Double digit APR just for having assets on @vertex_protocol . The risk engine is still poorly understood by others but so long as perp funding remains elevated - USDC depositors should continue to benefit. You’re welcome. 😜 Why and where the money is? Previous threads below:

Always flattering for someone to pick up on @vertex_protocol amongst our peer group… but what strikes me is how early we are. Yesterday perps volumes: ALL Perp DEXs $5bn ONLY Binance $80bn So much work to do. Room for everyone on this list to 10x grow AT LEAST.

When @AlwinPeng and I first discussed Edge I was impressed with two things: 1. His conviction on the speed with which he could deliver the tech. (2 months for this is ridiculous) BUT ALSO 2. His clarity of vision on what it might represent for crypto. Read this thread.

Last minute movements abound… USDC - one large participant exited. Smaller players quickly stepping in to replace. (Feels a healthy diversification dynamic) Net 1.18m out. VRTX - 200k tokens added. 🫣

9 hours left on the @vertex_protocol LBA. 👀 USDC ticking up to $5.73m. VRTX steady at 1.21% of supply. 10m VRTX of incentives, so plenty of reason for more to jump in on both sides. (hence high APR) 1300 UTC contributions end! (1301 UTC I sleep for a week)
