What are stablecoins and why do they generate yield?

Stablecoins are cryptocurrencies pegged to the US dollar. The most widely used — USDC, USDT and USDS — combine dollar stability with the ability to earn yield on DeFi protocols or CeFi platforms.

Yields come from real loan demand: traders and protocols that need stablecoin liquidity pay interest to depositors. Unlike tokens with artificially high APYs, stablecoin yields are backed by real market demand.

DeFi vs CeFi for stablecoins

DeFi (Aave, Morpho, Fluid, Euler): you control your assets via your own wallet. Higher APY and no centralised counterparty risk, but requires technical knowledge.

CeFi (Binance, Maple Finance): the platform holds your assets. Simpler interface, more accessible for beginners.

Stablecoins vs bank deposits

The best European bank deposits offer up to 3.5% APY with DGS guarantee (up to €100,000). Stablecoins offer between 3.75% and 6.7%, but without deposit guarantee. The yield difference compensates for the additional risk.

Frequently asked questions
What is a stablecoin?
A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency pegged to the US dollar. The most popular are USDC (Circle), USDT (Tether) and USDS (Sky/MakerDAO). Their goal is to maintain a stable price, unlike Bitcoin or Ethereum.
How much can I earn with stablecoins in 2026?
In 2026, the best stablecoin APYs range from 3.5% to 6.7%. Highest rates are on DeFi lending protocols (Euler 6.7%, Fluid 4.1%) or centralised exchanges like Binance (USDC 5%).
Are stablecoins safe?
Stablecoins carry different risks from bank deposits: de-pegging risk, platform risk, and regulatory risk. USDC and USDT have solid track records but there is no deposit guarantee scheme.
DeFi vs CeFi for stablecoins?
In DeFi (Aave, Morpho) a smart contract manages deposits on blockchain without a centralised custodian. In CeFi (Binance, Nexo) the platform holds your assets. DeFi removes centralised counterparty risk but adds smart contract risk.
