Since PTs forgo points to YTs, they pretty much ALWAYS earn more yield than the underlying.
In rare instances such as PT-jrUSDe, however, this might NOT be the case.
Let your boy take a look into @strata_fi's jrUSDe and why this might be happening.
👇
♻️ Strata
Strata is a yield-tranching protocol built on @ethena_labs' sUSDe.
From sUSDe, it spawns off two derivatives:
🔵 srUSDe: Senior tranche that earns STABLE yield
🟢 jrUSDe: Junior tranche that earns VOALTILE yield
🔵 srUSDe
As the senior tranche stablecoin, srUSDe is designed to replicate DeFi's risk-free rate - in this case, @aave's USDC and USDT lend rates.
This has historically hovered around ~4% APY which is pretty damn good for low risk stablecoin yield.
⚪️ sUSDe
While srUSDe earns 4% APY by imitating Aave's USDC and USDT lend rates, recall that its source of yield is actually sUSDe that has a completely different yield profile.
Indeed, with sUSDe's current ~5.0% APY, one must ponder WHERE that extra yield ran off to!
🟢 jrUSDe
Since srUSDe targets Aave's USD APY and sUSDe earns a different APY, any excess (or shortfall) is redirected towards jrUSDe!
So how much APY does jrUSDe earn?
Well... it depends on the ratio of srUSDe vs. jrUSDe in circulation!
📚 jrUSDe APY
With $161.5m of srUSDe forgoing 1% APY vs. its underlying, this additional yield is fully forwarded to jrUSDe.
Since jrUSDe is a teeny portion of TOTAL yield, they end up netting a hefty ~17.3% APY.
All in pure stabelcoin yield WITHOUT leverage 🤯
Looking at APYs over time, its interseting to observe teh difference in yield curves between srUSDe and jrUSDe.
While this does mean jrUSDe probably isn't suited for the faint-hearted, its average APY is actually 8.4%.
That's nearly 2x higher than the senior tranche!
