I noticed some recent posts about earning interest on crypto Stablecoins so thought I would share what I've found.

Vauld is offering 12.68% on USD stables (TUSD, DAI, USDC, USDT & BUSD) currently on a 30 day fixed term with no deposit limit and no other token purchase or subscription required. It drops to 9.41% if you want no locking period, at which point you're probably better off looking at YouHodler or Stablehouse. The Vauld company is incorporated in Singapore.

On top of the interest earned at Vauld, you get an additional 2.5% of your interest earned (kinda like cash back) if you use a referral link when registering.

I recently setup a basic website which allows you to filter/view various Centralised Finance websites. When Crypto.com reduced their earning rates I went hunting around to find all the different rates and tokens available. There are limited results for AUD so the greater earn available on USD pushed me in that direction.
Feel free to use the website to find something that matches your circumstances - https://www.stablegains.online/

Note: The website very deliberately does not cover opportunities via DeFi as while the earnings can be higher, they're just completely different products due to complexity and risk. Yes you can get 19.45% on Anchor and it's probably a good idea to put some money there. The Binance UST deal gets you to similar returns but with a relatively low deposit limit.

          No.

          TUSD, USDC, USDT & BUSD are permissioned digital assets.

          DAI is a stablecoin and when backed by USDC makes it just as permissioned as USDC.

              @jjcf: Whitepapers mean nothing. 👀 at the code.

              Tether has the private key. They can and have frozen wallets. This makes USDT a permissioned digital asset and not a cryptocurrency.

      Not sure if being serious or not… but I will assume yes and help you out friend!

      There is essentially a "class" of crypto called Stablecoins that are typically backed by traditional currencies. So a single TrueUSD token would be equivalent to (and can be cashed out to) an actual American dollar. They are indeed quite stable and do not fluctuate where there is turbulence in the markets (either traditional commodities or crypto markets).

      You're going to get better information from a Wikipedia rabbit-hole than an idiot like me though - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stablecoin

      • archer175 on 27/04/2022 - 23:30

        is 12.68% APY is similar to FTX trading 8% APY by just holding crypto or stable coins without staking ?

        • AssociatedAaronR @ Stablegains on 28/04/2022 - 09:07

          Well, the key differences are that this particular deal is locking your funds for 30 days, and has no specific upper limit on deposit size.

          FTX App Earn is only 8% up to $10k USD worth of deposits. Also, the FTX App Earn is technically a "stake", but you can withdraw/opt-out at any time.

          From the FTX website:

          You can now earn yield on your crypto purchases and deposits, as well as your fiat balances, in your FTX app! By opting in and participating in staking your supported assets in your FTX account, you’ll be eligible to earn up to 8% APY on your staked assets.

      You sound a bit confused as to what cryptocurrency actually is.

      Yes, cryptocurrencies per se are subject to wild fluctuations, and are very risky investments.

      On the other hand, stable coins are backed by fiat currency. So they’re not actually cryptocurrencies, even though they operate on the block chain.

      While there might be risks with those stable coins, that is an entirely different subject. Yes, there is a stability risk there, but it is of a very different nature to the risk that attaches to traditional cryptocurrencies.

      • rektrading on 27/04/2022 - 17:32

        So they’re not actually cryptocurrencies, even though they operate on the block chain.

        I beg to differ. Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies. To distinguish these with non-stablecoin crypto, I have seen people starting to use the term variable coin.

        Perhaps because the space is still relatively new, terminologies used are not set in setting stone yet.

          I could disagree with you, but then we would be playing a game of semantics.

          I think this whole discussion has blown up because there’s a suggestion that stablecoins are as risky as “typical” cryptos. That’s just simply not true.

          And a conflation of the two shows the original comment or to not really understand what they’re talking about.

          Stablecoins like TUSD, USDC, USDT & BUSD are NOT cryptocurrencies.

