When On-Chain Lending Systems Converge

Credit is the time machine of the economy, enabling businesses to bring future cash flows into today's decisions. The global credit gap for SMEs in emerging markets is estimated at $5.7 trillion. Recent developments in on-chain lending, such as Kraken's DeFi Earn and Bitwise's vault strategies on Morpho, signal a maturation beyond the speculative cycles of 2022. The ecosystem now integrates vaults for self-custody and transparency, automated risk management by firms like Chaos Labs, and AI-driven optimization engines. Total value locked in lending protocols has grown 150% in two years, with active loans exceeding $40 billion—double the 2022 peak. This evolution reduces operational inefficiencies, lowers credit costs via stablecoins and smart contracts, and enhances accessibility, potentially helping bridge the global credit gap. However, risks like liquidity constraints and curator discretion remain.

This New Launch Means XRP Holders Can Now Earn Yield – Here’s How

The Flare Network has launched modular lending for XRP through integrations with Morpho and Mystic Finance, enabling FXRP holders to earn yield and borrow without selling their holdings. FXRP is a 1:1 overcollateralized representation of XRP on Flare. Users can deposit FXRP into permissionless, yield-bearing vaults to earn returns based on market conditions and automated strategies. They can also use FXRP as collateral to borrow stablecoins or other assets. This development expands DeFi utility for XRP holders, allowing them to access liquidity and structured yield strategies while their underlying XRP remains on the XRP Ledger.

Superform Expands to the U.S. With Mobile App Launch for a User-Owned Neobank

Superform, the first user-owned neobank, has launched its mobile app, marking its official expansion into the U.S. market. The app provides a familiar mobile banking experience for onchain finance, enabling users to grow their crypto assets while maintaining full custody and control. It features SuperVaults—non-custodial vaults that automatically deploy user funds into high-performing DeFi strategies like stablecoin lending and liquidity provisioning. These vaults have generated an average return of 8.4% APY, significantly outperforming traditional options like T-Bills. The app allows users to easily onboard with fiat, earn yield on assets like USD, BTC, and ETH, and manage cross-chain swaps and transfers. Superform’s platform currently manages over $180 million in deposits across more than 1,000 vaults.

The $6 Billion Business of Stablecoin Wealth Management: Where Does the Yield Come From, and Where Does the Risk Go?

The article examines the resurgence of crypto yield products, specifically "Vaults," which manage over $6 billion in assets and are marketed as transparent, non-custodial alternatives to failed centralized lenders like Celsius and BlockFi. These Vaults use smart contracts to automate lending and trading strategies, offering yields from activities like liquidity provision and stablecoin lending. However, the piece highlights inherent risks: competitive pressure for higher returns can lead to increased leverage and off-platform exposures, as seen in the collapse of Stream Finance, which lost $93 million. While Vaults aim to avoid the opacity of previous models, the article questions whether transparency alone can prevent a shadow banking crisis, especially as stablecoin adoption grows and platforms like Coinbase promote high-yield products. The balance between innovation and risk remains unresolved.

The End of DeFi Lego: Vaults Are Left with Nothing but Deposits

This article argues that the era of "DeFi Lego" – the complex, interlocking composability of decentralized finance protocols – is ending. The primary user behavior has collapsed into a single action: depositing stablecoins into yield-bearing vaults for a return. Major exchanges like Binance, OKX, and HTX are forging their own paths by subsidizing and promoting their own stablecoin products (e.g., USD1, USDG) to capture user value directly. On-chain, the yield landscape has become homogenized, with vaults competing almost solely on the APY they offer for USDT and USDC deposits. Users no longer care about the underlying protocols (Morpho, Aave, etc.) or their governance tokens; they are primarily attracted by high yields and the branding of the platforms offering them (e.g., Kraken, Coinbase). This shift has led to several consequences: governance tokens are losing value, DeFi ecosystem has become a flattened landscape of competing vaults rather than a collaborative system, and the end-user experience is now a simple flow of converting fiat to stablecoins on a CEX, finding the highest-yielding vault, and spending via crypto debit cards. The article concludes that DeFi must learn from traditional finance (TradFi), which successfully serves human needs and builds network effects. To survive, DeFi protocols must move beyond being mere back-end yield generators and find ways to re-engage users, rebuild trust, and create value beyond just high APYs.

