Yala stablecoin price

In the BTCfi sector, Yala's recent growth has been impressive, and its operations are commendable. Let me briefly share my understanding of Yala's operational rhythm👇 1️⃣ User positioning: Balancing between large holders/institutions and retail investors, launching different products tailored to the preferences and needs of different groups. > BTC large holders/institutions: Provide most of the liquidity, requiring secure custody and stable returns. > Retail investors: Large volume and base, pursuing high returns. Yala has launched custody solutions suitable for both groups, opening up the ceiling for TVL growth. 2️⃣ Staged minting to enhance market expectations. For TVL, the Yala team has been relatively "restrained," opening minting in phases, with each phase having a cap. After three phases, the TVL of $YU reached over 210M+, making it the second-largest among all BTC over-collateralized CDPs; At the same time, various DeFi protocol mining yields are used to increase the application scenarios and efficiency of YU, revitalizing TVL. 3️⃣ $YU fund supermarket, diversified yield strategies. The primary application scenario for YU is wealth management. The Earn section on the Yala website resembles a fund supermarket for YU, with clear positioning for different yield products: > Various stablecoin mining around $YU ➕ leverage (I went for Kamimo+ Rate X, after all, the stablecoin yield subsidy is really attractive) > Yala Lite's limited fixed income 12% wealth management activity (it seems to be aimed at retail investors but was snapped up by large holders in a minute 😂; another question is where the 12% APR yield comes from, which seems unclear) > RWA yields: The Yala Real Yield interface offers yield products from three top U.S. private equity funds, APY 5%+, currently not open yet, but this type of product seems more aligned with the preferences of Asian large holders and institutions. 4️⃣ Ultimate payment route: U Card + Circle alliance. Yala recently announced a partnership with Alchemy Pay➕Circle, launching the U Card to connect YU's payment scenarios. The most challenging aspect of stablecoins is payments, and Yala can easily achieve two points: a) YU is pegged to USDC; b) using YU for consumption far surpasses many on-chain stablecoins. Behind Yala's rapid growth is the core team's profound thinking on stablecoins and strong BD resources. Looking forward to more new moves from Yala @yalaorg @VickyXAI @Bin_YalaLabs @cktlore

BTCFi Alpha File #02: July 11 BTCFi has crossed $6.35B in TVL, up +500% YoY. That’s the headline. But the real alpha is in the rotation. Because total TVL tells you size. Inflow delta tells you conviction. Some protocols are just passengers, lifted by the broader wave. Others are magnets, pulling in liquidity, users, and ecosystem mindshare through better architecture and stronger design. To find out where the real traction is, I analyzed TVL shifts across the BTCFi ecosystem over the past 7 days and 1 month. I wasn’t just looking for TVL spikes. I was looking for: > Early product-market fit > Sticky inflows over time > Signs of protocols moving from speculative to foundational Here are five of the strongest signals over the past 1M: 1️⃣ @yalaorg • TVL: $211.7M • 7D: +53.5% • 1M: +394% Yala is building the MakerDAO of BTCFi. Users lock Bitcoin, mint a stablecoin (YU), and loop it back into DeFi. It's capital-efficient. It's straightforward. And it works. A 4x increase in 30 days doesn’t happen by accident. That points to real demand for capital-efficient Bitcoin-backed liquidity. 2️⃣ @garden_finance • TVL: $4.48M • 7D: +71.6% • 1M: +91% Garden is infrastructure that routes $BTC between chains. Fast swaps (30s). It does it without CEX friction, without shady wrappers, and with almost zero noise. This kind of growth doesn't come from hype. It comes from real usage. BTCFi capital is starting to rotate across ecosystems, and Garden is already carrying the traffic. This is the kind of protocol that just works. You don’t see it in the headlines. You see it in the flows. 3️⃣ @b14g_network • TVL: $200.8M • 7D: +7.6% • 1M: +1.7% b14g is a restaking protocol that uses dual-token staking. You stake both BTC and b14g to participate. That alignment is key. It reduces emissions, slows down sell pressure, and builds stronger validator economics. It also opens up restaking to future appchains. The TVL growth here isn’t explosive. But it’s sticky. In restaking, that matters more. You want infrastructure that holds value through market noise. 4️⃣ Chain Fusion (@dfinity) • TVL: $48.8M • 7D: +2.1% • 1M: +40.1% Chain Fusion solves a core BTCFi problem: trust-minimized, cross-chain BTC. Built by Dfinity, it mints ckBTC: a 1:1 backed BTC derivative with smart contract custody, no bridges, and near-zero fees. 5️⃣ @TheTNetwork • TVL: $594.3M • 7D: +1.3% • 1M: +74% Threshold is the team behind tBTC, a fully permissionless Bitcoin bridge. It was early. Maybe too early. But now the timing looks right. TVL is rising again. Institutions want secure, non-custodial $BTC access. BTCFi protocols want integrations with credible bridges. And the market is shifting toward self-custody again. tBTC is quietly picking up momentum from all sides, including latest integration with @SuiNetwork. ● What the Flows Are Signaling? BTCFi isn’t just one thing anymore. The ecosystem is fragmenting. Routing. Vaults. CDPs. Restaking. Different layers. Different users. Real usage. The protocols that are winning aren’t offering the highest APRs. They’re offering the best architecture. That’s what sticks. Momentum doesn’t have to be loud. It has to be consistent. ✍️ Final Take TVL tells you who made it last cycle. Inflows tell you who is building for the next one. In a $6.35B BTCFi ecosystem, the most interesting data point is not who has the most capital. It’s who is earning the next wave of it. These five protocols are doing exactly that.
