Stable, a USDT-focused Layer 1 blockchain, has introduced StableEarn, a yield vault that offers USDT holders returns tied to US Treasuries and gold. Developed with partners Morpho, Gauntlet, and Theo, StableEarn addresses the lack of native yield on USDT by routing holdings through real-world asset-backed strategies, providing a lower-risk, institutional-grade yield option. This product is significant as USDT, the largest stablecoin with a $150 billion supply, currently pays no yield to holders, with Tether retaining all interest profits. StableEarn allows USDT holders to earn competitive returns without needing to bridge to other blockchains, aligning with growing demand for yield-bearing stablecoins amid evolving regulatory frameworks.
