RealFi Says Its Stablecoin Yield Tops 12% as Ethereum Launch Nears

RealFi Chief Business Officer Seny Orlov joins CoinDesk’s Jennifer Sanasie to break down the protocol’s Cardano mainnet launch, which followed a public testnet with more than 3,000 verified wallets. He explains how staked USDr earns yield from real-world assets and why that portfolio is producing an annualized yield of over 12% right now. Orlov also covers why family offices and trading firms want a dollar that’s both durable and usable in DeFi, describes integrations with SundaeSwap and Strike Finance, and outlines the Ethereum mainnet launch planned for next month.
