Cardano2026-10-18 10:52:54Cardano stablecoin USDrf offers 49.31% yield on Strike as Bodega lists $1 million deposit marketRealFi’s dollar-pegged token USDrf is offering a 49.31% annualized yield on Strike Finance, according to a Techub summary citing BeInCrypto. The token is backed by off-chain real-world assets, including direct corporate loans, U.S. Treasuries, and floating-rate bonds. Users can stake USDrf to receive sUSDrf, which can then be posted as collateral on Strike to borrow other assets. Strike data showed about $119,200 in related loans. The product has also become the subject of a prediction market on Cardano. Founder Charles Hoskinson proposed a market on whether USDrf deposits on Strike can reach $1 million, and Cardano-based prediction platform Bodega later listed that market. Strike’s official data showed its vault rising from roughly $100,000 to $150,000 within one hour on Oct. 17. Code files for RealFi indicate that protocol reserves would absorb losses before sUSDrf holders. Separately, as of Oct. 8, a single holder controlled about 66% of the RealFi staking vault, which held roughly 2.58 million USDrf.30

Pharos Networ2026-07-14 10:52:40Pharos launches Axil Prime Credit Vault with 14.3% target APY and $100 million capPharos Network has introduced Axil Prime Credit Vault, or APC, an onchain private credit vault built to give a broader base of depositors access to an asset class that has typically been reserved for large funds, family offices, and institutional trading desks. The vault carries a target APY of about 14.3% and a total fundraising cap of $100 million in USDC. Distribution is set to run through OKX Wallet, Binance Wallet, TopNod, and Kucoin Wallet. According to Pharos, APC is fully managed by Axil and deployed through the R25 protocol on the Pharos network. Yield is designed to come from two components: the underlying private credit portfolio and ecosystem incentives paid in $PROS plus USDC. The project says this structure ties returns to real-world consumer credit cash flows rather than token inflation or speculative trading activity. The vault is scheduled to open to the public on July 15. Depositors can subscribe using Circle-supported native USDC on Pharos or bridged USDC from Ethereum. Pharos said earlier participation allows users to accumulate more yield days before the formal lock-up period begins. The company also pointed to its earlier pAlpha vault, saying it completed its lifecycle without security incidents.2550
