🚀 You Won’t Believe What Just Launched: Dual Yields Are Here! 💰

So, guess what? Usual, the stablecoin issuer that’s probably cooler than your last Tinder date, just dropped its USD0/USDC liquidity pool on the Fluid DeFi protocol. This means liquidity providers can now earn dual yields from both lending and trading APRs. Yes, you heard that right—double the fun! 🎉

On May 19, the RWA-backed stablecoin protocol Usual announced this exciting launch. It’s like they threw a party and forgot to invite traditional banks. Now, liquidity providers can earn lending APR, trading APR, and even some sweet USUAL rewards on top. Because who doesn’t love a little extra cash? 💸

Powered by Fluid’s fancy architecture (seriously, it’s like the DeFi version of a Swiss Army knife), this launch optimizes liquidity ranges and creates deeper, more efficient markets for stablecoin trading. Translation: tighter spreads and better execution for users. It’s like getting a discount on your favorite coffee—who doesn’t want that? ☕️

But wait, there’s more! The real magic of USD0 on Fluid is its relending mechanism. This allows deposited liquidity to earn returns from both trading activity and lending protocols simultaneously. It’s like having your cake and eating it too—if your cake was made of crypto and your diet was a little more flexible. 🍰

USD0 is a permissionless stablecoin backed by real-world assets—primarily ultra-short maturity U.S. Treasury Bills. It’s like the safe, responsible friend in your group who avoids the drama of traditional banks and their fractional reserve practices. Plus, it offers full transparency of its collateral, so you can verify its backing in real time. No more shady business! 👀

Usual Protocol is led by CEO Pierre Person, a former French politician who probably knows more about crypto legislation than most of us know about our own taxes. He’s on a mission to make stablecoins transparent and equitable, which is a fancy way of saying he’s tired of the old models that privatize gains and socialize losses. Go, Pierre! 🙌

“Existing stablecoin models lack transparency and equitable value distribution, privatizing their gains and socializing their losses, and going against the ethos that web3 was built on,” explained Person. “Usual is proud to be addressing this void by providing a permissionless, real-asset backed stablecoin that shares our profits directly with the community, and empowers our token holders to guide us to the future that they see fit.”

Usual launched USD0 stablecoin alongside its liquid bond product USD0++ last July. This liquid staking token lets users lock USD0 for up to four years, earning rewards in USUAL tokens. It’s tradable in secondary markets, so you can have your cake and sell it too! 🍰💰

In December 2024, Usual’s TVL surpassed $1.4 billion, making it one of the top five stablecoins. Currently, USD0’s TVL stands at $646 million, ranking it as the 10th top stablecoin by market cap on CoinMarketCap. Not too shabby, right? 🎊
