Right but I'm only seeing pretty low interest on those platforms, which doesn't compensate for the risks of smartcontracts and going outside the usual financial system. Did you have a specific one you think is worth it?

For example, on Compound, USDC only pays 0.82%, or 1.3% if you count the COMP token rewards.

Also I don't think you can invest just in USDC on Curve, you have to do a pool that exposes you to some other currency, although I think DAI is solid and Curve has a cUSDC/cDAI pool:

I'd go with the 2.8% from Aave, I don't think I have seen anything better from the other major/reliable protocols.
I don’t see what you’re referring to. Can you provide a link?
It's on here: https://app.aave.com/markets/

...but rates have fallen already, I guess everyone is fleeing to stables and within stables everyone is fleeing to USDC. Current USDC rate is 1.46% (vs. 2% for USDT)

Right, that's where I went, and it didn't have the yields you represented, so I wasn't sure I found the right place.

Turns out I did find the right place, you just posted long-obsolete figures as fact without checking, in a thread where the actual values were the central point of discussion.

Sorry for the outdated figure, I last checked about a week ago but I guess they change fast as everyone flees to stables.
