in the current market, primarily involving stablecoins (and their derivative tokens) (Odaily Note: code risk can never be eliminated), to help users who wish to gradually grow their capital through U-based wealth management find relatively ideal interest-earning opportunities.

Odaily Note: For past records, please refer to "Lazy Person's Wealth Management Restart｜Ethereal Earns 27% APR While Farming Points; Huma Opens New 28% APY God Pool (January 6)".

Exchange Wealth Management

The previous issue mentioned Binance's USD1 deposit event and OKX Pay's USDG holding interest event. The former is about to end, while the latter has relatively limited capacity (capped at 10,000 USDG).

For friends who still wish to manage wealth directly on exchanges, consider Bitget's collaboration with Arbitrum Morpho for the on-chain earn event. With platform subsidies, the flexible APY for USDC and USDT can reach 9.2%. The advantage of this event is its large capacity (single account, single currency up to $400,000, with deposits and withdrawals at any time). The drawback is the additional layer of security risk from on-chain protocols. Participate based on your risk tolerance.

Another popular wealth management opportunity is various deposit events in the Binance Wallet, such as yesterday's Unitas (real-time APY 37.04%). However, these usually have limits, and slots are highly competitive. It is recommended to keep an eye on announcements and set reminders to participate.

On-Chain Strategy One: Pendle Cap LP (Up to 123% APY + Points)

On January 19, the stablecoin project Cap announced its 1CO and Stabledrop plan. The so-called Stabledrop means Cap will airdrop users who participated in the first season points event, Frontier, in the form of the stablecoin cUSD.

At the same time, Cap also announced that the Frontier program will end on January 29, followed immediately by the launch of the next season points program, Homestead. The relevant liquidity pools for the Homestead program have already been deployed on Pendle and will continue to accumulate first-season points (Caps) rewards until Frontier ends.

Stimulated by the innovative mechanism of the stablecoin airdrop, the current yields for the Homestead-related liquidity pools on Pendle are very attractive. Among them, the base APY for the cUSD LP is 11.33%, which can be amplified to 24.73% with sufficient PENDLE staking, along with a 20x points efficiency multiplier; the base APY for the stcUSD LP is 52.9%, which can be amplified to 123% with sufficient PENDLE staking (the pool is new and small, so the yield is expected to decay quickly), along with a 5x points efficiency multiplier.

On-Chain Strategy Two: Exponent and RateX ONyc LP (Up to 30.89% APY)

On January 20, Onre, an on-chain reinsurance protocol backed by Solana Ventures and Ethena Labs, renewed the liquidity for ONyc (Onre's yield-bearing stablecoin) expiring in May on Exponent and RateX.

Currently, with additional incentives from Onre, the real-time APY for providing ONyc LP on Exponent is as high as 30.89% — the total pool quota is $3.5 million, which is not very large. Only 25.76% is currently deposited, and the overall APY is expected to dilute to around 20% once full (currently, 14.44% of the yield comes from additional incentives, which will be significantly affected by dilution). In addition to the yield, LPs can also receive 8x Onre points rewards until January 31, after which it will drop to the regular 5x multiplier.

The ONyc LP pool on RateX does not have Onre incentives, but RateX itself subsidizes RTX incentives, with an overall APY of around 25%. The Onre points are the same as on Exponent, but it also earn 8x RateX points.

The project is relatively niche, so it is recommended to participate with small amounts.

On-Chain Strategy Three: hyENA LP (4.86% APY + 70x Ethena Points Multiplier)

hyENA, the decentralized contract exchange and "son" of Ethena, recently increased the LP deposit limit again. The current quota is $40 million, with about $8 million space remaining.

Currently, the LP APY for hyENA is about 4.86%. The base yield is not ideal, but it also offers a 70x Ethena points multiplier (currently the most efficient points channel besides YT) and a 5x Upshift points multiplier. Consider participating if you are optimistic about Ethena's future development.

The Verdict in Choi Tae-won's Divorce Case: Revealing the Inheritance Undercurrent Behind SK Hynix's Trillion-Won Empire

SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won's high-profile divorce case, involving a record 1.38 trillion won settlement, has drawn attention to the succession plans for Korea's second-largest conglomerate, especially its crown jewel, SK hynix. Unlike traditional chaebol scripts centered on the eldest son, Chey's three children from his marriage to former President Roh Tae-woo's daughter, Roh Soh-yeong, are carving distinct, non-traditional paths. Eldest daughter Chey Yun-jung (b. 1989) is seen as the most evident successor. With a scientific and consulting background, she holds executive roles at SK bioscience and SK Inc.'s growth support department, focusing on future strategy and biopharma. Her marriage is to an AI infrastructure entrepreneur, not a traditional business alliance. Second daughter Chey Min-jung (b. 1991) took a unique route, voluntarily serving as a South Korean naval officer, including an anti-piracy deployment. She later worked on policy and strategy for SK hynix in Washington D.C. before co-founding an AI-driven healthcare startup. She married a former U.S. Marine Corps officer, connecting her to U.S. defense and policy circles—networks crucial for a global semiconductor giant. The only son, Chey In-geun (b. 1995), who studied physics like his father, worked briefly at SK E&S before joining McKinsey. Despite fitting the traditional "heir" profile as the eldest son, he remains silent and holds no public position or shares in SK, suggesting the old succession playbook is obsolete. As SK hynix's valuation soars, becoming a geopolitical asset in the AI era, the heirs' legitimacy is no longer automatic. They must prove themselves in fields like AI biotech, global policy, and strategic consulting. Their marriages also reflect new elite networks in tech and defense, not old political alliances. Their inheritance is the complex challenge of navigating a globalized, tech-driven world, not just a corporate throne.

