USDS staking rewards have returned to Sky! When staking SKY you can now choose if you want rewards in SKY or USDS. The rewards are entirely funded by protocol income Additionally permanent token burn funded with protocol income have also started

The image displays two Sky (formerly MakerDAO) staking options: staking SKY to earn USDS rewards at 14.85% APY (with 2.81B SKY staked) or staking SKY to earn SKY rewards at 8.05% APY (with 2.78B SKY staked). This visually confirms the post's announcement that USDS staking rewards have returned to Sky, giving users a choice between USDS or SKY rewards.

If you don't want to miss out on 31% APY, get in before it's TOO LATE. The PT-sUSDS Looping Cap is now 68% full and will only support the next $1.4m in loopers. What you get: 31% APY until 27 Aug 13% APY thereafter Not bad for yields powered by @SkyEcosystem

Why is Sky cutting its holder payout by 90%, while posting record revenues? Because $SKY is the layer that absorbs the loss. If the collateral behind $USDS ever comes up short, new SKY gets minted and sold to cover the hole. Thankfully it has never once been triggered. So right

The chart breaks down Sky's Q2 2026 gross protocol revenue of $107.35M, showing that $53.91M went to sUSDS savers, $29.87M was added to Sky Reserves, and only $3.41M (about 3.2%) went to SKY buybacks—visually illustrating the post's point that despite record revenues, the vast majority of earnings flow elsewhere while SKY holders absorb backstop risk for the system.

Every 30 days, roughly $13.5M in yield accrues to sUSDS holders at the current 3.52% Sky Savings Rate. $4.9B in sUSDS supply and growing. Why aren't you accessing the Sky Savings Rate?

The biggest moves always happen in the dark. I caught $SKY at a 5k valuation before the breakout started. Stop watching the charts after the liquidity is already gone. Join the inner circle for the next one.
