Stablecoin yield strategies are various methods for earning returns while holding stablecoins. The four common approaches are: depositing into DeFi lending protocols (like Aave), holding native yield-bearing stablecoins (like sUSDS, sUSDe), providing DEX liquidity (like Curve), and using centralized exchange fixed deposits or financial products. The yield logic and risk structure behind each method differ significantly — the highest annualized returns often mean the most complex mechanisms or highest risks.