Banks oppose stablecoin yield deal – Can CLARITY Act find 60 votes?

The Bank Policy Institute (BPI) has opposed the latest draft of the CLARITY Act, criticizing its provisions on stablecoin yield and illicit finance. The banking industry sought a total ban on stablecoin yield, but the bill's compromise only prohibits passive yield on idle balances. This opposition has influenced lawmakers, reducing tentative Republican Senate support to potentially 49 votes. With the 60-vote threshold needed, securing sufficient Democratic support appears difficult as some pro-crypto Democrats also oppose the bill due to ethics and illicit finance concerns. Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed doubt the bill can pass before the August recess. Market odds for the bill's passage in 2026 have fallen, leaving its future uncertain.

2 Months, Valuation Soars from $8.8B to $68B! The Largest AI Model Hub OpenRouter May Be Acquired

Stripe is reportedly in talks to acquire AI model marketplace OpenRouter for a price nearing $10 billion, a dramatic increase from its $1.3 billion valuation just two months prior. The deal, which could be announced within a month, would see the payment giant absorb a key "router" or aggregation layer in the AI infrastructure stack. OpenRouter provides developers with a single API to access over 400 large language models (LLMs), automatically routing queries to the most suitable model based on cost, capability, and speed. This allows AI applications to optimize expenses while maintaining user experience. Founded in 2023 by ex-OpenSea co-founder Alex Atallah and Louis Vichy, OpenRouter has grown rapidly, reaching $50 million in annualized revenue by April and serving over one million developers. For Stripe, the acquisition of OpenRouter follows its late-2025 purchase of usage-based billing platform Metronome. The combined strategy aims to create an integrated suite for the AI economy: OpenRouter would handle model selection and routing, Metronome would manage granular usage-based billing, and Stripe's core platform would process payments. This positions Stripe to control a critical part of the AI application value chain, influencing which models get used while simplifying cost management for enterprise customers.

From OpenSea to OpenRouter: Is Alex Atallah Repeating His 'Exit at the Peak' Playbook?

From OpenSea to OpenRouter: Is Alex Atallah Repeating His "Exit at the Peak" Playbook? According to the Wall Street Journal, payments giant Stripe is in talks to acquire the AI model aggregation platform OpenRouter in a potential deal valuing the company near $100 billion. This would mark founder Alex Atallah's second creation of a company reaching a $100 billion valuation, following his co-founding of NFT marketplace OpenSea. OpenRouter, founded just over three years ago, has grown rapidly by acting as a unified gateway for developers to access over 400 AI models. It currently has about 10 million users and processes over 200 trillion tokens monthly. While the platform's annualized revenue is around $50 million, its valuation has skyrocketed from $1.3 billion in March 2026. The potential acquisition by Stripe, a company OpenRouter's founder once likened it to, represents a major expansion into AI infrastructure for the payments leader. This move echoes Atallah's previous timing with OpenSea, where he departed before the NFT market's significant downturn. For OpenRouter, selling now may be strategic. Despite its scale, its business model—charging a 5-5.5% fee on AI inference calls—faces pressure from competition, open-source models, and potential price wars among model providers, limiting its profitability narrative for an IPO. A key asset for potential acquirers like Stripe is OpenRouter's vast repository of real-world AI usage data, which offers unique insights into model performance and developer preferences that are difficult to replicate. Whether this potential deal signifies a new valuation benchmark for AI infrastructure or another market peak signal remains to be seen.

Pons V2 brings RWA trading pairs as Robinhood Chain broadens its ambitions

Pons, a key launchpad on Robinhood Chain, has launched its V2 upgrade. The update aims to boost liquidity, remove trading restrictions for most users via an ETH-denominated bonding curve, and introduces support for custom tokenized real-world asset (RWA) trading pairs. This aligns with Robinhood Chain's broader RWA focus. The upgrade also allows creators to collect fees in ETH by default. The network itself is growing rapidly, surpassing $300 million in Total Value Locked. Its cumulative DEX volume has exceeded $9 billion, with about 80% coming from speculative memecoin trading. However, data shows 63% of traders are at a loss, with profits concentrated in a small number of wallets. The introduction of RWAs could help drive more organic adoption for the chain, which is positioning itself as a major player for speculative trading, challenging networks like Base and Solana.
