Is Your Stablecoin Earning You Money? w/ CEO of Phoenix Labs and Contributor to Spark
The Milk Road Show
Intro
This chapter explores the innovative landscape of stablecoins, focusing on the Maker ecosystem and its subDAO Spark. It highlights Spark's recent financial growth, the implications of a new liquidity layer, and the anticipation surrounding the launch of its own token.
Is your stablecoin earning you money? Probably not. While most stablecoins sit idle, there's a revolution happening in DeFi. We're talking 9.5% yield on USD-backed stablecoins, and it's not some risky algo-stable magic. This is real yield, powered by Spark Protocol and the MakerDAO ecosystem. In today's episode of The Milk Road Show, Sam MacPherson, CEO of Phoenix Labs and contributor to Spark, joins us to uncover the secrets behind sustainable, high-yield stablecoins, the future of multichain stablecoins, and the explosive growth of Spark Protocol's revenue.
