> **Visual Note:** An infographic explaining how apyx.fi offers apyUSD with a targeted ~13% APY, contrasting it with lower yields from stablecoins like Aave USDC (~2–3%), sUSDe (~4%), and T-bills (~3.5–4%), by backing the token with dividend-paying preferred equity such as $STRC and $SATA from Bitcoin treasury companies.

AAVE USDC ~2–3%
sUSDe ~4%
T-bills ~3.5–4%

Meanwhile,

The idea is simple:

even more telling, aave alone generated more fees than ranks 2–10 combined at ~$1.57b.

lending liquidity may be fragmenting.
