ME News reports that on March 31 (UTC+8), DefiLlama recently compared data on Aave stablecoin APY, the Federal Funds Rate (FFR), and the median interest rate on deposits at U.S. banks. Historically, the lending interest rate on Aave stablecoins has fluctuated above and below the FFR multiple times, while the U.S. bank deposit rates have generally formed a “floor” for DeFi yields. When the U.S. bank deposit rate approaches zero, DeFi stablecoin returns may also approach zero. Based on this, several industry participants have pointed out that DeFi yields need to compete with traditional financial deposit interest rates, and the portion exceeding bank rates mainly reflects on-chain credit and liquidity risk premiums.
