Bernstein assumes that DeFi yields are going to recover in the wake of expecting US rate cuts.

As U. S. Federal Reserve rate cuts are foreseeable the analysts at Bernstein expect the DeFi yields to rise again soon. A cut of 25 or 50bps may well reignite DeFi and Ethereum lending markets, both of which had lost steam in recent days. 

 

The coordinative DeFi Yields will continue to rise following the US Rate Cuts 

As per Bernstein analysts such as Gautam Chhugani, Mahika Sapra, and Sanskar Chindalia the potential rate cut could make DeFi yields appealing again. “A rate cut could be that event that would restart the crypto credit markets and in turn bring fresh attention to DeFi and Ethereum, as seen below,” they said in a client note. 

DeFi models including Aave enable stakeholders from around the world get an income from investing in USDC, USDT and other stablecoin positions in lending markets. While the juicy returns from Summer 2020 are a thing of the past, stablecoin lending yields on Aave, the largest lending platform on the Ethereum network, hovers between 3%. 7% and 3. 9%. 

 

The Market of DeFi Indicates Signs of Recovery 

Given that the rate cycle has become dovish and a new cycle of crypto markets is brewing, crypto lending markets are on the rebound. The value locked into DeFi has more than doubled since their low at the beginning of the year to $77 billion, while the number of monthly active DeFi users is up three to four times from the bottom of the market. Both stablecoins as well as the general crypto market are also on the rise again and are currently at a value of approximately 178 billion USD. 

Bernstein taking it further concludes that if crypto traders credit appetite rises, stablecoin DeFi yields could be more than 5 % and be better than even the U. S. dollar money market funds. This could in turn generate more business for crypto credit markets and increase digital asset price levels. 

 

It Becomes Aave and Ethereum 

In accordance with these trends, Bernstein has included the Aave token to the list of digital assets in its possession replacing derivative platforms such as GMX and Synthetix. Aave’s total borrowings have more than tripled since January 2023 lows, the token is up by 23 percent in the last one month while Bitcoin prices have remained flat or declined.

While Ether has underperformed relative to Bitcoin, with its ratio dropping 36% over the past year, the resurgence of DeFi lending markets on Ethereum could attract institutional investors and large whales back to crypto credit markets. This could act as a catalyst to reverse Ether’s underperformance and renew focus on DeFi and Ethereum.
