> **Visual Note:** The image displays two lending pool entries showing high supply APYs for USD3 (60.87% and 6.92%) against USDC on Morpho, with borrow APYs of -6.82% and -6.87% respectively—reflecting the depressed interest rates following Yearn's liquidations mentioned in the post, where users are stubbornly holding USD3 despite negative annualized returns.

> "A couple of days ago, because Yearn liquidated loans, the dual-pool lending interest for USD3 got wiped out to over 30%. If you factor in the loop position, the annualized return is already negative 200%+.

> 
> "Yield/vaults aggregation is quite concentrated.

DefiLlama tracks ~$1.19B across the category. CIAN, Yearn and Fluid Lite control 48%; the top 10 control ~80%.

CIAN ~60% of its TVL is on ETH, but ~99% of the yield DefiLlama attributed to its vaults over the last 30 days came"
