The Rise of Yield-Bearing Stablecoins

Holding stablecoins is starting to get more rewarding. In the past, they were just a safe place to park money, but now exchanges and projects are finding new ways to give people returns for holding them.

Take GHO as an example. Right now, you can earn around 15% APR just for holding it. This is a limited-time offer, but it shows a bigger trend: platforms are competing for stablecoin users by offering higher yields.



The question is whether this can last. Big promotional rates usually drop once enough people join. Still, with more stablecoins in the market and growing demand for them, we might be moving toward a future where earning yield on stables becomes normal.



If that happens, simply holding stablecoins could turn into a steady, low-risk way to earn passive income in crypto.
