ME News message, March 31 (UTC+8), DefiLlama recently used data comparisons to look at Aave stablecoin APY, the Federal Reserve federal funds rate (FFR), and the median interest rate on deposits at U.S. banks. Historically, Aave stablecoin lending rates have fluctuated above and below the FFR multiple times, while U.S. bank deposit rates overall have formed a “floor” for DeFi yield. When bank deposit rates are close to zero, DeFi stablecoin returns may also be close to zero. Based on this, multiple industry participants pointed out that DeFi yields need to compete with traditional finance deposit interest rates, and the portion higher than bank rates mainly reflects an on-chain credit and liquidity risk premium.
