ZEROBASE CeDeFi · Base

USDC

Overview

The ZEROBASE CeDeFi USDC pool on Base is a single-asset stablecoin deposit position where users earn yield by supplying USDC to the protocol. The protocol generates yield through basis trading strategies, which involve arbitrage opportunities in the price discrepancies of assets across different markets or timeframes. This pool stands as one of several venues for USDC deposits within the Basis Trading category on Base.

The total APY is 9.0%, composed of a base rate of 7.0% and an additional reward layer of 2.0%. The 7-day trend and the 30-day trend are both flat, with no change over these periods. Current yield levels are below the 30-day mean of 8.99%, indicating that yields have been higher on average in recent weeks. This suggests a stable yield environment for the pool.

TVL is $36K, showing stability without any reported changes over the past week. The primary risk exposure here is depeg risk due to the single-asset nature focused on USDC. Given its relatively low TVL and the specific trading strategies employed by ZEROBASE CeDeFi, this pool requires careful monitoring of market conditions affecting stablecoin valuations.
