Overview
CUSD is a fiat-backed stablecoin used as base collateral across lending protocols and the dominant quote asset on DEX pools. Its role in DeFi primarily involves serving as settlement currency, making it suitable for yield strategies that capitalize on its stability. Lending and liquidity pool pairing are common ways to generate returns with CUSD.
Six active pools across two chains and five protocols accept CUSD, offering a best APY of 6.39%. This limited venue count suggests a more concentrated exposure compared to broader multi-chain availability. The asset’s presence spans Ethereum and one major L2 network, indicating a focus on established infrastructure for yield generation.
Tracked TVL sits at $5.5M, reflecting its niche but stable role in DeFi. APY variance is mainly driven by lending utilization rates across the supported chains. The headline risk for CUSD includes depegging risk, alongside smart-contract exposure when deployed through various protocols. Higher-yield strategies typically carry more contract risk than conservative supply-side lending options.
