Original title: Stablecoin Update May 2025  Original source: Artemis Original compilation: Bitpush In the crypto market, stablecoins are no longer just "stable" – they are quietly helping you make money. From U.S. Treasury yields to perpetual contract arbitrage, yield-bearing stablecoins are becoming the new income engine for crypto investors. At present, there are dozens of related projects with a market value of more than $20 million, with a total value of more than $10 billion. In this article, we will break down the revenue sources of mainstream interest-earning stablecoins, and take stock of the most representative projects in the market to see who is really "making money" for you. What is an interest-bearing stablecoin? Unlike regular stablecoins, such as USDT or USDC, which only serve as a store of value, interest-bearing stablecoins allow users to earn passive income during their holdings. Their core value lies in bringing additional income to coin holders through the underlying strategy while keeping the stablecoin price anchored. How are the benefits generated? There are various sources of income for interest-bearing stablecoins, which can be summarised into the following categories: Real World Asset (RWA) Investments: Protocols invest money in real-world low-risk assets such as U.S. Treasury bonds (T-bills), money market funds, or corporate bonds, and return the proceeds from those investments to the holders. DeFi Strategy: The protocol deposits stablecoins into decentralised finance (DeFi) liquidity pools, conducts liquidity farming, or employs "delta-neutral" strategies to extract yield from market inefficiencies. Borrowing: The deposit is lent to the borrower, and the interest paid by the borrower becomes the income of the holder. Debt Support: The protocol allows users to lock up crypto assets as collateral to lend stablecoins. The income is primarily derived from stability fees or interest generated on non-stablecoin collateral. Hybrid Sources: Yield comes from a variety of combinations such as tokenised RWA, DeFi protocols, centralised finance (CeFi) platforms, etc., to achieve diversified returns. A quick overview of the interest-bearing stablecoin market landscape (projects with a total supply of about $20 million and above) Below is a list of some of the current mainstream interest-bearing stablecoin projects, categorised according to their main yield generation strategies.

Do so many projects want to send RWA on XRP? No XRP at all, what to do?