Bitwise tests institutional appetite for non-custodial DeFi yield with Morpho vault launch

Bitwise Asset Management launched non-custodial yield vaults on Morpho on January 26, marking its first direct participation in DeFi strategy curation. The vaults target up to 6% annualised yield through overcollateralised lending pools, with Bitwise managing strategy while users retain asset control. This structure avoids custody and reduces regulatory exposure, addressing key institutional concerns. However, risks include variable yields, smart-contract vulnerabilities, and market-dependent liquidation mechanisms. Bitwise has not disclosed vault size or whether access is limited to institutional investors. The launch tests whether professionally curated non-custodial DeFi products can attract sustained institutional interest.

The United States Will Not Reject Stablecoins

The article argues that the U.S. has no fundamental reason to reject stablecoins, despite regulatory friction. The debate centers on the "passive yield" mechanism, with traditional banks fearing massive deposit outflows—potentially up to $6 trillion—from community banks into yield-bearing stablecoins like USDC, which could raise lending costs. Coinbase counters that yield is a tool for user benefit and efficiency, helping users escape near-zero bank interest rates. Stablecoin issuers like Tether and Circle have become significant buyers of U.S. Treasury bonds, holding $1700 billion in Treasuries and accounting for a small but growing share of the money supply. With foreign demand for U.S. debt declining, stablecoins help sustain Treasury markets. The piece traces the rapid evolution of on-chain yield mechanisms, from Ethena’s USDe—which surged then contracted after deleveraging events—to more mature vault-based models like those on Morpho. While on-chain yield products have advanced, real-world adoption in payments remains limited. The solution proposed is integrating yield into payment systems, making yield a default feature during transactions—not just when holding or idling—thus benefiting users, merchants, and platforms. Examples like Airwallex’s yield products and travel platform partnerships show the potential. The conclusion is that stablecoins must expand utility and user base to succeed, with the next challenge being the governance of yield vaults to prevent systemic risks.

Thin Profit Business? No, DeFi Lending Protocols Are the Underestimated 'King of Value'

In the DeFi lending ecosystem, protocols like Aave and SparkLend capture more value than downstream vaults and even upstream asset issuers, challenging the notion that distribution is king. Despite perceptions of thin margins, lending protocols generate higher revenues than the vaults built on top of them. For example, Ether.fi’s vault pays Aave $4.5M in annual interest fees while earning only $1.07M in platform fees. Similarly, Fluid and Mellow vaults contribute significantly more value to lending protocols than they capture themselves. Even compared to asset issuers like Lido, lending protocols often yield greater economic benefits due to their central role in the credit stack. The true moat of lending protocols lies in their position as the highest value-capture layer in the on-chain credit value chain.

From Aave to Ether.fi: Who Captures the Most Value in the On-Chain Credit System?

In the DeFi lending ecosystem, lending protocols like Aave and SparkLend capture more value than the vaults and asset issuers built on top of them, despite the narrative that distribution is king. Analysis shows that major vaults, including Ether.fi, Fluid, and Mellow, pay more in interest fees to lending protocols than they earn in platform revenue. For example, Ether.fi’s ETH vault pays Aave ~$4.5M annually in interest while earning only ~$1.07M in fees. Even when combining vault strategy revenue and issuer fees (e.g., Lido), lending layer value capture remains higher. Lending protocol income is tied to borrowing scale and remains stable, whereas vault earnings depend heavily on fee structures. The true moat in on-chain credit lies with lending protocols, not distribution or asset issuance.

Vaults, Yields, and the Illusion of Safety: The Real-World Benchmark

Vaults in crypto have evolved beyond simple yield farming tools into programmable portfolio wrappers, yet they remain dangerously misunderstood. While often marketed as yield-generating products, their economic essence is risk. This article reframes vaults as API-wrapped portfolios that embed various strategies—lending, leverage, credit underwriting—while obscuring the actual risks users assume: smart contract risk, counterparty risk, basis risk, and more. Historical data from traditional finance reveals a persistent risk-return ladder: cash/T-bills (~3.3%), investment-grade bonds (~4.5%), high-yield bonds (~7.8%), equities (~9.9%), and private equity/VC (12%+). These returns compensate for specific risks like credit default, liquidity, volatility, and complexity. DeFi’s focus on APY alone ignores this reality, encouraging riskier strategies to compete for yield, leading to systemic fragility (e.g., Stream, Elixir collapses). The solution is to adopt a risk-aware framework: categorize vaults by their risk profile (cash-like, credit, equity, etc.) and transparently communicate the sources of yield and associated risks. This shift is critical for both user protection and institutional adoption.