          The core components of a cryptocurrency are.
          1. Decentralized
          2. Permissionless
          3. Not premined
          4. Immutable

          All the digital assets on the list fail one or more of the core components to be a cryptocurrency.

            @rektrading: Perhaps you may want to craft a new term if you disagree, as many would say (centralized and decentralized) stables are a type of crypto.

                            Non-stables could be called variablecoin. This is also a type of crypto.

                            Even though the implementors behind centralized stablecoins may not be decentralized, permissionless etc., these stablecoins are indeed on a system (ERC-20 etc.) which are.

    "Stablecoin" is optimistic marketing at best - a recent stablecoin dropped 85% after being exploited. This is very, very risky. https://www.vice.com/en/article/4awe53/we-are-(profanity)-crypto-stablecoin-collapses-after-dollar182m-hack

    At this point, I'm hoping most people have read the many reports of cryptocurrency scams, fraud, etc. You are taking on a lot of risk. You might do well, or you might lose most/all of it.

    Crypto isn't going anywhere - it's valuable and the tech will help change the financial world significantly. But there are so many scams and flaws -make sure you ask yourself "what will the next 12 months look like if I lose 85% of this?"

      "Stablecoin" is not intended to store funds. It's intended as an intermediary to transfer funds from one currency/ cryptocurrency to another, between exchanges, etc.

      This is why it is stable… you use it to initiate symmetrical deposit and withdrawn transactions, so the transaction value is remains stable.

      But yes, any cryptocurrency can be exploited.

      Yeh. Estimated APY is 18.95% at the moment for a 30 day lock. Up to 30,000 UST. I agree with you here. Much easier at Binance and you do feel a bit more comfortable for sure.

      and 30k usd worth (42k taud) on cdc - earning 8%, sadly with a 3 month lock.

      I already miss the days of no-limit (well technically 1m) 12% stable coin staking on CDC.

        Well… I also missed the 12% on CDC days until I realised I'm better off elsewhere anyway! It's a little more effort parking the tokens in various places and monitoring, but I'm now earning more than I was before. I'm actually going to move my 8% 3 month away from CDC once it's done.

    I have some BTC parked with them earning 6.7%. No issues, have withdrawn countless times and quickly. I wouldn't put a large amount in though, but they have got investment from Coinbase ventures.

    I still prefer Ledn and Nexo for my BTC, at least they are independently audited for proof of reserves from Armanino.

    • AssociatedAaronR @ Stablegains on 27/04/2022 - 17:01

      Are you using any of the platforms for stables instead of BTC?

      Have you looked at Wirex for BTC? I only use them for USD but the crypto rates are decent (10% BTC / 14% USD) if you have enough and fork out for the subscription.

      • cute as duck on 27/04/2022 - 18:23

        TBH I hve never heard of Wirex but I will check it out. I only hold BTC, no stables or any other coin.

        I use Ledn (5.25% up to 0.5 BTC), Nexo (5% up to US$50K), Celsius (6.5% up to 0.1BTC), and smaller bags in Vauld, Hodlnaut (5.33%) and YouHodler (4.5% for referral bonuses).

        • Revrnd on 27/04/2022 - 19:01

            @Revrnd: Are you talking about the swap function? If yes then I wouldn't be too concerned as these CeFi providers have high spread fees. It usually is cheaper in most cases to withdraw, perform the swap and transfer back in.

            Celsius also doesn't have the swap function activated for Aussies.

          Edit: A word of warning - the site/app is confusing to the point it feels deliberate, probably like their earn rates. Once you can get past that, the rates are top tier.

    Great website bro. May be good idea to include withdrawal fees for each platforms. (e.g. YouHodler took $20 on withdrawal ERC20)

    P.S. I'm also keen to know which platform you convert and send your AUD to USDT (e.g.)

    • mountaineer on 07/05/2022 - 15:54

      For Youhodler just use BEP 20 chain for 1 USDT withdrawal fee…
