USDC DEFI STRATEGIES

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

“USDC-in USDC-out” strategies aggregate USDC lending across protocols, like Summer Finance's Lazy Summer (≈7.4%), srUSD (6.7% APY), Gauntlet's USD Alpha (7.7%), Infinifi Labs' siUSD/liUSD (8%–13.4%), and Euler frontier markets (12%–14%), to deliver steady yields without any swapping or slippage. They combine organic interest with native token incentives and just-in-time capital activation through composable vault architectures. All maintain full USDC liquidity on exit, enabling seamless redeployment for trading opportunities, deleveraging, or expense coverage.
