There's a big stablecoin liquidity rotation happening.
@ethena has been losing capital all week:
→ sUSDe TVL down 5.6% (~$114M)
→ Yield dropped from 5.14% in December to 3.56% today
The issue?
Ethena's yield comes from funding rates in perp markets. When demand for leveraged longs drops, funding falls.
Lower funding = lower yield.
That capital is most likely rotating into @maplefinance, @SkyEcosystem, and @aave, since they all had double-digit TVL growth this week.
These protocols generate yield from lending, not trading activity. Returns are more stable and less tied to perp market conditions.
Personally, I'll take boring, safe yield over one that depends on market activity any day of the week.
Since launch, @ethena has already paid out almost $0.5 BILLION in yield.
DeFi is huge. https://t.co/z8ycP5SQ8s
